Jeannie has been chosen to be traded to the BT. Earlier in this episode, some gamecocks are delivered in a farm crate.
The Reckoning #4: Each team's given a beer cooler puzzle they have to build, w/ one member per team being the caller. Two puzzle builders per team are wearing beer goggles. The winners can stuff those coolers w/ ice cold popsicles & ice cream.
BENCHED- Adam
CALLERS- Jen & Teri
WINNERS- OT (because the BT built their puzzle the wrong way)
VOTE-OFF #4: There is...no tie...& Jeannie's ELIMINATED over Tex.

After 16 clues, we reach the first break & Jia-Rui's the early leader to the tune of 3K bucks, followed by Matt w/ $2,600 & Anna-Lisa w/ $200 (but that was a negative figure early on). To end this round, the first Daily Double tonight's found somewhere within the "Days of Our Lives" clues...Matt's got it in the $600 screen w/ $5,600, compared to Anna-Lise's $2,400. He just wagers the face value of:
"Carrie, I'm really sorry I missed your wedding-- I know you marrying Austin was a once-in-a-lifetime event. Yes, I felt like Mary I of England on July 25, 1554, marrying Philip II of this Catholic country."
"What is Spain?"...is the right country for $6,200 & that's the end of the round.

BEFORE & AFTER
Matt gets all but the $2K B & A to climb into Lock Game Territory w/ $10,200 to begin this edition of DJ! But eight clues into the round, Jia-Rui uncovers a DD in the middle of Science (fitting) w/ $5,800, while the champ's only improved to $2,800. Jia-Rui makes a $4K gamble on:
The name of this, seen in the heavens, is a translation of the Latin via Lactea.
"What is the Milky Way?"...that candy bar name's it to be within $400 of first place! By the time that theme's finished, the challengers are in a first-place tie at $11,800 each...& they're definitely still NOT tied once Matt gets a hold of the DD placed on the $2K Office Holder. He's solely in front w/ $13,800 & leads Jia-Rui by $3,200. The wager from that man will be three thou:
Supreme Court Justice, 1986- (he's been there the longest)
"Who is Antonin Scalia?"...he got him to get sent to $16,800! Not enough time for the last two C.C.: Me answers.

A Y-shaped group of four stars depicts a water jar in this constellation.
"What is Aquarius?"...both challengers are tied for the moment w/ $6,200 a head. The $1,600 Partial Opposite containing the other DD is hers, too, now w/ $7,800; Lindsay's dropped to $5,200. Lindsay wagers a C-note again.
The OED says this 12-letter adjective meaning definitely NOT amazed & impressed dates back to the 1950s.
"What is underwhelmed?"...makes sense & is right to keep her slightly in first w/ $8,800. The first four clues on The 14th Century go to waste in the round.

The $800 & $1,200 The River of History answers are both TSs, but Jon picks up a DD in the $1,600 screen w/ $5K & is $1,600 off the pace. He wagers $1.5K on the following:
Until the Erie Canal opened, this 981-mile tributary of the Mississippi was the main route west for goods & people.
"What is the Ohio River?"...that's right for an increase to $6.5K & cuts the deficit to a Benjamin. Even though Tim has captured the DD in the $1,600 Nature window, he's in danger of possibly going back in the hole w/ $1,800 showing in his bank; Jon's at $6,900 & Anna-Lise's in five figures to the tune of $11,900. Tim takes the $2K chance on:
The Moonflower, whose blossoms open in the evening, is a fragrant variety of this A.M. flower.
"What is the Morning Glory?"...yes indeed for $3,800. The first three clues in the In Utah Row column go unrevealed because of time.

In 1862, he told The Prussian Diet "The great questions of the time" will be decided by "...iron & blood".
"Who is Wilhelm?"...no, he was instead Bismarck & he's back to $600. Margaret's in first place at the midway point of the round w/ two big ones & Jim's gone to $1,800. Time expires before Health & Nutrition can be concluded.

Prince Charles traveled to Aberystwyth, where he learned this language to prep for a 1969 investiture.
"What is Welch?"...$12K! Left behind just before time runs out are the $2K Sculpture & the $1,200 John Steinbeck clues, but not the $1,600 Steinbeck answer- Margaret intercepts the DD hidden back of there while she has $8,200. Jon was in LGT a minute or so ago, but now he's not even w/ $15,200 & Jim's doubled up & then some to $6,600. Because she makes a $2K bet, this will decide if she stays mathematically alive for Final J!:
"Jody put out his bruised hand again, and..." this title animal "...let his nose be rubbed".
"What is the mouse from Of Mice & Men?"...GAME OVER- that was referring to The Red Pony.

Deniz hits a D^2 w/ $12K after choosing the $2K spot in "D" for Science; he trails the champ by $1,800, but Melissa's starting to charge as well w/ seven G's. For another three & the lead, his clue is:
It's either of the two cells formed when a cell divides-- each one's a genetic duplicate of the parent cell.
"What is diploid?"...that & duploid are both incorrect; the correct term was "daughter cell" & he's dipped to $9K. Melissa meanwhile has her DD chance from the $1,600 Spiritual Autobiography w/ $9,400; she's $400 over Deniz for second & is $4,400 out of the lead. Melissa makes this answer worth $2K:
This Pope's Journal of a Soul from adolescence to The Vatican was published after he died in 1963.
"Who is Paul XXIII?"...but it was John XXIII.

The man in the middle, Deniz, has $3,200 & a $1K early lead over both women next to him. Before this round ends w/ Mine, Margaret closes the Queues out w/ that Daily Double & a first-place tie w/ Deniz at $5K each, who both have a $1,600 lead. Margaret wagers three of her five C-notes for this answer:
He abdicated shortly after Petrograd Police opened fire on a group lined up for bread.
"Who is Nicholas...II?"...she picked the right one to be solely in first place at this time w/ $8K! Not enough time to show the last remaining $200 clue, but she ends the round w/ $9K & a $2,200 cushion over Deniz.

The Week in Review: June 18-24, 2012
Player of the Week:
WINNER: David Menchaca ($116,503 as five-day champ)("Jeopardy!")
RUNNERS-UP: Miles & Megan Stoner ($100K)("The Great Escape")
3RD PLACE: "The Game Show Guru" Scott Hostetler ($44,049)("The Price is Right")
WINNER: David Menchaca ($116,503 as five-day champ)("Jeopardy!")
RUNNERS-UP: Miles & Megan Stoner ($100K)("The Great Escape")
3RD PLACE: "The Game Show Guru" Scott Hostetler ($44,049)("The Price is Right")
DEBUT: "The Great Escape"
TEAMS:
Brittany & Gabe (engaged)
Jeff & Lexx (male friends)
Miles & Megan Stoner (siblings from Dallas; she's the sister)
Rich Eisen is the host of the new TNT show where $100K will be at stake each episode that's inside a box stuffed in the back of a Volvo XC60. The debut takes place at Alcatraz Island. To win the money, the teams have to complete four challenges so that they can collect pieces to assemble a giant key to deliver to Eisen.
The opening task at midnight is to find a map & a key to escape the detainment cell. However, from time to time in the game, patrolling guards will wander around. Should a team get caught, they're brought back to their detainment cell & have to find another key to pick up from where they left off in the game.
Stage #1: Break into a lock box, which holds a flashlight, a riddle (recreation combo = hours served; Mitch Red Dog Muloney: 49 days, 16 hours) & the first piece of TGE key. The correct answer to the riddle will serve as the correct combination for the three gate padlocks in the wreckyard (only one per team, though).
RIDDLE ANSWER: 1,192 (24 X 49 = 1,176 + 16)
The Stoners are the first aired team to get CAPTURED...as well as complete the first stage, just ahead of Jeff & Lexx!
Stage #2: Inside the administration building, individual canvas bags w/ a marine map, compass & the second piece of TGE key need to be found.
Just as this is getting started, both the BT & RT ARE CAPTURED. As a result, the GT have a nice lead...until they're CAPTURED themselves at about the halfway mark in this episode. The RT takes over the lead because the GT GETS CAPTURED AGAIN.
Stage #3: At the ammunition alcoves, hidden behind hundreds of pounds of ammo cases & sandbags is a boat key that is also attached to the third part of TGE key.
The BT struggled in the first stage, but they're starting to catch up.
FINAL STAGE: In an old, rusty power plant, a gas can has to be retrieved to complete TGE key. The name of the final destination's on the completed key- San Francisco Pier 3. After reaching a designated transport zone at a boat dock, they must join an accomplice in a zodiac boat across S.F. Bay to get to Eisen.
In the end, the big money's awarded to...
...THE STONERS! The GT finishes second.

"Jeopardy!" 6/22
Before I begin this recap, I would like to show you the 4/5 betting suggestions from last night's dramatic game:
Margaret: Everything or close to that
David: $5,399
Lukas: $13,401 or a Shortegic wager of $1,401
NO ONE wagered perfectly, so the only reason Margaret's back tonight is because both guys lost the game to her when they shouldn't have due to greediness (I was especially surprised at David given he lowballed at a good time for his first win). Also, there was no Zerg Cam shot of her; that would've been a good time for it to have been used. Now, that I've got those rumblings out of the way, we're into one of those proving ground games w/ three ladies:
Ayana Matthews (Baltimore, MD)- Geriatric nursing assistant & chef
Bridget Gallagher (Arlington, VA; she moved to AK once)- Fundraising consultant
CHAMP: Margaret Swanson (whose one-day cash winnings total $3,999)
Friday's Basics:
TEXAS-BASED COMPANIES
DIAL M FOR MURDER

MILESTONE BIRTHDAYS 2012
Ayana's the early leader at halftime to the tune of $3K, followed by Bridget w/ $1,800 & Margaret w/ eight $100 bills. At round's end, Ayana finds herself in Lock Game Territory w/ $6,200 & Margaret's in third place w/ a $5K deficit, but it's Bridget who gets to end the round w/ a Daily Double on the $1K Texas-Based Company. From her $1,800, Bridget wagers a grand:
This large retailer of imported furnishings & gifts began as a single store in the San Francisco Bay Area.
"What is Pier 1 (Imports)?"...good for $2,800...& later $4,400, because her incorrect response on the $800 Common Bond is deemed acceptable just before the start of the next round.
SOLE ATTEMPTED TS: $800 (Texas-Based Companies)

Ayana finds a DD lurking behind the $1,600 "N-A" answer w/ $7,800 & she has a $1K advantage over Bridget; Margaret's nearly tripled her end-of-R1 score to $3,600. This clue will try to push Ayana to that $10K mark:
This world capital in the West Indies was established at its present site in 1519.
She blanks. The last word of the title of Gloria Estefan's latest album would've been right- Havana ("Little Miss Havana"); back to $5,600 she goes. W/ five clues left (two in Phonecia Phun & three in Play Them Off), she also digs up the final DD this week from the $1,600 Phonecia Phun screen w/ about a minute to go in the round. This is a closer game than it was a few min. ago, though- Ayana has eight thou & is $800 ahead of Margaret for second, while Bridget's leading the way w/ $10,400. Ayana makes this tidbit worth $1.5K:
Until the 500s A.D., Africans near Carthage spoke this Phoenician dialect, also the name of three wars.
"What is Punic?"...that's NOT a puny Q, because it's right to take her to $9.5K. Time is called before they can read off the last Play Them Off answer.

David's currently in the driver's seat at the TV timeout w/ $5,200, compared to Margaret's $1,400 & Lukas' C-note. Then, it's Daily Double time for Lukas (w/ 11 clues to go in the round after this) courtesy of the $800 "M.E." w/ double that face value; Margaret has $1,800 & David's added $1K to his pre-break Lock Game Territory-quality score. Lukas goes for the $3,200 doubler on this:
It differs from other slithery sea dwellers in that it usually lacks pectoral fins.
"What is a moray eel?"...yes. When the board's finished, he's upped his total to $4,600; Margaret gets the third-place advantage w/ $3,600 & Dave's at the $7K level.

THE JOY OF INSECTS
Just after moving back into first, David's selection of the $1,600 Bad Ending for Writers w/ $9,800 is a good thing, because it holds one of the round's two DDs; Lukas' $400 behind him & Margaret's just hanging in there at four thou. The current kingpin wagers two big ones:
This courtier & author of a History of the World was executed at The Tower of London in 1618.
"Who is..Sir Thomas Moore?"...incorrect- it was Sir Walter Raleigh & he's back in second w/ $7,800. And On Your Marks, Alex- get ready to read Lukas his other DD answer of this game attached to its $1,600 clue while he has $13,400. David's $2,800 ahead of him & Margaret's still hanging by a thread, now at $6K. Lucas' bet this go-round will be Margaret's current bank, so if he misses the following, Dave could be back in the home free position:
In 2005, this former FBI deputy director revealed he was "Deep Throat".
"Who is Mark Felt?" is the man for a new leading sum of $19,400!
SOLE ATTEMPTED TS: $800 (Helicopters)
UNATTEMPTED LACH TRASH: $4,400
TOTAL DJ! LACH TRASH: $5,200
Heading into the Final:

MARGARET:
Response: "What is the Alhambr..." (she was going for The Alhambra in Spain, which is wrong anyway)
Wager: $2,001
Final score: $3,999
Dave Menchaca had "What is the Kabaa?"...THAT WILL COST HIM $17,358 & HIS TITLE; he leaves w/ $116,503. Lukas Sherman wrote "What is the Haggia Sophia?"...BUT IT WAS THE TAJ MAHAL & HE LOSES $18K & THE GAME, so Margaret steals one. OUCH.
