DD2 – $800 – THE VICE PRESIDENT WHO… – had Seattle’s county named after him, though it was later renamed (with the same name) for a civil rights leader (Steven added $6,000 to his score of $12,600 vs. $9,600 for Andrew.)

DD3 – $1,600 – WEIGHTS & MEASURES – This system of weight used for gold is named for a city in medieval France, not ancient Turkey (Two clues after DD2, Steven added $5,000 to his total of $20,600 vs. $9,600 for Andrew.)

Steven broke open a close game by scoring on both DDs in DJ, earning enough for a runaway at $29,200 vs. $13,400 for Michelle and $8,800 for Andrew.
