- Jennifer, a wine-tasting consultant from Michigan, has goats to clean up the yard ;
- Davita, a retired court clerk from Oregon, flew hot air balloons in Las Vegas; and
- Stephanie, a social studies teacher from Colorado, knows the kids today can't get enough of serial killers. Stephanie is a one-day champ with winnings of $12,399.
This was a Secretariat-style rout, as Jennifer very impressively drew off to lead into FJ with $35,200 vs. $6,000 for Davita and $4,400 for Stephanie.
DD1, $800 - BENGAL - This capital of the state of West Bengal is spelled with 2 Ks; it used to be spelled using 2 Cs (Jennifer won $2,000 from her leading score of $10,000.)
DD2, $1,600 - HISTORIC NAMES - In 1609 he published "New Astronomy", containing his first 2 laws of planetary motion (Jennifer added $3,000 to her total of $11,400.)
DD3, $800 - LITERARY PASSINGS - This nemesis perishes when he plunges off Switzerland's Reichenbach Falls with the hero (Jennifer picked up $4,000 from her score of $16,800.)
FJ - OPERA TITLE NAMES - Before being consumed in flames, he flirts with a bride on her wedding day & a list of his amorous conquests is sung
Fittingly, Jennifer was the only player to be correct on FJ, adding $10,000 to win with $45,200.
Triple Stumper of the day: The players couldn't nail down the first part of the Meat Loaf title "I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)".
This day in Trebekistan: Alex continued his newfound obsession with clearing both boards. So I guess that means the end of long-winded sponsored categories that cause leftovers? I didn't think so.
Correct Qs:
DD1 - What is Kolkata?
DD2 - Who was Kepler?
DD3 - Who was Professor Moriarty?
FJ - Who is Don Giovanni (Don Juan)?
