Thursday's Topics to Start Off:

CANALS
FOOD TALK
AMERICAN "H"ISTORY
CARPENTRY & CONSTRUCTION
SIMILAR-SOUNDING WORDS
OSCAR-WINNING CO-STARS

The champion's in the lead w/ $3,800 at the first commercial stop; Susannah has $2,400 & Andrew's $800 behind her. But right after Alex's interviews, Andrew suddenly finds the Daily Double under the $800 Canals clue & wagers half his $1,600 (face value).

Although very short, this Russian city's winter canal's spanned by three bridges, including the Hermitage Bridge.

"What is St. Petersburg?"...yes to tie Susannah for second place at the time. When this round's done, he's in first all by himself w/ $6K & leads both of his opponents by $1,400 each.

LACH TRASH (all unattempted): $2K

Double J! Listings:

LET'S GET IN THE RV (Clue Crew clues from the RV Hall of Fame in Elkhart, IN)

In the Bookstore is a DD behind its $800 clue & it's checked out by Susannah w/ $5,400; she's $400 ahead of Patrick for second & is a C-note out of the lead. She wagers $1,800, so this clue could at least temporarily put her ahead of the two guys:

Chapter 1 of this Laura Hillenbrand bestseller's titled "The Day of the Horse is Past".

"What is 'Seabiscuit'?"...we have a new leader w/ $7,200. W/ less than 10 clues to go, Patrick goes DD Hunting in the middle of Dinosaurs...& finds the last one on his second try w/ the $1,600 spot. He's currently at $17,800; Susannah's got $12,400 & Andrew's trailing her by $4K now. Patrick risks $1,800 as well.

This plated beast whose name's from the Greek for "roof lizard" roamed what's now Dinosaur National Monument.

"What is...Stegosaurus?"...indeed it was to be $400 shy of $20K.

Both Andrew Knebel & Susannah Rosenblatt goof w/ "What is Paris?"...Andrew gives back $6K to drop to $8,400, but Susannah only lost $4,600 to stay in the game w/ $9,800. Patrick Morrison started to go w/ Edinburgh, Scotland, but his final response tonight was "What is Berlin?"...that German city's the right one for the win & $10K extra! His three-night haul: $80,701.
