Double Jeopardy!
PUT IT IN THE LOUVRE! // TELEVISION // GETTING TERRITORIAL // NAMES IN AMERICAN HISTORY // BUSINESS ANNIVERSARIES // 3 CONSECUTIVE CONSONANTS
DD2 - $2,000 - GETTING TERRITORIAL - This territory's Winston Churchill Ave. runs to its northern border; the Carretera de la Frontera is on the other side (Ferdinand added $5,000 to his leading total of $9,400.)
DD3 - $1,600 - PUT IT IN THE LOUVRE! - A fresco featuring Venus by this 15th century Italian -- not the only time he painted her -- was rediscovered in 1873 (Ferdinand added $4,000 to his score of $13,200.)
Ferdinand and Amy were close until Ferdinand was correct on both DDs in DJ, and he continued to lead into FJ at $21,600 vs. $13,800 for Amy and $800 for Kirsten.
Final Jeopardy!
NICKNAMES - Surfing legend Duke Kahanamoku has been called this 2-word name that describes any dominant person or expert
Amy and Kirsten were correct on FJ, with Amy nearly doubling to win with $27,599 for a four-day total of $85,794.
Final scores: Amy $27,599, Ferdinand $13,799, Kirsten $1,600.
Ken's Korner: After all three players missed a clue early in the game, Ken said there's "no real penalty". That makes just as little sense as "no harm no foul". Last time I checked, if all three players miss it, they don't give them all their money back.
Correct Qs: DD1 - What is "The Red Badge of Courage"? DD2 - What is Gibraltar? DD3 - Who was Botticelli? FJ - What is Big Kahuna?
