He fronts $3500 on this: Alan Jay Lerner won the Oscar for best screenplay for this 1951 musical about an expatriate. "What is 'An American in Paris'?" Correct for $9500 and the lead! Dense retakes the lead when she finds the second Daily Double under $1600 It's On "R" Map. She bets $2000 on the East River location of the New York City jail. "What is Riker's Island?" Correct for $12,600! She ends up with $12,200 to Randy's $11,100. Mary has $4400.

Final Jeopardy! in "Islands": despite landmines dating from 1982, penguins use these islands for mating grounds, being too light to set them off. Correct question: What are the Falkland Islands?

Denise could've taken it had she spelled the name correctly. Er go, Randy will repeat as champion with $12,400 today, and $31,200 for two days.
