- Dave, an information professional and writer from Michigan, interviewed Marcel Marceau, who "can speak a lot";
- Christine, a law professor from Utah, won cartoon caption contests and also judged them; and
- Rodolfo, an IT project manager from New York, has heard all of the "500 Greatest Albums", including his favorite "White Album". Rodolfo is a one-day champ with winnings of $18,799.
Christine missed both DDs in DJ, but made very small bets and with a strong finish, took the lead into FJ with $14,178 vs. $11,200 for Rodolfo and $5,200 for Dave.
DD1, $600 - GOOD WHEELS - "An America in which all seniors live nourished lives with indep. & dignity" is the vision of this charity with a rhyming name (Christine won $920 from her leading total of $6,600.)
DD2, $1,200 - WORLD HISTORY - In 1918, Woodrow Wilson outlined these, one of which was free navigation of all seas (Christine lost $1,118 from her score of $9,120 vs. $2,000 for Dave.)
DD3, $1,600 - IT'S ASTRONOMICAL - In 2012 this probe left the heliopause (the boundary of the sun's magnetic field) & headed out into interstellar space (Christine lost $624 from her total of $9,202 vs. $11,200 for Rodolfo.)
FJ - PLANTS & TREES - One of Britain's few native evergreen trees, it's prized for bringing color to winter, & its foliage is often hung in homes
Rodolfo chose to bet nearly everything on FJ instead of locking out Dave with a small wager. This allowed Dave to take the victory as the only player to be correct, adding $3,018 to win with $8,218.
TV Troubles: No one knew original Wheel of Fortune host Chuck Woolery, or the "Edge of Glory" diva who acted on "American Horror Story", Lady Gaga.
This day in Trebekistan: In his opening, Alex once again felt compelled to comment on Kirby's lackluster performance on the previous show. Sure, we all expected a bit more after her strong win over Jennifer, but based on Alex's comments you'd think Kirby pulled a Wolf Blitzer.
Correct Qs:
DD1 - What is Meals on Wheels?
DD2 - What is 14-point plan?
DD3 - Who is Voyager?
FJ - What is holly?
