DD1 - $800 - SMALL MAMMALS - This spiny creature is native to England, where people love tight rows of bushes in their gardens (David won $1,800 on a true DD.)
Scores going into DJ: Michael $6,000, Sue $200, David $9,400.
Double Jeopardy!
HISTORIC NICKNAMES // WRITING IMPLEMENTS // MOUNTAIN WORLD // POP MUSIC // SHAKESPEARE'S KINGS & QUEENS// "S" WORDS
DD2 - $1,600 - WRITING IMPLEMENTS - A line of fountain pens from this French brand was inspired by the glacier on its namesake mountain (Michael lost $2,000 from his total of $7,600 vs. $9,800 for David.)

Early in DJ, Michael missed DD2 while David was correct on DD3 to extend his lead, and he went on to score a runaway at $21,800 vs. $8,400 for Michael and $1,400 for Sue.
Final Jeopardy!
MAGAZINES - A now annual issue of this magazine was inspired by the high-society parties of Caroline Astor, whose ballroom fit about 400 people
Everyone was incorrect on FJ. Fortunately for David, he bet $0 to win with $21,800. Between the three players, there was a total of $2 bet on FJ.
Odds and ends
Triple Stumper of the day: No one recognized a photo of Elliott Gould.
Judging the judges: Surprised that Michael wasn't asked to give a bit more on DD2 before being ruled incorrect.
Correct Qs: DD1 - What is hedgehog? DD2 - What is Montblanc? (Michael said just "Blanc".) DD3 - Who was Woodrow Wilson? FJ - What is Forbes?
