In the republic of Cyprus: these two languages.

"What are Greek & Turkish?"...he said 'em w/ authority. He finds himself in Lock Game Territory w/ $4,400; Erin's doubled to four bills & Natalie has six.

Last Half-Dozen Topics This Week:
PROLOGUES
SITCOM COUPLES
STATE BY COUNTIES
B IN THE MIDDLE (in each correct response, it's exactly there)
IT'S NOT JUST A GOOD IDEA
IT'S THE MATH OR SCIENCE LAW

Peter goes DD Hunting this time...but Erin picks off one on her own via the $1,600 Prologue w/ $9K & an $1,800 lead over Peter; Natalie's slightly improved to $2,800. The current titleholder bets three big ones & the lead on this:

A prologue by this author says "I am an invisible man. No, I am not a spook like those who haunted Edgar Allan Poe".

"Who is Ellison?"...it was a choice between him & Emerson & she picked the right Ralph Waldo to leap to the $12K level! The other lady, Natalie, snatches the last one of this first week attached to the $1,600 State by Counties answer w/ $6,800; Peter has $9,600 & Erin's in LGT w/ $19,600 (though she had $21,600) earlier). W/ about a minute to go in this round, she only wagers $2K.

Two states, please: Franklin, Crockett, Knox.

"What is Kentucky...& Tennessee?"...well, KY's wrong anyway; besides TN, the other right state was TX. The $200 & $400 Prologues get left behind.

NO LT IN THIS ROUND

FINAL J! CATEGORY #5: The OSCARS.
 
The only remake of a U.S. film to win Best Picture; the original was made in the 1920s, the OSCAR-winning remake in the 1950s.

Natalie leaves w/ $1K after dropping to $100 w/ "What is 'Cleopatra'?"...& Peter agreed w/ her, so he'll be going home w/ $2K after finishing at $5,199. We have another TS in this round after Erin's response is revealed to be "What was 'All Quiet on the Western Front'" after she originally tried "The Jazz Singer"- the actual title was "Ben Hur". But she wins another $15,999 this evening for a two-day total of $32,199.
