- Kami, an education advocate from Missouri, plays Irish sports;
- Hemant, a blogger from Illinois, tried to sell his soul on eBay; and
- Leanne, a legal secretary from New York, did opera using cat puppets. Leanne entered the game as a one-day champ with winnings of $22,500.
Leanne moved closer to Hemant on DD2 and took first place away on the final clue of DJ, leading into FJ with $14,400 vs. $14,200 for Hemant and $1,000 for Kami.
DD1, $800 - DREAM BOATS - The Astraea, a Roman slave galley from an 1880 novel (Leanne lost $1,500 from her score of $5,000.)
DD2, $1,200 - RECENT PLAYS FROM REAL LIFE - The Public Theater's "Mother of the Maid" is about Isabelle, the mom of this martyr (Leanne won $2,500 from her total of $6,700 vs. $10,200 for Hemant.)
DD3 - Not seen
FJ - CANADIAN GEOGRAPHY - Canada's Four Corners monument marks the junction of the Northwest Territories, Nunavut & these 2 Prairie provinces
The players didn't study their provinces closely enough as everyone missed FJ. Hemant wisely went with a modest $201 wager and took the win worth $13,999.
Triple Stumpers of the day: The contestants missed 4 out of 5 in a category about literary sea vessels, including not knowing the Orca was from the 1974 book "Jaws", or that the Hispaniola was "searching for booty" in "Treasure Island".
Correct Qs:
DD1 - What is "Ben-Hur"?
DD2 - Who was Joan of Arc?
FJ - What are Saskatchewan and Manitoba?
