Double Jeopardy!
I TINKER // BRITISH GEOGRAPHY // TV TITLE TWOSOMES BY ACTORS // AUTHORS INITIALLY // MUSIC & WAR // IT ENDS WITH "US"
DD2 - $1,600 - AUTHORS INITIALLY - In 2017 this author said, "I grew up in a greaser neighborhood" but got put in high school classes with Socs (Adam added $4,000 to his total of $9,000 vs. $9,200 for Mehal.)
DD3 - $2,000 - I TINKER - By 1838 Alfred Vail & this man wired up a new communications system, but when it came to branding, ol' Al got tapped out (Mehal added $4,000 to his score of $11,600 vs. $13,400 for Adam.)
Mehal found DD3 in second position late in the game, but unlike yesterday when he went all-in, this time he made a mid-sized wager and was correct. It was enough to take the lead from Adam but not to hold it, as Adam came back into first for FJ at $16,600 vs. $14,400 for Mehal and $8,400 for Courtney.
