Jeopardy!

  Cyd toppled a giant yesterday and looks to do the same to these two.
 
Cyd Musni
Orlando
customer care representative
$42,398, two days
Robert Knecht Schmidt
Cleveland
patent agent
Sarah Rubin
Somerville, MA
clinical research coordinator

Cyd starts with $200 Found in the Jeopardy! Attic. At the break, Robert leads with $4000 to Cyd's $3200. Sarah has yet to make a movie.

Robert finds the Daily Double under $800 You've Got Your Borders. He bets $2000 on this: to the south, Israel; to the east, Syria; to the west, the Mediterranean. "What is Lebanon?" Correct for $7400! He goes to $10,600 to Cyd's $4600. Sarah has $600 and the first pick in Double Jeopardy!...

... with $400 Pop Culture. Sarah finds the first Daily Double under $1600 "Bur" Bank. She wagers $2000 on this: this adventure author penned "Beyond the Farthest Star". "Who is JM Barrie?" No, it was Edgar Rice Burroughs, leaving her with $1800. Cyd finds the other under $1200 Luther. He goes $4000 on this: after deeming his writings heretical, Pope Leo gave Luther 60 days to this, from the Latin for "sing again". "What is recant?" The amount of Latin Cyd knows, he had better get it for $9400. He's got $11,000 to Robert's $17,400. Sarah's got $2600.

Final Jeopardy! in "Film Legends": his only competitive Oscar win was for Best Score in 1973 for a 1952 film in which he had starred as a washed-up comic. Correct response: who was Charlie Chaplin?

No one got this, but Robert has enough to call himself the champ with $12,799. Cyd leaves, Deo volente, with $44,398.

Happy Friday! Wayne selects Brooke (Cowgirl) to roll some dice; $100 times what she rolls or Curtain #1. Brooke wants to roll, and passes up a new grill with patio furniture worth $4,501. Well whatever she rolls will be less than that, but she will win $900. Let's play it again with Yarisol (Pajamas). Will she take curtain #2 instead? Yes she will, and she will not make $800. Instead, she owns a trip to British Columbia worth $8,990! Let's have a 3rd player with Yvonne (Lady in red), unless she wants the Big Box. Wayne offers to double the amount rolled, but she wants the box. So no $1,200 for Yvonne, but she does get half a car (ZONK!)

No more dice, but Wayne has an envelope with 3 checks inside. Wayne wants to pay Deborah (Tooth Fairy) $300 per check, for a total of $900. She wants the checks, but they are bounced (ZONK!) Wayne better not get any cavities.

Lynette (motorcycle mama) owns something behind Curtain #2 with 2 blinkers. Wayne offers to buy it back for $400 per blinker (for $800). She has 3 grandsons, who'd love a car. It's not a car, but it is a new motorcycle worth $5,499! Perfect prize for the motorcycle mama.

Wayne has a red box worth $300 and a green box worth $600. Lisa (1960's Hippie) has $600 to spend, ad she'll spend $300 on the red box. Behind the green box - bananas (ZONK!) For her $300, Lisa bought diamond and sapphire jewelry worth $4,237. Nice buy.

Wayne wants 3 guys next. Peter (Bunny), William (Referee) and Donald (Boxer), all manly men, each get...purses. Donald gets the black purse, William goes gold and Peter gets the red bag. We start with Donald - keep the black bag or take the small box. He wants the bag and doesn't get the Zonk Makeup Kit (ZONK!). Peter has $2,300, which is a nice haul for the Boxer. Will William keep the purse or go for Curtain #1? He goes for the curtain, passing up on $100, and getting a new computer and video/photo studio worth $5,499! Will William keep his purse or go for Curtain #2? He goes for the curtain, and not the purse, which has only $50. Peter gets a game room (Arcade game, foosball table and beer cabinet) worth $4,807. Peter and his wife the cow get to play with the table.

Someone can win a nice trip to Fiji worth $7,150! It could be Sara (Civilian), Raymond (Civilian) or Julie (Geisha). It's time to play pick the can, where we have $500, $1,000 and a Snake Zonk. Julie has $1,000, Raymond has $500 and Sara has a new snake (ZONK!). Now time to go to the green cans. We have another Zonk, $1,500, and Fiji. They both go on. Raymond has... the Zonk (ZONK!), Julie has another $1,500 and Wayne is going to Fiji! No he's not...

Time to play Flipping Digits. We have Sheena (Danica Patrick) with _0_9 Sheena switches them to make it _9_0, which is hers, unless she wants Curtain #1. She wants the money, and doesn't get a home entertainment lounge with 42 inch TV worth $4,449. The cash is...$0900. So it's still $900, but not an entertainment unit...

...nor is it The Big Deal of the Day, which today is worth $26,486. Who wants The Big Deal?

TRADE LIST:
Yarisol: $8,990
Lynette: $5,499
William: $5,499
Peter: $4,887
Lisa: $4,537
Juli: $2,500
Brooke: $900
Yvonne: Halfway Car.
Deborah: Bounced checks
Sara: Sneaky snake
Raymond: Slither in a can

Yarisol has a trip which she's going to giver back for a shot at the Big Deal! Yarisol takes Door #2, and not #3, which is the Cash Vault worth $4,333. Behind Door #2 is a new dining room worth $2,362. So Yarisol loses $6,600 in value while looking at a new BAYLINER BOAT WORTH $26,486!!!! That ends the week. More fun on Monday.

The $2,000 Tossup is RHYME TIME. Carl has $3,000 with I WOULD IF I COULD. He will start the Eggland's Best Eggs Jackpot Round, but first we add this to the wheel. It's a Windstar Cruise of the Mediterranean Sea worth $10,098! It's PROPER NAME. He misses a vowel. Felicia Bankrupts. Lisa misses. Carl hits Lose A Turn. Felicia picks up the MDW. She blanks on a letter. Lisa hits 2 Free Play O's and solves POP SUPERSTAR BEYONCE for $1,250.

Felicia starts the next round. It's THINGS...and a PRIZE PUZZLE. She misses. Lisa picks up the Mediterranean Cruise and the $1,000 Protravelgear.com GC. She hits a Free Play T. She loses all her prizes and $3,150 on Bankrupt. Ouch. Carl calls a letter on the board. Felicia Bankrupts. Lisa reads ROWS OF MULTI-COLORED BEACH UMBRELLAS for $1,700 and a trip to Belize at the Belize Yacht Club worth $6,200! If you have the SPIN ID of SA05102 and are Susan A from Iowa, you are going to Belize! Remember the SONY CARD BONUS! She has $9,150 in cash and trip!

The Mystery Round is sponsored by IHOP. It's SAME NAME. Lisa starts. After doing some work, she loses $4,250 on Bankrupt. Carl misses. Felicia solves SATELLITE AND SIDE DISH for the house minimum.

The $3,000 Tossup is SHOW BIZ. Felicia has $4,000 with CHARACTER ACTOR. She starts PHRASE....actually Pat spins us $1,800 a letter tonight. Felicia solves EASY AS ONE TWO THREE for $5,400. And she comes from behind to win with $9,400 in cash. Lisa leaves with $9,150 including a trip to Belize and Carl leaves with $3,000.

The front game total is $21.550. Let's hope Felicia can increase the total of tonight's game!

The bonus round is sponsored by Maxwell House. From here on out, Maxwell House will donate $2,500 to Feeding America for every bonus round win.

She lands on the S in AMERICA'S. We are dealing with a THING tonight. With the RSTLNE and her choices of M P C A we have:
