This day in shilling: There was a category about Bon Jovi, presented by Bon Jovi and leading up to a plug for a Bon Jovi documentary that helped result in two leftovers in DJ. The category included a 49-word clue that was essentially, "Identify photos of Frank Sinatra".

Tough category of the day: The players missed three in the RHYME TIME category, which marks the third consecutive game with a category looking for rhymes.

Correct Qs: DD1 - What is Massachusetts? DD2 - What is "Marathon Man"? DD3 - What is NFL Players Union? FJ - Who were Schindler and Shakespeare?
