HS:

Marcus: $1K/Amanda: $2,800/Matt: $2,200

Amanda takes the $800 Transportation out for a spin & it’s the DD; she’s in the lead for now w/ $4600, a $1K cushion on top of Marcus. She bets the thou.

NOT quite as romantic, public ferries called Vaporetti have largely replaced these.

“What are gondolas?”…will double that lead.

ATTEMPTED LT: $600 (first two Pick a Planet clues)
SOLE UNATTEMPTED TS: $600 (Time to Say Goodbye)
TOTAL LT: $1200

CS:

Marcus: $3,600/Amanda: $7K/Matt: $4,800

KNOTTY BY NATURE
LITERATURE
ONOMATOPEIA
FRENCH HISTORY
TWO-DIMENSIONAL PEOPLE
MADE IN THE USA

For the 2nd straight show, the DDs in this rd. of competition are saved until the last two remaining topics in their entirety- still left for the taking are Literature & French History. The first of those goes to the woman in the middle using the $1600 French History space & she’s in 2nd during a squeaker w/ 11 large; she’s $600 ahead of 3rd-place Matt & $600 away from 1st. Amanda once again bets $1K.

Awarded to Germany after the Franco-Prussian War, these paired regions became part of France for good in 1945.

“What are Alsace & Lorraine?”…nailed ’em. Defending kingpin Marcus gets the last one of this game for the $1200 Literature answer & sits in a 1st-place tie w/ Amanda at $12,400 a head, $2K more than Matt. He risks the two.

James Dickey was best remembered for this novel about a harrowing canoe trip.

“What’s Deliverance?”…signed & sealed. And that’s the last clue anybody tries this rd.

DJ! LT: $14,400

CORYAT SCORES:
Marcus: $13,600
