HEALTH & NUTRITION

B.P.
LAST NAME'S THE SAME (three first names per clue)
THE SCREAM ACTOR'S GUILD
The last Speech! nets the Virginian the Daily Double w/ $1,600 to Jim's $400. Jon makes the clue worth its face value:
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.

TRAVELS WITH CHARLEY
The $1,200 Travel W/ Charley means Jon's second DD of the game w/ $9,800; he's not quite in Lock Game Territory yet, because the champ's at $5,400. Jon bets 22 of his 98 $100 bills on this:
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.
