SINGLE JEOPARDY!: Science Class, Welcome to Miami, A Latin Bestiary, Sounds Like Food, World of Barbie
Jill starts with $400 Welcome to Miami, finding the Daily Double under $600 Science Class. She bets it all on this...
- SCIENCE CLASS for $1800: Sedimentary deposits near Lake Superior produce the largest U.S. annual yield of hematite, the main ore of this metal.
She blanks on iron ore to go to zero. She recovers to $3400 to $6200 for Derek. Gabriel, on $2200, will get the first pick in...
DOUBLE JEOPARDY!: Honorary Harlem Globetrotters, Historical Films, Greek Geography, Renaissance Literature, Mississippi Learning, Starts with "G".
… with $2000 Starts with "D". Gabriel fidns the first Daily Double under $1600 Greek Geography. He wagers $2600 on this...
- GREEK GEOGRAPHY for $2600: The setting of plays like "Oedipus" & "Antigone", this Greek city shares its name with a capital city of ancient Egypt.
"What is Alexandria?" Not right, it was Thebes, dropping him to $2000. Jill finds the other under $800 Historical Films. She wagers $4000 on this...
- HISTORICAL FILMS for $4000: As her, Natalie Portman says, "There won't be another Camelot"
"Who is Jacqueline Kennedy?" RIGHT for $15,400! She ends with $16,200 to $8,600 for Derek. Gabriel is still in it with $4800.
This season, second place finishes will pay off $3000, while bronze medalists will take home $2000.
FINAL JEOPARDY!
- BRITISH MONARCHS: The most recent British monarch not to succeed a parent or a sibling was this ruler who succeeded an uncle.
Correct response: who was Queen Victoria?

TONIGHT'S FEATURED PRIZE
Collette European vacation of unknown destination. |
TONIGHT'S FEATURED PRIZE: Collette European vacation of unknown destination.
TOSSUP #1: ON THE MAP. Valerie solves PORTUGAL & SPAIN for $1000.
TOSSUP #2: FOOD & DRINK. Valerie goes two for two with EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL
ROUND 1: RHYME TIME. First spin of the new season... is Bankrupt. Manjula picks up the Million Dollar Wedge off of a T and solves USE IT OR LOSE IT for $1350!
Eggland's Best MYSTERY ROUND: BEFORE & AFTER. Manjula gets a $3500 S, but misses an H. Kevin hits Bankrupt on HIS first spin of the Wheel. Valerie loses a turn after buying up the vowels. Manjula hits the Mystery Wedge. Will she risk the bank AND the Million Dollar Wedge on a look? Nope. She solves ROME WASN'T BUILT IN A DAY TRIP for another $10,500, giving her $11,850 and still that important MDW.
PRIZE PUZZLE/EXPRESS ROUND: PERSON. Kevin misses a T. Valerie misses an N. Manjula spins out $3500 again... but misses an M. Kevin hits the Express with an H, but doesn't ride. HE hits it AGAIN and misses a J. Valerie buys a bad E. Manjula gets the Express off of a C. She doesn't take the ride either. Can't blame her for that. She solves A HAPPY-GO-LUCKY GUY to win $3100, which she can spend in SPAIN (Trafalgar Tours, $9238). So far, she's in the lead with $24,188 AND the Million Dollar Wedge!
TRIPLE TOSSUP: Thing
- KEvin is FINALLY on the board with THE LATEST STYLE for $2000
- ... and THE LATEST TREND for another $2000.
- Valerie spoils the sweep with YESTERDAY'S NEWS.
So far, Manjula is running away with it on $24,188. Valerie has $5000. Kevin is on $4000.
Valerie's FINAL SPIN is worth $1500 per. Manjula misfired, but Kevin solves MONOGRAMMED MUGS for another $6000. He ends up with $10,000 cash money. Valerie ends up with $5000. But Manjula with $24,188 is SPINNING FOR A MILLION.
MILLION DOLLAR BONUS WHEEL: Manjula's choices: Phrase, Fun & Games, or Thing. She goes with Fun & Games for the money.
As a reminder, the $40,000 minimum is in play, as is a Volkswagen ID.4. The $100,000 is out, the $1 million is in. If she spins it and solves it, Manjula is a millionaire. Is it in the G? We'll see. Given her category of Fun & Games, the standard package, and her picks of MCD A...
_ _ E R T _ M E
_ _ C T _ R _
She had the OVERTIME, but unfortunately the Bonus Wheel does not produce a VICTORY. But she still has $24,188 in cash and trip. The big question... did she have the money? Nope. She had $50,000.
The million dollar wedge was in **. If only Manjula skipped breakfast this morning. |

STAGE 3
- PATRIOT PASS
- STALACTITES
- SLAM DUNK

STAGE 4: THE FINAL CLIMB. One rope, 75 feet, 30 seconds. Get to the final buzzer at the top, you win $1 million. If more than one person gets to the top, the fastest climber will take the money.
- Hans Hertz (FAIL)
