Please welcome today's contestants:
- Manisha, an attorney, "missed nothing" when she couldn't see David Sedaris;
- Molly, a college student, has a prized Stevie Wonder album; and
- Brayden, a policy intern, has a coin collection. Brayden is a five-day champ with winnings of $115,798.
Brayden never really got rolling here, but did manage to stay alive into FJ with the help of Manisha's miss on DD3. Going into FJ it was $10,000 for Manisha, Brayden at $6,400 and $3,800 for Molly.
DD1 - $800 - A REAL PRIZE - 300,000 euros go to the winner of the LVMH prize for someone under the age of 40 in this profession with at least 2 collections (Brayden lost $1,600 on a true DD.)
DD2 - $2,000 - OF THE LAW - 6 weeks after the U.S. entered WWI came the act known by this alliterative phrase requiring men to register to join the military (Brayden moved into a tie for first with Manisha by doubling up to $5,600.)
DD3 - $800 - FICTIONAL SCHOOLS - Chamberlain, Maine's Thomas Ewen Consolidated High School hosts a memorable prom in this 1974 novel (Manisha lost $4,000 from her score of $11,600 vs. $3,600 for Brayden.)
FJ - STATE NAME ORIGINS - The names of these 2 states honor a king & his father, who was executed in 1649
For the second time this week, everyone was incorrect on FJ. Manisha dropped $2,900 to win with $7,100.
Musical miscues: No one knew the performer of the 2002 no. 1 hit "A Moment Like This" is Kelly Clarkson, or the non-"ly" adverb that's the first word of a 1965 Beatles classic, "Yesterday".
Correct Qs: DD1 - What is fashion designer? DD2 - What is Selective Service? DD3 - What is "Carrie"? FJ - What are North and South Carolina?
