The DD is about Life In ’77 & Travis chooses it up the middle w/ a R-U score of $3600; Henry’s in 1st (at least temporarily) w/ $4400, double Gwynedd’s total. Travis gambles two.

The American Cancer Society organized the first “Great American…” one of these.

HERE’S THE NAKED TRUTH
NO MORE COVER-UP

DD #2 this evening for Travis pinned to the $1600 clue in Begins W/ a Silent Letter & he’s narrowly over Henry $11,800-$11,200; Gwynedd’s added eight bills since we got this rd. underway. $2K clue again going to Travis.

A male servant: the word has been used to mean a rascal since around 1200.

“What is a…valet?”…not that- what is a knave? And he found the last three of this yr., w/ the final DD in the $1200 No More Cover-Up box; Henry’s ahead w/ $14,800. From his $13,400, Travis wagers three.

Attempts to hide this 1986 accident lasted two days before Swedish monitoring stations detected radiation.

“What is the Chernobyl nuclear disaster?”…it was it.

Pre-Final S:

Travis: $18,400/Henry: $14,800/Gwynedd: $4,200

Following a show’s success in 2011, this group began advertising “You’ve seen the play…now read the book”.

GWYNEDD: “WHO IS ‘THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST + LATTER DAY SAINTS’?” ($599) = $3,601
HENRY: “Who is ‘Queen'” (NIL)
TRAVIS: “Who is the ‘Author’s Guild'” (Correct: What is ‘The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints’?”) = $7,199

    Disappointed episode to end the year. That is the second straight season that we end the year with a triple stumper in Final Jeopardy in which it lowers my grade. That Final Jeopardy clue was very evil and everyone will say where’s the bell ringing for the new year. Any thoughts, Ant0824?
    Grade: F
    Weekly Grade: B

      Actually disappointed that it was a long Final response. And no one got it! Even the lady was close.

        That’s why we got a triple stumper to end the year and I’m waiting for Ant0824 to response.

    • “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts”, “Yukon Territories”, and now this… What is it with all these technical wrong responses these days? At least this one didn’t affect the outcome.
