Can we end season 22 with a bang?

Eugene starts with $200 Take Your "Med"s. At the TV time out, Reda leads, $1800 to Brad's $1600. Gene only has $800.

Reda finds the Daily Double under $1000 US Lakes & Rivers. She bets $2000 on this: in 1819 the Independence became the first steamboat used on this river. "What is the Mississippi?" Nope, it was the Missouri, dropping her to $1200. She jumps back up to $3000. Brad leads with $3600, but Eugene, with $1600, starts Double Jeopardy!...

... with $400 The Brethren, finding the first Daily Double under $1200 The Testament. He bets $5000 on this: "After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth". "What is Acts?" Right for $10,600 and the lead! He can strike again with the second Daily Double under $1600 John Grisham. He bets $2000 on this: the title character of this Grisham novel is 11-year-old Mark, who hires a lawyer, Reggie Love. "What is 'The Client'." Right for $16,200, where he ends the round against Brad's $8400. Reda has $7800.

Final Jeopardy! in "Americana": a monument at this Nebraska site bears the words "He ain't heavy, Father... he's m' brother". Correct question: What is (Girls &) Boys Town?

Reda & Brad are both correct, Brad almost doubling up with $16,400. Eugene bets just enough to win.... but blanks out on the answer, leaving him with $11,000, and that's the way season 22 ends.

We're going into a six-week recess. Brad will defend his championship on September 11. See you then!

Starting this Friday feud off with Mexico (represented by the Aguilars) vs. Venezuela-Colombia (Chacon). Chacons lead, 150-65. Double round: a job or office in which you get good tips (3). Maria gets #1, a waiter. That's it for them, as the Chacons win it on a steal with valet parking for a final score of 330-65. Other answer: bartender.

Kelly and Jhobana are first up to Dinero Rápido... After four zero answers between the two of them, they only get 115 for $500.

Better luck next half...

The Morales can sew this one up after taking the first three rounds, 221-0. Double Round: other than China, a heavily populated country (4). Bruno gets #4, Japan. Gustavo gets the USA, #2. The Chacons go with Mexico for the steal.. YES! Number one answer for 166! Other answer: India... okay, now to the triple round...

Triple Round: an event in school in which your parents must be present. Marina fires with graduation, #1. Reunion is #2. Morales think that sickness is #3.... and the Chacons are the new champs, 412-221. Other answer: festival.

Kelly & Carlos take to the DR board again. Kelly draws from the basket... puntos extra! Kelly gets 59. Carlos gets only up to 68. Extra points are moot, since they only go up to 50, giving them another $500 for $1000 total.
