Jeopardy! 

A LITTLE DAY MUSIC // 18th CENTURY HISTORY // MAKE IT SINGULAR // TRANSPORT USA // LET'S HEAR IT FOR ANIMAL MOMS // JUST DOIN' MY JOB

DD1 - $800 - 18th CENTURY HISTORY - This North American colonial empire seen on 16th century maps as Gallia Nova ended with the fall of Quebec & Montreal (Mark lost $1,000.)

Scores entering DJ: Mark $200, Eamonn $3,000, Dot $3,200.

Double Jeopardy! 

RUSSIAN GEOGRAPHY // TV CHARACTERS // TERRITORIAL GOVERNORS // I'M HIM // WOMEN AUTHORS // STARTS & ENDS WITH "T"

DD2 - $1,200 - WOMEN AUTHORS - You can breathe easier knowing that Terry McMillan wrote a sequel to this novel called "Getting to Happy" (Mark lost $5,800 on a true DD.)

DD3 - $1,600 - TERRITORIAL GOVERNORS - Frank Franz served as an Indian agent of the Osage Agency before becoming this territory's last governor in 1906 (Mark moved into second by doubling to $5,600 vs. $9,400 for Eamonn.)

Mark entered DJ in third place, quickly moved to first but lost it all on DD2 and never fully recovered, as Eamonn led into FJ at $12,200 vs. $10,400 for Dot and $4,800 for Mark.

Final Jeopardy!

WORLD POLITICAL HISTORY - William Whitelaw & John Peyton were also-rans in a 1975 leadership vote with this victor

Only Eamonn was correct on FJ, adding $1,500 to win with $13,700.

Final scores: Mark $4,800, Eamonn $13,700, Dot $9,801.

Wagering strategy: Eamonn's small bet forced Dot to be correct on FJ to have any chance to beat him. However, with a wager of $1,000 or less, Eamonn could have shut out both Mark and Dot since she made a bet small enough to lock out Mark (Dot could have bet up to $799 for the lockout wager).

Triple Stumper of the day: No one knew the "eer" word that notably describes Fletcher Christian is mutineer.

Correct Qs: DD1 - What is New France? DD2 - What is "Waiting to Exhale"? DD3 - What is Oklahoma? FJ - Who was Margaret Thatcher?
