• Tim, an attorney, is an Arsenal fan;
• Jaclyn, a stay-at-home mom, teaches improv; and
• Jen, an early literacy librarian, who is inspired by the women in her family. Jen is a two-day champ with winnings of $59,201.

Tim led at every commercial break and scored on all three DDs, but he wagered modestly every time, so the game remained alive into FJ with Tim at $22,200 vs. Jen at $13,600 and Jaclyn at $6,000.
