On this Mystery Round board, it's Rhyme Time. Chris calls an automatic dud of T. Second, Charita calls five S's for $4.5K but then buys the sole dud vowel (A). Third, Amaris gets up there an N for that Wild Card, four R's for $2,400, eight E's, but then a dud of M while on the Mystery Wedge in between Free Play & Lose a Turn. Chris resumes his gameplay w/ two P's for six Benjamins & a $900 K, but he then Bankrupts out next to the former WC location to give back the $1.5K. Right after that...

TPiRecap

J!: Hoping to join Tom Nissley in the two-game final early next week:

Kara Spak
Jay Rhee
Buddy Wright

Once the first round board's lit up, these come into view:

EUROPEAN GEOGRAPHY
THE 2011 EMMYS
MILITARY WIVES
AUTOBIOGRAPHIES
STORAGE
JEOPORTMANTEAU

Early on, Kara goes Daily Double Hunting in the center of The '11 Emmys...no DD yet as Jay has $1,800 & Lock Game Territory at halftime; Buddy has $400 & Kara's got half Buddy's early score after they both were in the negatives earlier. On the next-to-last clue of European Geography & this round...Jay takes out the DD w/ $6K (due to an incorrect response reversal on the middle Storage answer); Buddy has $2,200 & Kara's now $1,600 in the hole. Jay's wagering 1/3 his bank.

Ports on this bay include Bilbao, Spain & Bayonne, France.

"What is the Bay of Biscay?"...good for the $8K mark! Buddy finishes Round 1 w/ $3,200.

ATTEMPTED LACH TRASH: $1,800
UNATTEMPTED LACH TRASH: $1,200
TOTAL LACH TRASH: $3K

Double Jeopardy! Category List:

LADS NAMED VLAD
GIVE THE ORDER (these clues are about organisms)
THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE (this is a British literary prize)
POP CULTURE
2 Vs, PLEASE
ECONOMIST DANCE PARTY

Kara activates the High School Strategy immediately on Pop Culture...just before the $400 clue is gotten to, Jay goes DD Hunting again, this time beginning on the $1,600 spot in 2 Vs, Please...& he has his second DD tonight behind the $2K Lads Behind Vlad monitor w/ $12,800; Buddy's within reach at $8K & Kara's again recovered to $4,400. Jay risks almost all of his current lead, $4K, on this clue:

In 1929, while working for RCA, this inventor & engineer demonstrated the first practical all-electronic TV.

He CAN'T come up w/ Vladimir Zworykin, meaning he only has an $800 first-place margin w/ $8,800. However, he sweeps those DDs immediately after that by choosing the $1,200 Give the Order clue. He'll gamble the face value, so to remain a bit in the lead:

The Grizzly bear & the gray wolf

"What is Ursis?"...incorrect again & he's at least temporarily lost the lead by slipping to $7,600. Correct: "What is carnivore?". As it turns out, that topic's a WIPEOUT.

ATTEMPTED LACH TRASH: $3,600
UNATTEMPTED LACH TRASH: $7,600
TOTAL DJ! LACH TRASH: $11,200

Going Into the Final:

Buddy: $10,800
Jay: $6,400
Kara: $5,200

CORYAT SCORES:

Buddy: $10,800
Jay: $10,400
Kara: $5,200

FINAL JEOPARDY! SUBJECT: Hollywood History.

They were the first two sisters ever nominated for the same acting OSCAR in the same year.

Kara Spak had a funny but worthless question of "Who are Anna + Miriam Spak?" & it will cost her everything but 12 fake dollars. Jay Rhee got "Who are Vanessa and Lynn Redgrave?"...HE LOSES EVERYTHING, so that sends him packing w/ $10K. Buddy Wright's Q of "Who are Eva + Zsa Zsa (Gabor)" wasn't much better, but he's still a finalist by giving back only $2,001. The correct response to that was "Who were Joan Fontaine & Olivia de Havilland?".
