Daily Double #1: $1600 Places to "C". Brooks is in third by a mile and a half with $3800 to Justin's $13,200. He'll try for second with $3000 riding on this: this body of water receives many rivers, including the Ural & the Kura. "What is the Caspian Sea?" Correct for the tie with $6800!

Daily Double #2: $1200 Social Studies. Justin is in the lead with $16,800, almost double his nearest opponent Brooks ($8800). He bets $4000 on this: "The Social" this plural noun "Marketing Book" has chapters on networks like MySpace & Facebook. "... You got me, Alex." Media's a plural noun. Justin's bitter beer face puts him back at $12,800.
