Introducing today's contestants:
- Abigail, a college administrator, was part of the "Jeopardy! wannabes";
- Tom, a real estate agent, made use of karate belts during a roofing job; and
- Mattea, a tutor, is leading the return of Canadians to the Jeopardy! stage. Mattea is a three-day champ with winnings of $80,400.
Jeopardy!
TELEVISION // MULTIPLE MEANINGS // POTPOURRI // PULITZER-WINNING CHARACTERS // BEAN THERE // DONE THAT
DD1 - $800 - PULITZER-WINNING CHARACTERS - Aaronow & Moss, real estate salesmen (1984) (Abigail lost $1,600 on a true DD.)
Scores going into DJ: Mattea $7,400, Tom $200, Abigail $0.
Double Jeopardy!
AIN'T NO CENTURY LIKE THE 17th CENTURY // WHAT KIND OF PLACE IS THIS? // NORSE MYTHOLOGY // WRITING--IT'S A LIVING // R&B MUSIC // "EM"POWER
DD2 - $1,200 - WHAT KIND OF PLACE IS THIS? - Smaller than it sounds, this Illinois place was designated "Home of Superman" in 1972 (With a $12K lead, Mattea lost $2,000 and down to $10,200.)
DD3 - $1,600 - WRITING--IT'S A LIVING - Screenwriters, you could do worse than to follow script guru Syd Field's checkpoint No. 4--"All drama is" this type of struggle (Tom lost $3,000 on a true DD.)
Scores going into FJ: Mattea $22,200, Tom $400, Abigail $3,600.
Final Jeopardy!
19TH CENTURY LITERATURE - The Strand Union Workhouse, whose rules prohibited second helpings of food, inspired a setting in this 1838 novel
Everyone was correct on FJ. Mattea wagered just $2,000 to win with $24,200 for a four-day total of $104,600 and is in strong position to qualify for the ToC.
Odds and ends
Triple Stumper of the day: No one recognized a photo of "Yellowjackets" star Juliette Lewis.
One more thing: They were 15 clues into DJ before either of Mattea's opponents got through on the signaling device for that round.
Correct Qs: DD1 - What is "Glengarry Glen Ross"? DD2 - What is Metropolis? DD3 - What is conflict? FJ - What is "Oliver Twist"?
