Jeopardy!
STARS IN THE MAKING // A-TATTOOED // STATUES & STATUTES // WON'T YOU BE MY NEIGHBOR? // AWARDS & HONORS // SOUNDS LIKE A ROMAN NUMBERAL QUANTITY
DD1 - $1,000 - A-TATTOOED - The title of a Tennessee Williams play alludes to this, tattooed on the chest of a character's deceased husband (Alan lost $3,000 from his score of $4,400.)
Scores at first break: Drew $3,400, Staci $3,600, Alan $400.
Scores entering DJ: Drew $3,600, Staci $5,800, Alan $1,000.
Double Jeopardy!
LITERARY BADDIES // WE PUT IT IN SPACE // BRITISH TELEVISION // LAMB CHOPS // KINGDOM // COME
DD2 - $2,000 - WE PUT IT IN SPACE - In 2022 this new telescope captured an image of Maisie's Galaxy, formed just 390 million years after the Big Bang (With $600, Alan added $2,000.)
DD3 - $1,600 - KINGDOM - The unification of Italy put an end to the kingdom of the two Sicilies, actually Sicily & a kingdom named for this mainland city (Drew added $3,000 to his total of $4,800.)
No one really got rolling until Drew took first place on DD3 and kept the advantage into FJ at $11,800 vs. $7,800 for Alan and $7,400 for Staci.
Final Jeopardy!
NATIONAL MONUMENTS - From its ramparts, you can see the mouth of the Patapsco River as it flows into Chesapeake Bay
Drew and Alan were correct on FJ. Drew added $3,801 to win with $15,601 for a five-day total of $91,283.
Final scores: Drew $15,600, Staci $2,999, Alan $14,801.
Judging the judges: For a clue that was explicitly looking for "this villainous alter ego", after Drew said "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde", Ken was all set to rule him incorrect, but for some reason the judges accepted it.
Correct Qs: DD1 - What is a rose ("The Rose Tattoo")? DD2 - What is James Webb Space Telescope? DD3 - What is Naples? FJ - What is Fort McHenry?
