Jill ends the A Fictional Death clues w/ the 1st of three DDs this game w/ $1400; Matt has that much minus the 1 & Lisa’s $600 on the bad side. The female challenger wagers her early margin.

In 1991 John Updike won his 2nd Pulitzer for this aptly-titled final novel about Harry Angstrom.

“What is Rabbit at Rest?”…right.

VENICE
ALLITERATIVE 2-WORD TERMS

HARD “G”
THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF AFRICAN-AMERICAN HISTORY & CULTURE (video clues from the host in D.C.)

Just as she ties Matt for 2nd w/ $9800 (& six Benjamins off the pace), Lisa reaches a DD at the $1200 Broadway Show in Latin & that’s what will be bet.

“Mea Domina Bella”

“What is ‘My Fair Lady’?”…& this woman’s right. She also chooses the right Classical Music clue at $1200 for the last DD & has $13,400 to play w/; Jill’s three large behind her. Lisa plays the conservative card & gambles four Benjamins.

Gustav Holst finished this work by writing “Mercury” in 1916.

No clue on “The Planets” & the BoT close off the $400 spot.
