FIRST NAMES
HEY, U2!
GET A ROOM!
Cat's sitting pretty, because she's in Lock Game Territory w/ $3,400 halfway through the opening round; Judy has $1,200 & Peter's $400 shy of the champion for second place. Late in the interviewing, an incorrect response by Judy on the $800 Hey U2! clue is reversed, so her score's upped to $2,800 & knocks Cat out of LGT in a heartbeat. Furthermore, the very next selection of the $1K clue to wrap up the First Names conceals the Daily Double. Judy wagers the face value of:
This French name means "reborn", a reference to Christian baptism.
"What is baptist?" is wrong; Renee was right & she dips to $1,800. But she's gotten it up to $4K at round's end; Cat's ahead of her for first by $1,800 & Peter's leading off the next round of play w/ $2,200.

Cat grabs a DD in the center spot regarding the Titanic & she's still leading the champ, $13,400-$11,600; Peter's still got hope w/ $5,400. Cat puts $4K at risk w/ the following:
The first rescue ship on site was this British liner that picked up more than 700 survivors, mostly women & children.
"What is..The (RMS) Lusitania?"...NOT it; we were looking for another RMS ship, The Carpathia. W/ that, she slips to second w/ $9,400 & eventually $8,600 after a wrong question on the $800 answer about Canada's Maritime Provinces, but she can redeem himself w/ its $1,200 clue, because that's where the week's final DD lurks. For $2K additional this time:
When the French ruled Canada, the region was known as this.
"What is..Le Nord?"...this was also the same name of a kind of GMC car & that's definitely NOT right. In this case, that referred to the Acadia, so we have a DD SHUTOUT tonight & she falls even further to $6,600.

Peter Allen wrote down "What is a loophole?"...there wasn't one regarding that right response & he's up to $10,001 as a result. Cat Still's...right too to advance to $11,601...
