Jeopardy! 

"O" SAY // CAN YOU SEE? // PREPOSITIONAL BOOK TITLES // BIRDPLAY // SPORTS VENUES // PRANKS

DD1 - $1,000 - PREPOSITIONAL BOOK TITLES - Virginia Woolf used stream of consciousness in this novel about the Ramsay family vacationing on the Isle of Skye (Jonah added $3,000 to his leading score of $4,800.)

Scores at first break: Allison -$400, Jonah $9,000, Will $1,400.

Scores entering DJ: Allison $1,200, Jonah $10,400, Will $4,000.

Double Jeopardy! 

THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE // BUSINESS NAMES // SINGERS ON FILM // WORLD HISTORY // ART & ARTISTS // TALKING HOT & COLD

DD2 - $2,000 - TALKING HOT & COLD - This military policy is described as a tactic in which you destroy everything that an enemy can use to wage war (Allison doubled to $9,600 into a tie for second with Jonah.)

DD3 - $800 - BUSINESS NAMES - It was the last name of brothers Andre & Edouard, who began manufacturing tires for bicycles & automobiles in the 1890s (Allison fell to third by losing $6,000 from her total of $12,000 vs. $15,600 for Will.)

In a tight game, DD3 remained on the board with only one non-top-row clue remaining. Will had control and for some reason chose a $400 clue, so DD3 fell to Allison, who missed it and dropped to third while the lead remained with Will into FJ at $16,000 vs. $12,800 for Jonah and $6,000 for Allison.

Final Jeopardy!

20th CENTURY BOOKS - A review said this 1966 book about real events “will cause a good deal of myopic squabbling about just what a novel is”

Final scores: Allison $0, Jonah $25,600, Will $25,601.

That's before their time: No one knew the cosmetics brand founded in the early 60s and associated with pink Cadillacs is Mary Kay, or the 1985 film  with a free-spirited title character played by Madonna is "Desperately Seeking Susan".

Correct Qs: DD1 - What is "To the Lighthouse"? DD2 - What is scorched-earth? DD3 - What is Michelin? FJ - What is "In Cold Blood"?
