Andy here with a picture-free recap of Tuesday!
Today's players are Anna Lawrence, Ed Patterson, and Ben-Hur Flores, who won $20,000 yesterday. Let's see if he bets any better today!

WORLD CAPITAL MUSEUMS
YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK
HODGEPODGE
THAT NBC SHOW WAS FUNNY
TO THE STARS & BEYOND
SOUNDS LIKE A LANGUAGE
Ben-Hur got confused on SOUNDS LIKE A LANGUAGE to start, saying "French" instead of "Wrench"; but he got it turned around! After 15, we had a close game! Scores:
Ben-Hur $2,200
Ed $2,200
Anna $2,000
Anna was part of a 6-member team running a 100 mile relay race in Vermont! Ed was in the Army for awhile, graduating from Airborne and Ranger schools; Ed says the Army Ranger course is tougher, and claims "Internet backlash" is coming. Ben-Hur once got a "what tree are you" question with "oak tree", because they have "sturdy and strong branches with which I could beat you with"; he didn't get the job!
It took a long time for the Daily Double to come out! It was Ed's to play, under YELLOWSTONE $800! Scores:
Anna $5,400
Ben-Hur $2,600
Ed $2,400
Ed bet just $1,400. His clue: These largest North American land mammals seem mellow but cause more injuries to humans in the park than bears do. His correct response put him at $3,800!
By the end of the round, the scores sat at:
Anna $6,200
Ben-Hur $4,200
Ed $3,800

FAMILIAR PHRASES
THEY CAME FROM HAWAII
LET'S GO TO ALASKA
Ben-Hur did well in ON THE BOOKSHELF, going into the lead briefly! He went hunting for a Daily Double, briefly, in ALASKA, but came up empty. Ed went and got the first four in MOVIE TITLE REFERENCES. Number 5 had the Daily Double, and the $4,000 he got that shot him into the lead by the time he got to bet on it! Scores:
Ed $9,400
Anna $7,400
Ben-Hur $7,000
Ed bet $2,000. Seriously? YOU JUST GOT THE FIRST FOUR. His clue: 1944: A clause in a life insurance policy. His correct response put him at $11,400. He's left a ton of money on the table!
As it turns out, Ben-Hur stopped hunting in ALASKA one clue short! When he went back there, under $1600, the final Daily Double was waiting for him! Scores:
Ed $14,600
Anna $8,600
Ben-Hur $8,200
Ben-Hur bet just $1,800. His clue: This Western peninsula is home to the world's largest maar, or volcanic crater lake. He had no answer and fell to $6,400.
By the end of the round, Ed did not have a lock game! Scores going into Final:
Ed $17,800
Anna $14,200
Ben-Hur $6,400
I can't help but think that Ed's lead should have been bigger, though...
FJ! category: U.S. GOVERNMENT PEOPLE
FJ! clue: A committee chaired by the official in this job released the influential 1964 report "Smoking and Health"
I wonder if they would have accepted "Life Alert Spokesperson"...
Ben-Hur 6400 + 6000 = 12400
Anna 14200 + 5800 = 20000
Ed 17800 + 10600 = 28400
We've had a lot of betting for the tie recently! Ed's the champion, though, and he'll be back tomorrow!
