Mikey McCullough, a librarian from Baltimore, was the big winner of Tuesday’s episode with $18,200, but it was Texas teacher Chris Burge ($3,000) who made headlines, revealing an ongoing battle with cancer live on the show.

McCullough, a data curator at the National Agricultural Library in Beltsville, Burge and Paul Clauson ($2,000), a tax analyst from Michigan, topped the list.

She goes on to test her knowledge on Wednesday, November 20 against a Los Angeles writer and software engineer from Seattle.

It all came down to Final Jeopardy, when McCullough was sitting decently (but not safely) at $20,200, Clauson at a manageable $11,000, and Burge was out of contention except for a $1,600 miracle.

The final clue?

The clue for “Sports & The City” was: “At 800 West Main and 700 Central in this city there is a business and a location that are both involved in Triple Crowns.”
