J! round categories:
THE REALLY OLD COLLEGE TRY
IT BORDER TENNESSEE
3-LETTER WORDS
NONFICTION
LIQUIDS
SPORTS SIBLINGS
I was cheering for Geoff, until the following SPORTS SIBLINGS $600 clue (Formula 1's Michael & Ralf). I assume this taped before Michael's recent ski accident, but still...
Scores at the first break:
Sarah $2,400 (4 right 1 wrong)
Geoff $2,400 (7 right 1 wrong)
Jen $800 (2 right)
Apparently Jen's boyfriend writes for DC comics and has created a character about her!
Back to the game, the first Daily Double went Jen's way, under NONFICTION $800!
Scores:
Sarah $4,200
Geoff $2,400
Jen $1,400
Jen bet all $1,400. Her clue: It's the rhyming title of the book about "how a gang of fame-obsessed teens ripped off Hollywood". Her correct response put her at $2,800!
At the end of the J! round, the scores were:
Geoff $5,400 (13 right, 2 wrong)
Sarah $5,200 (8 right, 1 wrong)
Jen $3,600 (5 right)
DJ! round category:
THE MAYO CLINIC SAYS...
BATTLE NATIONS
SPECIAL 2 Ks
MARKS
ANGELS
GUYS, CAPITALISM WORKS!
Geoff got 5 of the first 6 clues in the Double Jeopardy round to go out to a commanding lead! Once he finished Capitalism, he prefered MAYO CLINIC, whereas Sarah preferred 2Ks. MAYO CLINIC $1600 had the first Daily Double, and it was Geoff's!
Scores:
Geoff $12,600
Sarah $6,400
Jen $1,200
Geoff bet $2,500. Clue: "You can get it through kissing, but you can also be exposed through a cough or sneeze". His correct response put him at $15,100.
Geoff still had the best luck on the buzzer but Sarah was able to keep him within striking distance! However, Geoff got the final Daily Double under ANGELS $1600 (with 4 clues left to play). Scores:
Geoff $19,900
Sarah $12,000
Jen $1,600
Geoff bet $3,000. His clue: Luke I says "The angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee named" this, to visit Mary. His correct response put him at $22,900!
The last 4 clues went by quickly, and the scores going into Final sat at:
Geoff $24,500 (17 right, 1 wrong)
Sarah $13,200 (7 right)
Jen $1,600 (1 right, 2 wrong)
FJ! category: AMERICAN THEATER
FJ! clue: This 1949 drama that ends with a requiem asks "Why did you do it? I search & search & I search, and I can't understand it"
Jen 1600 + 1599 = 3199
Sarah 13200 + 9999 = 23199
Geoff 24500 - 2500 = 22000
This was the best betting we've seen from Sarah and it wins her her 4th game!

I realize this is taped, but not-so-great timing by Jeopardy to bring up Michael Schumacher as an answer. #coma#getwellsoon
