It's the fruit of the coconut palm tree.

John: "What is the coconut?"- YOU BET ($600)

The Linzer Torte, a tart usually filled w/ raspberry jam, is named for this Austrian city.

Stephanie: "What is Linz?"- CORRECT ($2,400)

She's on her way at halftime w/ five thou; John's improved to $1,400 & has a $1K cushion over Ricky for second place. W/ three clues to go on the board for this J! Round, she grabs the Video Daily Double in the $600 screen w/ $9,200; Ricky's a distant second w/ $1,600 & John's dropped to two $100 bills. For an even $10K:

Illustrating the difference in memories, some people said that Booth shouted this Latin phrase right from here, center stage. Others said no, it was from the box. Booth himself wrote that he spoke the words before shooting Lincoln- perhaps he said these words more than once.

"What is 'Sic semper tyrannis'?"...exactly! But she gives the added $800 right back by missing the very next clue.

ATTEMPTED LACH TRASH: $1,200 (second & fourth The Assassination of Abraham Lincoln clues)

It shouldn't be a "Sin" for Steph to take a DD chance on its $1,600 spot w/ $11,200; Ricky has reached the $2K plateau. She again makes a $2K bet.

Astronomical term for a place in space where matter's infinitely dense.

"What is Sin City?"...that does qualify under that particular theme, but that definitely won't work; it's just known as a singularity. Does she finish the DD Sweep tonight...yes she does w/ the $800 City Founder & while having $10,800! She's not as in a comfortable position as earlier, because John's risen to $4,600. This woman goes for another grand now.
