Jeopardy!
IT WAS THE '60s, MAN // TO THE BALLET! // FAIR & SQUARE // IN THE FRUIT BASKET // ROLE WITH THE PUNCHES // ____ & ____
DD1 - $600 - IT WAS THE '60s, MAN - In 1965 it became a criminal offense to burn, destroy or mutilate one of these (Josh lost $3,200 on a true DD.)
Scores at first break: Adriana $2,600, Amy $2,000, Josh $0.
Scores entering DJ: Adriana $4,000, Amy $5,400, Josh $1,000.
Double Jeopardy!
THE HILL YOU SAY // SCIENCE-Y BOOKS // DID YOU STUDY THE "J" ARCHIVE? // NOTABLE BLACK AMERICANS // PRODUCER TAGS // STARTS WITH A COLOR
DD2 - $2,000 - SCIENCE-Y BOOKS - A 19th c. word for a psychiatrist is the title of this Caleb Carr novel in which Dr. Laszlo Kreizler investigates a murder (Adriana dropped $2,000 from her leading score of $14,000.)
DD3 - $1,200 - NOTABLE BLACK AMERICANS - In 1936 he became the first male African-Am. athlete with a sponsorship when Adolf Dassler convinced him to wear his shoes (From a distant third place, Josh added $2,000 to his total of $4,200.)
Adriana ran the "J" ARCHIVE category early in DJ to build a substantial lead, then Josh suddenly caught fire in the latter part of the round to make it close. Going into FJ it was Adriana with $14,400, Josh at $12,200 and Amy with $6,200. Note that if Josh had bet it all on DD3 and the game played out the exact same way, there would have been a tie for first going into FJ.
