So far, it's been a roller coaster week. This past Monday had three wrong guesses on the Tossups while last night had a SEASON-WORST of NINE BANKRUPTS (three per player). Let's hope we have minimal to zero of these problems tonight.

This quote is from the novel "Moby Dick" and Dawn solves "THERE SHE BLOWS!". Wednesday's trio...
Dawn Clark: administrative assistant from Omaha, NE; in addition, she watches the show with her brother and sister, and whoever solved the bonus puzzle first each night would boss the other two around
Ashley Fisher: hotel sales manager in L.A. from Burbank, CA (originally from Plano, TX)
Pete Kempen: Rock Ledge intermediate school principal from Seymour, WI
$2,000 Tossup - PEOPLE
