Jeopardy!
WORLD GEOGRAPHY // THE MOVIES // INVENTORS & INVENTIONS // KID LIT EN ESPAÑOL // THE MYTH BEHIND THE ZODIAC SIGN // IT STARTS WITH "ME"
DD1 - $1,000 - KID LIT EN ESPAÑOL - "Nublado con proegabilidades de albóndigas" (Scott improved by $3,000 to $10,000.)
Scores at first break: Scott $10,000, Sarah -$400, Senay -$600.

Double Jeopardy!
CLASSICAL MUSIC // REALITY TV // GEOGRAPHIC LITERARY TITLES // WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO NOW? // I'M BORED // A SENSE OF HENRI
DD2 - $1,600 - I'M BORED - A word meaning boring gave us this name for a boring burg that we can't find in our atlas (With $3,800, Sarah dropped to $0 on a true DD.)
DD3 - $2,000 - A SENSE OF HENRI - This Florence-born woman, a major force in 16th c. Europe, was the wife of French King Henri II & the mother of Henri III (With a lead of nearly $20K, Scott lost $5,000 down to $16,400.)
Scott had $10K while both opponents were still in the red, slipped up on DD3 but still was never seriously challenged, entering FJ at $20,400 vs. $7,600 for Sarah and $1,800 for Senay.
Final Jeopardy!
THEORIES - A version of this theoretical economic process was "horse and sparrow" - if you fed the horse enough oats, the sparrows fed afterwards
Scott and Sarah were correct on FJ, with Scott adding $3,690 to win with $24,090 for a 16-day total of $455,000.
Final scores: Scott $24,090, Sarah $7,600, Senay $0.
Triple Stumper of the day: For a top-row clue, no one recalled the Paris Hilton-Nicole Richie series that was one of the first big reality shows, "The Simple Life".
