Game Recap for Show #7314, 2016-06-02
CONTESTANTS
Ed Brown, a lighting designer from Pasadena, California
Ariel Watkins, a graduate student from Monterey, California
Kelly Bayles, a librarian from Tulsa, Oklahoma (whose 1-day cash winnings total $16,900)
OPENING REMARKS
Alex: Thanks, Johnny. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome. I hope you caught it on yesterday's program. There was a beautiful moment at the end of Double Jeopardy! when Kelly looked up at the scoreboard and saw that she had twice as much money as either of her opponents, which meant the game is a runaway. She cannot be caught. She's going to win. You can't imagine how good that makes you feel going into Final Jeopardy! It doesn't happen all the time. We'll see what happens today as she faces Ariel and Ed. Good luck, players. Here comes the Jeopardy! Round. And here come the categories. First off...

CONTESTANT INTERVIEWS
Alex: Ed Brown is a lighting designer from Pasadena, California, who once had a strange thing happen during a production of The Nutcracker. Did it have to do with lighting?
Ed: Well, not really, but we had a--it was a low budget production. We used, for the snow effect, instant mashed potato flakes and colanders with fans underneath them. Twice during the pre-show check, I turned it on while the stage hands were mopping and made drifts of mashed potatoes across the stage.
[Laughter]
Alex: So good snow, good snow.
Ed: It was very sticky, yes.
Alex: Yes.
Alex: Ariel Watkins is a graduate student from Monterey, California, who lived in Tanzania for a couple of years. What were you doing there?
Ariel: I was teaching English at a high school. I was out in the boonies. They didn't have enough qualified English teachers. So I was living with no electricity, no running water, um, teaching high school students proper grammar.
Alex: Good for you.
Alex: Kelly Bayles is our champion. She's a librarian. And she has two different colored eyes. How does this happen?
Kelly: Um, it's just a genetic thing. I've heard it's kind of like having a birthmark on your eye.
Alex: So when you have to deal with people who say, "I prefer being with brown-eyed people," and other folks who say, "I prefer being with blue-eyed people," you fit in.
Kelly: Yeah, you're like, "Have I got news for you!"
Alex: Yeah.
[Laughter]
