Cathy calls three S's for an instant $1.5K & the blue 1/2 KIA & two R's for another $900, then she buys two E's, calls on two T's for another 11 Benjamins, buys an A & puts in two $300 L's before buying a dud vowel in I. Second, Jaquelin calls the two C's for the Hawaii wedge, the $350 K & the $450 M prior to buying the six O's to wipe out the vowels & taking the two $300 H's, but then comes the Bankrupt next to $2.5K to let $6,680 in cash & holiday go up in smoke. Tannen then has a chance at the $1K steal...

I GOT 3 LETTERS!

After an incorrect response reversal on an $800 clue earlier, David's score's upped to $11,400 just as he's about to attempt his second DD of the night behind the $1,600 Antonymic Pair; Patrick's still within reach w/ $7,600 & Annette has half the champ's second-place score. David will wager $2,600 on this one:

Scientific American has a feature that presents a common belief & asks this alliterative question.

"What is Fact or Fiction?"...that's true to get him to the $14K mark! But while he's on a roll, Patrick takes the other DD attached to the $1,600 The Post Man's Here answer & is leading David $14,800-$14K; Annette's back to where she started this DJ! Round, $3K. To retain his lead & add $2,200:

Stuart Whatley's managing blog editor for this post.

"What is...The Denver Post?"...back to second the champ goes; it was The Huffington Post.

ANNETTE:
Response: "Who is Hanibal _______"
Wager: $2,998
Final score: $2

Patrick Morrison had "Who is Hannibal Lecter?", which is the complete correct name to add $8K & prop him up to $22,600...but he's leaving at least for now w/ $82,701, because David Gard's the new titleholder w/ $29,300.
