Roger's going fishing before the other two can...

Daily Double #1: $1200 Novels...  and he comes up trumps. Roger has $9000 to Tom's $7400 and Buddy's $4200... and Roger's going for it! For $18,000 or nothing... Her "Agnes Grey" appeared in 1847 under the pseudonym Acton Bell (note the initials). "Who is Anne Bronte?" .... FOR THE DOUBLER, $18,000!

Daily Double #2: $1600 Languages. Roger finds it out of the first Daily Double.... and he's going to DO IT AGAIN! For $36,000 or nothing... Although Dutch is the official language, Sranan Tongo is spoken by most people in this South American country. "What is Suriname?" ... A BACK-TO-BACK! AND A BELLY-TO-BELLY! Roger's at $36,000!

At the end of Double Jeopardy!...

Roger Tom Buddy

Even with the line-ruling reversal, it's possible, albeit not practical, that Roger can break his own record and in the process possibly put the tournament away in ONE NIGHT. But does he have it in him?

Final Jeopardy! category: THE PRESIDENTIAL CABINET

 

7 WOMEN HAVE BEEN THE SECRETARY OF THIS, THE MOST FOR ANY DEPARTMENT IN THE PRESIDENT'S CABINET

 

Correct response: what is Labor?

Tom's response: what is Labor? RIGHT. Wager: $9400. Total: $18,800.
Buddy's response: what is State? WRONG. Wager: $5000. Total: $6000.
Roger's response: what is Labor? RIGHT. Wager: $6800. Total: $50,000.

Roger's picking up where he left off and leaving a heck of a mountain for his two opponents.

$50,000 $18,800 $6,000

Tom and Buddy will have to bring the game to Roger and play his brand of Jeopardy! if they want to win the quarter-mill. Someone's going to win the quarter-mill. Stay tuned.
