- Melissa, a retired history teacher, took 25 years to get her B.A.;
- Garrett, a software engineer, solves big jigsaw puzzles; and
- Phillip, a naval officer, plays games over the internet. Phillip is a two-day champ with winnings of $43,000.
Phillip missed all three DDs, which helped result in an easy runaway for Garrett at $17,000 vs. $5,600 for Phillip and $4,600 for Melissa.
DD1, $1,000 - YOUR HEART'S CONTENT - Your heart has a natural this, the sinoatrial node, which emits electrical impulses that cause it to contract (Phillip lost $3,600 on a true DD.)
DD2, $2,000 - AT THE AIRPORT - Idlewild Wine Bar (Phillip dropped $2,000 from his total of $3,000 vs. $7,800 for Garrett.)
DD3, $2,000 - HEADS UP! & OFF! - After his death in 43 B.C., this Roman orator made a final appearance on the speakers' platform at the forum -- well, his head & hands did (Phillip lost $2,600 on a true DD vs. $10,200 for Garrett.)
FJ - FAMOUS AMERICANS - Will Smith & Lennox Lewis were pallbearers at this man's 2016 funeral
Only Melissa was correct on FJ. Garrett dropped $3,000 to win with $14,000.
TV troubles: No one knew the place where Nickelodeon's penguins are from is Madagascar, or that Tim, the animal from "The Cleveland Show" that can get away with mauling someone, is a bear.
This day in Trebekistan: Sadly, Alex declined an opportunity to do an impression of Triumph, the Insult Comic Dog.
Correct Qs: DD1 - What is a pacemaker? DD2 - What is JFK Airport? DD3 - Who was Cicero? FJ - Who was Muhammad Ali?
