Greg doesn't need to go too far Around the World to uncover the Daily Double in its $600 box; Neha got on the board first. He wagers his $400 on this True DD:
From about 60 miles away, Mount Fuji towers over this capital city.
"What is Tokyo?" is correct for eight bills; he clears the rest of that category to leap to $2,600. Even after stumbling back-to-back on the first two Sports Stars, he's in Lock Game Territory at the break w/ $3,400, leading both girls by three large.

The $1,600 Creatures lead to a Video DD taken by Hallie at $7,200; she's $1,400 behind Neha for second place & is $2,800 out of first. Hallie goes for three big ones, so for a $200 lead, Jimmy Maguire's clue from the Harvard Museum of Natural History is:
Discovered in 1935, a skull discovered at the Harvard Museum of Natural History is called a "type specimen" as it helped paleontologists establish this type of dinosaur.
"What is Triceratops?"...$10,200 & the lead! Greg unlocks the last one under the next-to-last Boys in Ballet answer & he has $6,800; Neha's a fairly distant second w/ $11,400 & is $6K off the pace. He just gambles for a grand.
A boy named Fritz breaks this title gift given to his sister Clara by Drosselmeyer.

Let's review what a season S28 was on "J!":
-The season started w/ a bang because of Justin Sausville's six-day run.
-Starting w/ Week 2, the civilian consolation cash prizes were sponsored by Aleve.
-Joon Pahk had a seven-day $201K run.
-Roger Craig won the '11 Tournament of Champions thanks to making successful back-to-back TDDs, a first for the show!
-Starting on Dec. 16, it felt like late '05-early '06 all over again, as Jason Keller won almost $216K w/ nine victories, followed right after by Dave Leach's six-game reign & a four-game run by Dan McShane!
-Elyse Mancuso set a two-day tourney finale record at the end of the Teen Tournament w/ $79,600!
-Joel Pool was the last six-day champ of the season, who began his reign on 5/21.
-W/ the exception of the shows from DAR Constitution Hall (Week 2 of the Teen Tourney & Power Players Week), Alex didn't walk in the studio very much this season & never entered through the regular doors due to his injury last summer.
We hope you all stay safe & healthy & come back Sept. 17th!
