Last night, it was all women. Tonight, it's the complete opposite:
Colby Burnett
Brenton Montie
Drew Joanides
J! Round Lineup:
ACT I
REALITY TV
IN THE "MM"IDDLE (each correct response has those two M's literally in the middle)
PHYSICISTS
BOOZY TALK
IT'S A TOUGH JOB
To start, after Brenton comes up w/ the right response of "You're fired" to start off Reality TV, he does Donald Trump's such gesture! He ends the first half of the rd. w/ $1,600, half of Colby's first-place score; Drew's a couple hundred in the hole. Colby has the DD placed on the $800 "MM" spot w/ $4K & Lock Game Territory; Brenton's down to $600. Colby says "I'm gonna Roger Craig this- bet it all"! Here's his clue:
Incendiary, or provocative; arousing anger.
He has NADA; the term was "inflammatory". After they run out of time on the final two Physicists, he's gotten $1,800 back; Brenton has a $1K lead over him & Drew's $1,200 in the red.
ATTEMPTED LACH TRASH: $1,600
UNATTEMPTED LACH TRASH: $1,600
TOTAL LT: $3,200
Let's Get a Glance At That Double J! Board:
RELIGION
BAYS & GULFS
MOVIE TERMS
AMERICAN HISTORY
ART APPRECIATION
17th CENTURY WORDS
Drew can get out of imaginary debt (currently at -$400) in a hurry w/ the $1,600 American History answer, where a DD's behind it; Colby's barely back in front $3,400-$3,200. To put Drew at a positive $1,600:
In 1638, he organized the First Baptist Church in America in Providence, RI.
"Who is Roger Williams?"...right he is. W/ Art Appreciation & 17th C. Words left in full, Brenton (at $5,200) goes DD Hunting on the $1,200 17th C. Word & immediately intercepts it! He's slightly out of reach since Colby stands at $10,600 & Drew's sitting on a bagel. Brention's betting $2.5K; crucial clue coming:
Meaning one who flees home or seeks asylum, it was first applied to Huguenots who fled France.
"Who are refugees?"...are right to keep him in this match! But that zero's Drew's final score after this round (the first three AA clues go unplayed), so out he goes w/ $10K & a Classroom J! set.
