DD2 - $2,000 - THE FRENCH MASTERS - In 1838 Eugene Delacroix painted a double portrait of Chopin at the piano while this lover sat to his right (Mark added $3,000 to his score of $10,800 vs. $13,000 for Gino.)

Gino entered DJ in third place but got off to a quick start to take the lead, then Mark scored on both DDs in the round to regain first into FJ at $21,200 vs. $17,400 for Gino and $4,600 for Andrew.


Final Jeopardy!


WORLD FLAGS - The 12 stars on its flag symbolize perfection, not geographic or political units


Everyone was incorrect on FJ. Gino chose to bet it all, so Mark was able to hold on, dropping $13,601 to win with $7,599 for a three-day total of $58,000. Gino's bet size not only cost him the game, but dropped him to third for the smallest consolation prize.


Final scores: Mark $7,599, Andrew $4,183, Gino $0.
