For the 2nd & final time this wk. the first half of the first rd. ends w/ a DD & this one’s picked by Diana $400 in Inventions & she has a positive g-spot (she was in the red not long ago), trailing R-U Jon by $600 & leader Deirdre by $1600. Diana bets half.

In ’50 Zenith introduced the first one of these gadgets; it was called the “Lazy Bones”.

“What is a remote control?”- especially for TVs. Unfortunately for Alex, time’s up before he could read off either of the last two Canadian History clues.

In the $1600 Beastly Mythology box is another DD for Diana & her $4.5K leaves her $500 behind still-leader Deirdre; Jon just added $800. Diana attempts this clue for $1.5K & 1st place.

In West African myth many tales were spun about Anansi, a trickster in the form of this.

“What is a spider?”…& is correct. Moving on to Deirdre, she runs Single Moms on TV & is back over Diana $16,200-$13,200; Jon’s well in 3rd w/ $5200. Deirdre then is right about the last two 1-Word Play Titles to climb to $19,800. Meanwhile a DD awaits within said topic’s clues…& Diana ($14K) finds ’em all again when she opts for the $1200 clue; Jon’s very much in last w/ $5600. Here’s the $6K prompt for champiene Diana to reclaim 1st:

In 1603 the Tokugawa Shogunate began in Japan & this English dynasty came to an end.

“What is the Magi?”…sorry- it was the Tudor. But she does regain $3600 of that to finish off DJ! for the night.

DIANA’S CORYAT OF THE NIGHT: $17,600
