Jeopardy!

Double Jeopardy!

DD2 - $1,200- NAME YOUR DAUGHTER FROM THE U.S. MAP - Greek heritage? How about this, the capital of a West Coast state (Madeline doubled to $9,600 vs. $6,400 for Matt.)


DD3 - $1,200 - EPONYMS - His name now means a prolific lover & seducer, but he kept his pants on when he talked about balloon technology with Ben Franklin (On the next clue after DD2, Madeline added $7,000 up to $16,600.)


Madeline took the lead with a double-up on DD2, and on the next clue extended it with a healthy wager on DD3. Matt made a good effort to chop into that advantage and was a close second into FJ at $15,600 vs. $18,200 for Medeline and $12,600 for Stephanie.
