Here are today's contestants:
- Joanne, a nursing assistant, took a plane trip for the first time since she was four;
- Erin, an attorney, volunteered after Hurricane Katrina; and

Jeopardy! round

DD1 - $800 - U2 - Moses' mom put him in an ark made of this plant (Erin lost $1,200 on a true DD.)

Double Jeopardy!
THE CRUSADES // BODIES OF WATER // SCI. ABBR. // SPICE UP YOUR LIFE // FROM TV TO FILM // THE YEAR OF BEFORE & AFTER
DD2 - $1,600 - THE YEAR OF BEFORE & AFTER - William Henry Harrison wins an election; a short nap ensues (Amy won $4,000 from her total of $11,800 vs. $3,000 for Joanne.)
DD3 - $1,600 - SCI. ABBR. - They are in power across the pond & elsewhere: BTU(Amy won $5,000 from her score of $21,400 vs. $3,800 for Joanne.)
Amy broke the game wide open by sweeping a wordplay category early in DJ and kept climbing from there, entering FJ with $37,600 vs. $4,200 for Joanne and $800 for Erin.
Final Jeopardy!
U.S. MUSEUMS - Named for a benefactor, it was established in 1893 to house artifacts from the nearby World’s Columbian Exposition
Only Joanne was correct on FJ. Amy dropped a big $25,000 to win with $12,600 for a 39-day total of $1,319,800. Amy is now in sole possession of the second-longest winning streak in the show's history.
Odds and Ends
Triple Stumper of the day: Despite a mention of the Sunshine State in the clue, Amy and Joanne thought Crockett and Tubbs hung out much further to the west, as they guessed their show was "Hawaii Five-0" and "The Beverly Hillbillies" rather than "Miami Vice".
Correct Qs: DD1 - What are bulrushes? DD2 - What is 1840 winks? DD3 - What are British Thermal Units? FJ - What is the Field Museum?
