Jeopardy!:

Last Panel of the Week:
Paul Nelson (originally from Iowa City)- Sentence staff aid
Ariane Helou (Santa Cruz, CA)- Graduate student of literature
LONG CHAMP: Paul Whitener (whose seven-day cash winnings total $147,597; I hoping he loses tonight or Mon. so I won't have to totally worry about what happened on the Election Day '12 episode):

This Game Starts W/:
PYRAMIDS
WORDS THAT SHOULD RHYME
TRIOS
CROSBY
STILLS
NOSH

Keith's in third place at the break w/ $1,200; Ariana has twice that & Paul's the early leader at $4,400. After a slow start, Keith finds the DD under the last remaining Crosby block for $800 w/ $3,600; Paul's up to $6,600. The kingpin makes this a $1K clue:

The answer to this TV question of the 1980s was Kristin Shepard, played by Bing's daughter Mary. 

"What is 'What's My Line?'" is a lovely thought, but it was the "Dallas" episode titled "Who Shot J.R. (Ewing)?". He finishes the round back at $3K, whereas Paul's in Lock Game Territory w/ $7,800.

ATTEMPTED LACH TRASH: $1K (Crosby)
UNATTEMPTED LACH TRASH: $200 (Words That Should Rhyme)
TOTAL LACH TRASH: $1,200

Another Half-Dozen Topics Waiting:
GEORGIAS ON MY MIND
WHO'S THAT GIRL DIRECTOR?
19th CENTURY AMERICA
EUROPEAN LITERATURE
ENDS WITH TWO VOWELS
SCIENCE "C" STUFF

Ariana uses the High School Strategy right away w/ European Literature...but Paul picks off a DD w/ the last remaining "C" answer for $800 w/ $11,400; he's $1,001 out of LGT because Keith has $6,200 & Ariane's just started this round w/ an additional $2K ($4,400 total). Paul bets a fairly big $5K:

This pigment comes in different letter types; the C version's found in algae.

"What is chlorophyll?"...just got it to zoom to $16,400!
