We’re back for our first Pope-less evening in several days!
Matt straight-up dominated this one; he’s got $35,000 of house money to play with heading into Final.

Matt knows a lot, but as I discuss in my video tonight, he got plenty of help from his opponents in racking up that big total:
What actually happened

Good wagers all around. Matt has now won 2 games and $51,200.

I would like to point out, however, that Matt had a Coryat score of 29200, so without daily doubles he still would have had more than twice Vicki’s score (although she could have gotten the Daily Doubles too of course).
True, but don’t forget he wouldn’t have had as high a Coryat had someone else found one or more DDs, since he wouldn’t have had the ability to respond to those clues.
