Patrick takes out the DD in the $800 clue about The Elements w/ that one's face value already in his bank; Holly's $200 in the red. He tries for a doubler to $1,600.

Daniel Rutherford discovered this gas that makes up most of the atmosphere & called it "noxious air".

"What is nitrogen?"...yeah. He RUNS After-School Activities to climb to $5K & adds $200 before the recess; Holly's $200 is now on the plus side.

WHO WROTE THAT BOOK?

There's a DD parked in the $1,200 Transportation slot & Holly has taken 1st place w/ $8K, a $2,200 cushion over Patrick. She wagers $1.5K.

In 1784, two Frenchmen built Europe's first flying model of this type of aircraft; its rotors were made of feathers.

"What is...a..helicopter?"...rrrrright to be $500 shy of five figures! And strike up that DD band for the final time this season, since Patrick's got the last one from the $1,600 answer about The Orchestra & has $8,200; he's $3,300 off Holly's lead. He'll go for an extra $2K.

The tuba's made from this metal & belongs to that section of the orchestra.

"What is brass?" is definitely right!

LAST FJ! CATEGORY OF THE SUMMER: Bodies of Water.

This body of water bearing the name of a country borders five U.S. states.

X: "What is the Gulf of Mexico" ($5,400) = $11K
P: SAME AS HER ($7K) = $18K
H: SWEEP (not surprising, seeing as she smiled towards the end of the thinking time)($4K) = $20,700

This yr.. on KW, a RECORD $154.5K in cash was awarded!

That's a wrap for the 29th season of "J!". Let's look back besides Skyler's huge win two nights ago:

-Stephanie became the first female seven-time champ on the second & third weeks of Oct.
-Keith shortly followed her w/ a seven-game run of his own as Halloween came & gone.
-We had a WILD Teen Tournament & in its 2nd semi-final game, all three players bet it all in Final for no reason & lost, resulting in the first WIPEOUT on any "J!" contest (& the first one ever for a tourney semi-final) in nearly a decade & a half. As it turned out, the surprise Wild Card entrant Leonard won the $75K.
-Colby became the first Teachers' Tournament champ to capture the Tournament of Champions crown.
-Two contestants won eight consecutive times during the season- Drew & Ben.

Next season will be their 30th Anniversary season w/ presumably a new set & a few surprises. Until then, that FJ! clue was the Final Answer here for a while.
