Jeopardy! 


FRIENDS OF JOHN BROWN // THE TV SHOW IN QUESTION // DIRECTIONS TO THE LANDMARK // MY CHERRY AMOUR // ALSO FOUND IN THE BATHROOM // COMPOUND WORDS


DD1 - $1,000 - MY CHERRY AMOUR - As this 1904 play opens, Mrs. Ranevsky & her daughter Anya arrive home from Paris (Derek dropped into second after losing $3,400 from his score of $6,400.)


Scores at first break: Greg $3,800, Derek $3,000, Adrienne $1,000.


Scores entering DJ: Greg $5,800, Derek $3,400, Adrienne $1,800.


Double Jeopardy! 


YOU HAVE A SERIOUS BEATITUDE // SHADES OF BLUE // ORDINAL PHRASES // WORLD WAR II FICTION // ALL THE LIGHT WE CAN SEE // CATCH, 22


DD2 - $1,600 - ALL THE LIGHT WE CAN SEE  - Auroras happen as atoms react with electrons & protons brought to the upper atmosphere by this flux of particles from our sun (Derek added $2,000 to his total of $5,400 vs. $10,600 for Greg.)


DD3 - $1,200 - ORDINAL PHRASES - Like King Kong, the Astrodome & the Taj Mahal have been billed as this (From third place, Adrienne added $4,000 to her score of $4,600 and moved into second behind Greg with $13,800.)


Derek and Adrienne both got closer to leader Greg on DDs in DJ, but Greg had the strongest finish and secured the FJ runaway on the last clue with $24,600 vs. $12,200 for Adrienne and $10,600 for Derek.


Final Jeopardy!


COUNTRIES - This country has the most time zones in the world, including its territories in South America & off the coast of Africa


Everyone was correct on FJ. Greg stood pat to win with $24,600 for a five-day total of $135,002 and a certain invite to the ToC.


Final scores: Greg $24,600, Derek $12,201, Adrienne $21,201.


That's before their time: No one knew the 1975 comedy with Warren Beatty and Goldie Hawn that's also something found in the bathroom is "Shampoo".


Wagering strategy: In DJ, if either Derek or Adrienne had gone all-in on their DD opportunities, they would have prevented Greg from having a runaway.


Correct Qs: DD1 - What is "The Cherry Orchard"? DD2 - What is solar wind? DD3 - What is Eighth Wonder of the World? FJ - What is France?
