Hello! Andy's here with another recap! Gary Roberts and Jamey Wiglesworth are the challengers today for Lisa Byatt!
J! round categories:
AMERICAN HISTORY
INSTRUMENT-ATION
19th CENTURY SPORTS
"D" LICIOUS
HAWAIIAN CROSSWORD CLUES
WE'VE GOT YOU SURROUNDED! (Alex: You have to name the country that is surrounded by the countries we will give you in the clue.)
Gary had the best go of it early on, getting 3 in both "D" LICIOUS and HAWAIIAN CROSSWORD CLUES, and he got to play the first Daily Double on the 14th clue of the round, under AMERICAN HISTORY $800! Scores were:
Gary $3,200
Lisa $800
Jamey $-400
Gary bet $1,200. His clue: Selling out early, this prospector who gave his name to a mother lode of silver ended up broke & took his own life. His correct response put him at $4,400 and the show into the first break!
Gary kept up his strong play after the break! By the end of the round, the only category where Gary didn't have 3 correct responses was AMERICAN HISTORY (he only had 2). Lisa rebounded a little bit, but Jamey still struggled with the buzzer! The scores at the end of 30:
Gary $9,800
Lisa $2,800
Jamey $200
DJ! round categories:
KEEPING UP WITH THE JOANS
NONFICTION
MEDICAL PROCEDURES
"M.C."
ANCIENT BABYLON
MODERN BABBLING
The MEDICAL PROCEDURES category gave me the creeps! (I'm easily squeamish.)
It was Jamey who got to play the first Daily Double in this round, under "M.C." $1200. The scores were:
Gary $11,000
Lisa $4,400
Jamey $2,600
He made it a True Daily Double. His clue: It's "my bad" -- in Latin. His correct response put him at $5,200!
Moving over into ANCIENT BABYLON, Gary hit the final Daily Double under the $1600 slot, and had a commanding lead at this point. The scores:
Gary $14,200
Lisa $6,000
Jamey $6,000
Gary bet $1,200. His clue: This longest river in southwest Asia flowed through the center of ancient Babylon. Another correct response put him at $15,400!
Interesting clue (MODERN BABBLING $1600: Resigning in 2001, Canadian senator Therese Lavoie-Roux, like many politicians, said she wanted to do this "time"ly thing). Jamey said "spend time with her grandchildren" and was originally ruled incorrect. He received credit before Final Jeopardy!, though!
Scores going into Final Jeopardy! (after Jamey got credit):
Gary $20,200
Jamey $12,800
Lisa $8,800
FJ! category: NOBEL PEACE PRIZE WINNERS
FJ! clue: The winner in 1984, he likes to be called "Arch", a reference to his job
Lisa 8800 - 8799 = 1
Jamey 12800 + 7401 = 20201
Gary 20200 + 5401 = 25601
Gary's the new champ and he gets to play tomorrow! See you soon!
