Here are today's contestants:
- Teja, a clinical researcher, got caught in a big hurricane in a small boat;
- Pamela, a lawyer, is an avid hiker; and
- Brayden, a policy intern, is a big jazz fan. Brayden is a two-day champ with winnings of $66,000.
For the third time, Brayden discovered all the DDs and was correct on them, cruising into FJ with $36,400 vs. $7,000 for Teja and $2,200 for Pamela.
DD1 - $1,000 - AUTHORS & THEIR PETS - Of this author's dogs, Charley was a good boy, & Toby, who ate the first draft for "Of Mice & Men", was definitely a bad boy (On the third clue, Brayden won the table limit of $1,000.)
DD2 - $1,200 - 1800s AMERICA - In 1830 the first 13 miles of this railroad opened for service, all within Maryland (Brayden won $3,000 from his total of $13,000 vs. $3,800 for Teja.)
DD3 - $1,200 - ARCHAEOLOGISTS - William Stukeley thought this site was a druid temple when he excavated it in the 18th century (Brayden won $4,000 from his score of $24,400 vs. $5,400 for Teja.)
FJ - PLAY CHARACTERS - This title character says, "Who find my visage's center ornament to be a thing to jest at -- it is my wont -- to let him taste my steel"
Everyone was incorrect on FJ as Brayden missed a wagering clue for the first time. He dropped $8,600 to win with $27,800 for a three-day total of $93,800.
Triple Stumper of the day: No one could complete the podcast title about the "mysterious desert town...where every conspiracy is true", "Welcome to Night Vale".
Splitting the uprights: To the great relief of gridiron fans everywhere, a clue about the point value of a field goal in football was not a stand-and-stare.
Correct Qs: DD1 - Who was Steinbeck? DD2 - What is B&O? DD3 - What is Stonehenge? FJ - Who was Cyrano de Bergerac?
