CONTESTANT INTERVIEWS
Alex: There is something in Mikki Gibson's recent past that I want to hear about that has to do with your honeymoon and a ritual. Tell 'em.
Mikki: Yes. So my husband and I honeymooned in the Orkney Islands, which are off the north coast of Scotland and there are lots of ancient artifacts there, among them this huge ring of standing stones called the Ring of Brodgar. We were in a little tour group, and the tour guide told us that there's a local legend that if we ran three times counterclockwise around the ring, which was about a kilometer, that we would be expecting a baby within a year. We're not sure if he was pulling our leg or not, but we did it, and it was fun, and it worked.
Alex: Well, in addition to running around three times, there's something else you have to do. I know. I know these things.
[Laughter]
Alex: Penny Reid from Bloomington, Indiana, went on a camping trip, was about to learn how to protect the camp from being ransacked by bears, and while you were learning this, what happened?
Penny: Well, we came back to the campsite, and my mom was there, and we said, "See any bears?" And she was just hysterical and we looked around, and all the coolers were on the ground and the whole place was torn up, and while we had been learning how to safeguard our campsite, it had been ransacked by bears.
[Laughter]
Alex: Great stories today!
Alex: Jen Jabaily Blackburn from Massachusetts. Now, here's a young lady who's really sharp and understands her strengths. Your second job, when you were in college --you quit it, because you realized you could earn more money doing what?
Jen: Playing trivia.
Alex:
Where?
Jen: In bars.
Alex: And did it work out?
Jen: Um, I think it worked a lot of the time.
Alex: So there are a lot of people who put up money in trivia games in bars.
Jen: Worst-case scenario, we get free beer.
[Laughter]
Alex: That's not a bad worst-case scenario. All right, Mikki has command of the board, and she makes the next selection as we continue.
JEOPARDY! ROUND DAILY DOUBLE

ON THE NOSE $1000: This creature seen here has quite the nose
TRIPLE STUMPERS IN THE JEOPARDY! ROUND
TIME FOR ART $1000: When talking about great Trecento art, like the example seen here, Trecento means this period
(Mikki: What is medieval?)
(Alex: We need more than that. Gotta be specific.)
(Jen: What is 13th century?)
...
(Alex: Both of you are hovering around the correct response. Trecento refers to the [*], which means the 14th century.)
ON THE NOSE $200: Though piercing wasn't common among them, the name of this Native American tribe means "pierced nose"
(Jen: What is Perce Nez?)
[Originally ruled correct; ruling rescinded before the Daily Double]
