Jeopardy! 

IT STANDS TO TREASON // SECOND LETTER "M" // BUILDING, AMERICA // IN THE MOOD FOR FOOD // NFL CONNECTIONS // LITERATURE

DD1 - $600 - IT STANDS TO TREASON - This future world leader was on trial for treason from 1956 to 1961; he'd be acquitted but was soon jailed anyway (Zoe lost $2,400 on a true DD.)

Scores at first break: Eamonn $4,600, Rishabh $200, Zoe $600.

Scores entering DJ: Eamonn $6,600, Rishabh $3,400, Zoe $600.

Double Jeopardy! 

DUBLINERS: THEY WRITE, THEY PERFORM // MATH PROBLEMS // "EZ" ON THE MAP // AGRICULTURAL HISTORY // HARD 9-LETTER WORDS // TALKING HEADS

DD2 (video) - $1,200 - "EZ" ON THE MAP - The southern portion of this inlet between Baja & mainland Mexico can reach a depth of 10,000 feet (Rishabh doubled to $10,000.)

DD3 - $2,000 - AGRICULTURAL HISTORY - This 13-letter process wasn't just for wild animals; it changed plants as well to suit human needs (Zoe nearly doubled to $6,700, moving to a closer third place.)

Rishabh doubled on DD2 and Zoe nearly doubled on DD3, and they were one-two into FJ at $15,600 and $11,100, while Eamonn was third with $9,800.

Final Jeopardy!

PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATION ACCEPTANCE SPEECHES - He talked of a “new Attorney General” 4 times, the end of a “long dark night for America” & “a gentle Quaker mother”

Rishabh and Zoe were correct on FJ, with Rishabh adding $6,601 to win with $22,201.

Final scores: Eamonn $0, Rishabh $22,201, Zoe $19,601.

Triple Stumper of the day: No one knew the Dubliner who wrote the play "Saint Joan" is George Bernard Shaw.

Wagering strategy: Eamonn chose to bet it all from a fairly close third place in FJ, forcing himself to be correct to have a chance to win, rather than go small and hope for both opponents to miss.

Correct Qs: DD1 - Who was Nelson Mandela? DD2 - What is Sea of Cortez? DD3 - What is domestication? FJ - Who was Nixon?
