USING YOUR JEOP-PS

Paul's the early leader (pretty unusual for him) w/ $3,400; Jake's at $2,800 & Amanda has four $100 bills. But right after Jake resumes being right on the $600 French Eponym, the remaining one for $1K has his DD. Jake puts $1.5K at stake.

In 1839, this Frenchman showed a way to create an image on a copper plate coated w/ silver; the process' named for him.

"Who is (Louis) DaGuerre?"...right he is for $4,900 & sole possession of first place. He's up to $7,300 when the board's finished; Paul has $3,200 & Amanda's got $1,800.

Double J! Lineup:
AN "FL" (each right response starts w/ those letters)

DISTINCTIVE CREATURES
ALLITERATION FOR THE PEOPLE
PAUL SIMON SAYS


In the middle of DDH, Paul grabs one from the $2K area of Knowest Thou The Old Testament? $5,600 is where he sits & is $3,300 out of the lead. The champ makes a $3.5K wager, so for the lead:

This woman's promised "eleven hundred pieces of silver" if she can uncover the secret of a certain gentleman.

"Who is Delilah?"...also the name of a famous late-night radio show host, he got her to be upped to $9,100! Next, here's $1,600 Alliteration for the People & another DD caught by the champ; we could have a big win to wrap up the week, because he has $16,300 & a $1K lead over Jake, while Amanda's down to $1,400. Paul bets his one grand cushion:

Missouri micreant, bank bandit, Ford finished.

He can't come up w/ Jesse James. Not enough time for the last three Paul Simon Says answers.

FJ! CATEGORY #50: Biographies About Authors.

Chapters in a biography on this author include "Declaring His Genius" & "A Late Victorian Love Affair".

AMANDA:
Response: "Who is H.P. Lovecraft?"
BUSTS


Paul didn't bet a thing because he decided to write "Who is Dolly Parton?"- ZONK & HE'S THE FIRST "J!" CONTESTANT EVER TO MISS SIX STRAIGHT FJ!'s. Jake did bet $9,301, so if "Who is Oscar Wilde?" is right, he's the new champ for $28,201...yes! Paul leaves for now w/ $56,900.
