TOUCHDOWNS
CONVERSIONS
I enjoyed TOUCHDOWNS (much like I enjoy most sports categories). Brad got off to the best start over the first segment. At the first commercial break, the scores were:
Brad $3,400
Julia $800
Zia $600
Brad has hiked the entire 2,178 miles of the Appalachian Trail! Julia apparently ran into Ken Jennings in Chicago once; her friend embarrassed her! Meanwhile, Alex said Brad was from North, not South Carolina! He corrected himself next break!
Coming out of the break, CONVERSIONS $600 was the first clue selected -- by Julia -- and it had the Daily Double!
Julia bet just $700. Her clue: A 4th C. statue of him & a cross read, "By this saving sign I have...restored liberty to the Senate and people of Rome". Julia hesitantly gave the correct response and her score went to $1,500!
I was actually shocked that TECH EDUCATION had products that weren't Sony!
Meanwhile, Brad managed to keep his advantage over Julia over the remainder of the round! Scores after 30:
Brad $6,000
Julia $3,900
Zia $1,800

LITERARY TITLE FIRST NAMES was a tough category! Julia made a common mistake on the $2,000 clue (Mr. Shandy); she left out the R!
THE MAN OF THE HOUSE (a Congressman category) $1200 had the first Daily Double; Brad got to play it!
Scores:
Brad $10,400
Julia $5,100
Zia $3,400
Brad bet $2,000. His clue: Tom Cole & Markwayne Mullin, the only Native Americans in Congress, are from this state's "five civilized tribes". Brad went for South Dakota and fell to $8,400.
Meanwhile, I'm sure that Jeanie is very disappointed that Adrian Smith didn't come up at all in that category!
BEFORE & AFTER $1600 had the final Daily Double! Brad's to play again, the scores were:
Brad $9,200
Zia $7,000
Julia $5,500
Brad bet $1,000. His clue: Morning phone reminder from the front desk that's on the spine of a library book. Brad went for "wake-up calling card" and he fell to $8,200.
Meanwhile, Julia got a number of clues on the way into the clubhouse to take the lead going into Final!
Scores going into Final:
Julia $12,300
Zia $8,200
Brad $7,800
