Mrs Penguin was out of town when this aired, so we just got around to seeing it. It more than merits a fourth podium poll, even a belated one. It's not just possible to win from the fourth podium, it's possible to have a runaway going into FJ.
Obviously at this remove you're not going to remember which ones you got right, so just play the clues fresh and see how you do. The poll includes the contestants' wrong and non- responses to indicate where you'd have extra time to find the correct info in your head. This was helpful to me on the Port Authority bus station clue. Like Travis, I rang in (mentally, in my case) and then blanked. But once he was done hemming and hawing, I knew what to say. Similarly, Nipun's incorrect response of "Nimitz" kept me from ringing in on the $2000 ADMIRABLE ADMIRALS clue. I'm not sure if I'd have rung in, but that's definitely what I would have guessed if I had. Since Nipun headed me off, I clammed and don't have to take $2000 off my score.
Here are the scores going into and coming out of FJ:
Travis Gaylord: 5000+201=5201
Kathryn Flucht: 2400-2399=1
Nipun Tulshian: 5200-5200=0
Travis is the only one who got FJ right, so if you can put together $10,001, you're bulletproof. Let us know in the comments whether you did this before or after FJ.
