Powered by 1&1 Internet

Players this week are guaranteed $10,000.

JEOPARDY! ROUND: Real Names on the Marquis, Government & Politics, What's Her Sport, Flags, The King James Bible Sayeth, Words That Use All 5 Vowels.

Emma scored the highest on her qualifier, so she goes first with $800 Words That Use All 5 Vowels. Kyle finds the Daily Double under $600 Flags. He has $1800, $1000 more than Emma's $800. He's going for it on this: the diamond shape on its flag references the fact that it was the only diamond-producing US state. "What is West Virginia?" No, it's Arkansas, dropping him to zero. He recovers to $4600 to $3200 for Emma. Dhruv is stalled at the gate with zero, giving him the first pick in...

DOUBLE JEOPARDY!: Non Compose Mentis, Math Guys, A Generic Title, Expressions & Idioms, True Story, "DM" Me.

... with the Daily Double under $1600 Math Guys. He still has nothing, so he goes for $2000 on this: the subject of a 2001 film, this mathematician won a 1994 Nobel Prize for Economics. "Who is... Friedman?" No, it wasn't the producer, it was another beautiful mind, John Nash, dropping him to -$2000. Kyle finds the other under $800 A Generic Title on $6200, half of Emma's score. He's going for it on this: it's a sequence, it's a genre (C-Note: Alex Jacob to the white courtesy phone), it's a podcast hosted by Sarah Koenig. "What is 'Serial'?" FOR THE TYING DOUBLER, $12,400! He ends up with $14,800 to Emma's $19,200. Dhruv is all but out of it with $2000.

And now it's time for... BOOK SAYS SO! We go to our friends at J-Archive to figure out the ultimate betting strategy for each player.

- Dhruv wins if... he bets everything and is the only one correct, while the other two bet against each other and Emma does something really egregious. She will not do anything really egregious.
- Kyle wins if... he bets $6000 and is correct, while Emma bets and is wrong or bets nothing either way.
- Emma wins if... she bets $10,401 and is correct (but no more than $15,199).

FINAL JEOPARDY! in "Famous Phrases": In the title of a groundbreaking 1890 expose of poverty in New York City slums, these 3 words follow "How the". Correct response: what is "Other Half Lives"?

Dhruv... well, you have to see this for yourself. It's a moment that goes beyond the game...



Kyle is right to go to $19,201 on a venusian wager. Emma goes all-out to win the first spot in the final.

FINALIST: Emma Boettcher

And one-half of the nightmare scenario for whoever wins Wednesday is already complete.

Today, America Says celebrates Veterans Day with a team of all-veterans up against a team of all-teachers.

ROUND 1
- Military Veterans: Whoa! I found 50 bucks in my pocket! I'm treating myself to a (BOW, H, M, M, P, P, S). They get a massage & pizza. The Terrific Teachers get a bottle of wine and a haircut. No one gets a pedicure, steak, or a movie.
- Terrific Teachers: When my dog's tail wags in its sleep, it's probably dreaming about (B, C, F, M, R, RITC, S). They dream of bones, cats, me, food, and squirrels. The Veterans clear the board wtih riding in the car and running for 400 to 700 for the teachers.

ROUND 2
- Military Veterans: You mught not be knkown by your real name if you're a (A, A, C, R, S, S, W). They go with superhero, criminal, actor, and spy. The teachers clear out with wrestler, author, and rapper.

ROUND 3
- Terrific Teachers: My favorite Billy is Billy (BT, C, DW, I, J, M, TK). They like the Kid, Idol, Joel, Dee Williams, Bob Thornton and Madison for 1800, 4300 total. The Veterans round out with Crystal for 1500.
- Military Veterans (need to sweep): You need a (B, D, M, M, P, S, U) if you're going to be a TV weatherman. They get umbrella, mic, suoit, and no more. The others: degree, barometer, pointer, and map to win it for the Terrific TEachers, 4300-2100.

Back to Q2, where they needed candles.

ROUND 1: We start with a 4 for Mike, a 9 for Lauren & a 4 for Bob. Bob keeps a 5 for 9, passes a 9 to Mike for 13, and takes a queen to freeze on 19. Mike takes a 7 and freezes on 20.
- LAUREN'S draw: 10 (19) - 5 (BUST). Mike wins!

ROUND 2: Board goes 3 for Mike, 8 for Lauren, and a king for Bob. Bob takes a jack and freezes on 20. Mike keeps an ace for soft 14, a 2 for soft 16, gets a 6 from Lauren for hard 12 and a seven for five-card Charlie and hard 19. Mike passes a 10 to Lauren for 18. Lauren passes an ace for hard 20. Mike passes a queen to bust Lauren out of the game.
- MIKE's draw: J (BUST). Bob wins!

FINAL HAND: Mike gets a king to Bob's 2. Mike passes a 4 to Bob for 6. Bob keeps a 9 for 15 and passes a 7 for 17... and a 10 to bust him out. Bob wins!

BONUS CATCH 21 with 2 Power Chips.
- HAND #1: A - Q = BJ ($2500)
- HAND #2: J - 5 - 2 = 17
- HAND #3: K - 7 = 17
POWER CHIPPED: 3, 7

And that's where he stops for $2500. Next card out of the shoe was... an Ace, followed by... a 5.

Last week, the frustration between the competition and Sean Spicer became almost infallibly palpable, as Kate Flannery & Pasha Pashkov were eliminated, leaving the final six to dance again.

Tonight is Boy Bands & Girl Groups Night, with each couple dancing TWICE. The first round is Girl Groups with guest judge Emma Bunton of the Spice Girls (and also cohost of "The Great American Baking Show"). The second round is Boy Bands with guest judge Joey Fatone of Nsync (and also host of "Common Knowledge". See a pattern here, friends?). The combined score will factor half into the elimination. The other is the audience vote. Y'all know this now.

... and I'm getting a breaking news item in my earpiece - Emma had a last second emergency, so it'll be all Joey all night.

GIRL GROUP LINEUP (along with scores from Carrie Ann/Len/Joey/Bruno)
- James van der Beek & Emma Slater - JIVE to "I'm So Excited" by The Pointer Sisters - 9/9/9/9 - 36 out of a possible 40
- Sean Spicer & Jenna Johnson (again, in for an in absentia Lindsay Arnold) - ARGENTINE TANGO to "Bills Bills Bills" by Destiny's Child - 7/6/7/6 - 26
- Hannah Brown & Alan Bersten - SALSA to "No Scrubs" by TLC - 8/8/8/8 - 32
- Ally Brooke & Sasha Farber - SAMBA to "Wannabe" by the Spice Girls - 10/10/10/10 - PERFECT 40!
- Lauren Alaina & Gleb Savchenko - QUICKSTEP to "Can't Hurry Love" by the Supremes - 9/9/8/8 - 34
- Kel Mitchell & Witney Carson - PASO DOBLE to "Free Your Mind" by En Vogue - 8/8/9/9 - 34

So after all that, Ally & Sasha are in front with 40, log jam in the middle of 36s & 34s, and Sean & Jenna have a 26.

BOY BAND LINEUP (along with scores from Carrie Ann/Len/Joey/Bruno)
- James & Emma - JAZZ to "Bye Bye Bye" by Nsync - 9/8/10/9 - 36. Because Joey freaking Fatone.
- Hannah & Alan - TANGO to "Boy with Luv" by BTS featuring Halsey - 10/9/10/10 - 39
- Sean & Jenna - FOXTROT to "Story of My Life" by OneDirection - 6/6/6/6 - 24
