Double Jeopardy!

BESTSELLERS // THE AGE OF STALIN // ALL THE SCIENCE // “GG” WHIZ // GOTTA DANCE! // POP CULTURE BEFORE & AFTER

DD2 – $1,200 – GOTTA DANCE! – This 1920s swing dance includes the nickname of a hero of the time (With $15,000 and a large lead, Curtis lost $1,000.)

DD3 – $1,600 – BESTSELLERS – Most of this 2017 experimental novel by George Saunders takes place at Oak Hill Cemetery in Washington in 1862 (Siobhan dropped $1,600 from her score of $5,400 vs. $14,000 for Curtis.)

Curtis led at every break and had a large advantage when he found DD2, made a small bet and missed. That strategy worked out well, as Curtis scored a narrow runaway into FJ at $15,600 vs. $7,400 for Betty and $5,400 for Siobhan.
