07:41Sorry.

07:43Liz, have you a guess?
07:45Laguna Beach.
07:47Huntington.
07:48We're looking for Huntington Beach.
07:50Well, that's the end of the round, players.
07:53Our top player with 700 points is Jeff, followed immediately by Susanna with 600 points.
07:59And we have to say goodbye to our returning champion, Liz.
08:02You are a great champion.
08:04$20,000 is what you're taking home.
08:08Coming up next, The Pursuit continues as Jeff and Susanna go head-to-head, a chance to move on and play for $20,000 right here on The Pursuit.
08:18Welcome back to Trivial Pursuit.
08:31Jeff and Susanna have just dethroned our returning champion and have made it here to the next round.
08:36So, let's get to know them a little bit better.
08:39Jeff, you're in the fashion industry.
08:42I work in receiving areas, stocking, booking in.
08:45I receive items from the trucks.
08:47I make sure they're in good condition.
08:48They're the same quantity on the packing list.
08:50And they're good to go.
08:51So, you're not on the runway.
08:53I'm not like a model, no way.
08:55I wish I am, but I'm not.
08:56It was great to have you here, Jeff.
08:58Thanks, LaVar.
08:59Susanna, you are a writer, and I love writers.
09:04What is it that you write?
09:05One of the places that I really got to enjoy was starting to write obituaries, actually.
09:11And it's a wonderful way of getting to know a lot about a person in a short time.
09:16It's great.
09:17It's not easy to encapsulate a person's entire life in a paragraph or two.
09:22And it's an honor, really letting more people know who this person was.
09:26Sounds like fulfilling work.
09:27Well done.
09:28Best of luck to both of you.
09:30Let's get back to the game.
09:31In this round, you're going to be answering multiple choice questions, working your way
09:36through the categories one more time.
09:38But this time, each correct answer is worth an escalating value from 200 points to 1,000 points.
09:45Now, you both selected the order of the categories that you'll be playing, and you picked one category
09:51that you didn't want to play at all.
09:53And Jeff, I see that you have elected not to play entertainment and selected geography as your 1,000-point question.
10:01I choose geography because I'm good at memorizing the bodies of water, the mountains, all the countries, a little bit of the continents.
10:09That sounds like you are ready.
10:11I see you have opted to skip sports and leisure, and you've chosen art and literature as your 1,000-point question.
10:19What's going on with that strategy?
10:20You know, I like sports.
10:21I'm excellent at leisure.
10:23But I really like, you know, arts.
10:28I'm a musician.
10:29And also, I read a lot.
10:31So I'm hoping that that'll come my way.
10:34I hope so, too.
10:35But whichever one of you has the most points at the end of this round, we'll be moving on to the final pursuit to play for $20,000.
10:44All right.
10:45All right.
10:46The pursuit began.
10:47Susanna, you are trailing by 100 points, so you'll be going first.
10:54For 200 points, Susanna, here is your multiple-choice question in science and nature.
11:01Snakes are which type of animal?
11:05Carnivores, herbivores, or omnivores?
11:09Just like Indiana Jones, why did it have to be snakes?
11:15I'm famously not fond of snakes.
11:19Um, I believe they are carnivores.
11:23Let's see if you're right.
11:26You are indeed correct.
11:28So, Jeff, moving over to you.
11:30Here is your multiple-choice question for 200 points.
11:34And your category of choice is sports and leisure.
11:38Founded in 1877, which is the oldest Grand Slam tennis tournament?
11:44Is it the Australian Open, the U.S. Open, or Wimbledon?
11:50I sometimes watch the tennis tournaments, even though I don't follow all of them.
11:56So, my gut is telling me it's Wimbledon.
11:59My final answer is Wimbledon.
12:01Jeff, let's see if you're right.
12:03Wimbledon is correct.
12:07Coming to you, Susannah.
12:09For 400 points, the category is geography.
12:13Where was the notorious penal colony Devil's Island located?
12:18Was it French Guiana, Haiti, or the Ivory Coast?
12:23I'm pretty sure it was French Guiana.
12:27I just know that I wouldn't want to go there.
12:29So, let's go with French Guiana.
12:32Let's see if you're right.
12:35French Guiana, it is.
12:37Jeff, here is your 400-point question in your category of science and nature.
12:44Which of these virtual digital assistants was released first?
12:49Was it Alexa, Cortana, or Siri?
12:53Hmm.
12:54All of these, I believe, were released in the 2010s.
12:58I'm going to take a wild guess on this one here.
13:01I'll say Cortana.
13:04Jeff, let's see if your guess is right.
13:07Hmm.
13:09It was Siri.
13:11Here, Susannah, is your 600-point question in your category of history.
13:18Russian Tsar Peter the Great set loose a fashion police on his citizens to enforce a tax on which style?
13:26Was it beards, ties, or trousers?
13:32Well, I think every picture I've seen of Russian people, particularly in the winter, includes trousers.
13:37So let's keep that one.
13:40And I've just heard this in a bunch of different places.
13:43It's beards.
13:44Susannah, let's see if you're right.
13:49Beards, it was.
13:50Well done, Susannah.
13:51You have leaked 900 points ahead of Jeff.
13:54Alrighty, sir.
13:55For 600 points, which you need, Jeff, in your category of art and literature,
14:02what American-born poet penned the poem The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock?
14:09E.E. Cummings, T.S. Eliot, for W.H. Auden.
14:14Okay, I can certainly eliminate W.H. Auden because he's British-born.
14:19So it's a toss-up between E.E. Cummings and T.S. Eliot.
14:23Not good at poetry, but I remember reading a little bit about this author for this poem.
14:29My answer is T.S. Eliot, and I'll lock that in.
14:33Alright, Jeff, let's see if you're right.
14:36T.S. Eliot, indeed. Well done, sir.
14:40Only 300 points separate you and Susannah now.
14:42Here, Susannah, is your 800-point question in the category of entertainment.
14:49On the animated series Family Guy, which breed of dog is Brian?
14:56Beagle?
14:58Bernese Mountain Dog?
15:00Or Labrador Retriever?
15:03That is a tough one.
15:05Because if you think about Peanuts and Snoopy's supposed to be Beagle,
15:09and that does not look anything like a Beagle.
15:12I mean, he could be a Lab.
15:14Let's go with Bernese Mountain Dog, just because sometimes when there's one that doesn't seem like it fits in there,
15:19you have to wonder why it's in there.
15:21Let's see if you're right.
15:26He's a Labrador Retriever.
15:28Jeff, here's an opportunity for you to pull ahead.
15:32Okay.
15:33Here, Jeff, is your 800-point question in the category of history.
15:40In 1849, Elizabeth Blackwell gained fame for being the first U.S. woman to earn a degree in which field?
15:49Was that business, law, or medicine?
15:53Well, I do know the name, so I can safely eliminate business and law.
16:00My answer is medicine.
16:03Let's see if you're right, Jeff.
16:06Okay.
16:08Indeed.
16:10Susannah, if you don't get this correct, Jeff, we'll move on to the final pursuit.
16:16No pressure.
16:17Here is your 1,000-point question, the category you selected, art and literature.
16:25Who appeared on the first cover of Rolling Stone magazine in 1967?
16:31Was it Aretha Franklin, John Lennon, or Mick Jagger?
16:38I'm pretty sure that I've seen this one.
16:42Let's say John Lennon.
16:43If you are correct, Susannah, you stay in the game.
16:47If not, Jeff plays for the $20,000.
16:53Indeed, it is.
16:55Well done, Susannah.
16:57Jeff, Susannah took the lead with that answer.
17:01You have to get this right, or else Susannah is going to move on to the final pursuit and play for $20,000.
17:08Here is your 1,000-point question in your category of geography.
17:15What national park has an uninhabited area called the Zone of Death, where, in theory, no one could be convicted of murder?
17:26Is that the Great Smoky Mountains, Joshua Tree, or Yellowstone?
17:32Um, never heard of Zone of Death.
17:37Could have been someone who, um, hiked a mountain and just fell down, I think.
17:44I've been to Yellowstone a few times.
17:46Hope to get lucky on this one.
17:48So I'm going to say Yellowstone is my answer.
17:50Hope it's right.
17:52This is for the win.
17:53Oh, boy.
17:56Indeed, Yellowstone is the answer.
17:59Oh, wow. Oh, boy.
18:00Congratulations, Jeff.
18:01Thanks, LaVar.
18:02You are moving on to play for the $20,000.
18:05Susannah, you played a strong game. It was great to have you with us.
18:08Thanks so much.
18:09Jeff, why don't you join me here?
18:12When we come back, we'll see if Jeff can conquer all six categories in the final pursuit.
18:18$20,000 right here on Trivial Pursuit.
18:21Welcome back. I'm here with Jeff, who outplayed his opponents and has made it here to the final pursuit for a chance to win $20,000.
18:43Jeff.
18:45Have you thought about what you might do with this money should you win it?
18:47Oh, yes, LaVar. If I were to win $20,000, I'd collect coins. So I always pay my collection with gold coins.
18:54Wow. Coin collector, numesticist.
18:57Yes.
18:58Well, Jeff, all that stands between you and more coins and the $20,000 are our six Trivial Pursuit categories.
19:06You will have 45 seconds. You will earn $1,000 for each correct answer. And if you answer all six questions correctly, you will win the $20,000.
19:19So to aid in your pursuit, I want you to pick the first category that you're going to be playing.
19:25So I'm going to start off with entertainment, please.
19:27Entertainment you'll start off with.
19:28Yes.
19:29All right. Let's put 45 seconds on the clock.
19:35The time will begin, Jeff, as soon as I finish reading the first question. All right? Good luck.

28:44You're moving on.
28:45And Rajiv, it was great having you here to play our game with us.
28:49Thank you for having me.
28:50Coming up next, the pursuit continues as Ardina and Jeff will go head-to-head with a chance
28:56to move on and play for $20,000 right here on Trivial Pursuit.
29:01Welcome back to Trivial Pursuit, y'all.
29:14Ardina and our returning champion Jeff have made it here to the next round.
29:19So, let's get to know them a little bit better.
29:22Our returning champion Jeff, you're really putting it down out there.
29:26I am.
29:27Are you having a good time?
29:28I'm having a good time.
29:29I've won earlier today, so why not do it again?
29:32It's fun.
29:33So why not?
29:34Why not do it again?
29:35But I got to tell you, we have quite the competitor for you.
29:38Ardina, you are a great trivia player.
29:41Does that come from some area of your life or you just know stuff?
29:45I've just always been inquisitive and always wanted to know things and was nosy and just
29:49learned things, watched a lot of TV, movies, everything, read books.
29:53Can you say that again?
29:54Sorry.
29:55Read what?
29:56Read books.
29:57Read books.
29:58Oh, yes.
29:59I grew up on a little show.
30:00Somebody probably knows.
30:01Well, the best of luck to both of you.
30:03In this round, you're going to be answering multiple choice questions, working your way
30:07through the categories once more.
30:09But this time, each correct answer is worth an escalating value of 200 to 1,000 points.
30:17And you both selected the order of the categories that you're going to be playing.
30:21And you picked one category that you wanted to stay away from altogether.
30:25And Ardina, I see that you have elected not to play sports and leisure.
30:32And you selected entertainment as your 1,000-point category.
30:36Tell me what's going on there.
30:38I'm obsessed with pop culture, so that's always my best subject.
30:41Obsessed with pop culture is a good thing for the category of entertainment.
30:46And Jeff, you've picked the same path again.
30:50You are skipping entertainment.
30:52And your favorite category, geography, is how you want to finish for 1,000 points.
30:57Yes.
30:58You feel very strongly about those choices, don't you?
31:00I've done it once before, so it works.
31:02Why not do it again?
31:03Whichever one of you has the most points at the end of this round
31:07will move on to the final pursuit to play for $20,000?
31:13Let the pursuit begin.
31:18Jeff, you are trailing by 200 points, so you'll be going first.
31:22For 200 points, here is your multiple-choice question in the category of sports and leisure.
31:29Which player was selected number one overall in the 2025 WNBA draft?
31:36Was it Aaliyah Boston, Cameron Brink, or Paige Beckers?
31:42Well, I have not watched the draft recently, but I saw on the news that she is selected to the Dallas Wings.
31:50Paige Beckers is my answer.
31:53Jeff, let's see if you're right.
31:58Paige Beckers it is.
31:59Drafted by the Dallas Wings.
32:01Well done.
32:02To you, Ardina, 200 points for your multiple-choice question in history.
32:07Which first lady initiated the Let's Move program to help solve childhood obesity?
32:13Was it Laura Bush, Melania Trump, or Michelle Obama?
32:19Oh, so this one, I actually know.
32:21It was so controversial.
32:23I'm going to go with Michelle Obama.
32:26We're going to see if you're right.
32:29Well done.
32:30All right, Jeff.
32:31Here is your 400-point question in the category science and nature.
32:36The prestigious Marconi Awards are named for the inventor of what?
32:41Film, radio, television.
32:46I'm 100% positive on this one here.
32:49The answer is radio.
32:50Name after for the inventor, Guillermo Marconi.
32:53So radio is my answer.
32:55Let's see if you're right.
32:58Well done, brother.
33:00Ardina, here is your 400-point question also in science and nature.
33:06Which of these social networking websites came first?
33:12Friendster, LinkedIn, or Six Degrees?
33:17Ooh, this is hard.
33:20These are sites I really don't think about very often.
33:23This is hard.
33:26So the one I'm most familiar with is LinkedIn, because everybody's on LinkedIn.
33:31It's the Facebook of jobs.
33:33But I don't really know the other two very well.
33:37So I'm just going to final answer, go with LinkedIn.
33:41Okay, Ardina, let's see if you're right.
33:45Sorry, it was Six Degrees.
33:48Jeff, this is an opportunity for you to get some points on her.
33:51Okay.
33:52For 600 points, Jeff, your category is art and literature.
33:58With millions of copies sold worldwide,
34:00what graphic novel depicts author Marjan Satrapi's childhood in Iran?
34:07Nimona, Persepolis, or Roland?
34:12I have never heard of that author.
34:16I'm just going to take a stab at it and I'll say Nimona.
34:18Let's see if you're right, Jeff.
34:23It was Persepolis.
34:25Here is an opportunity for you, Ardina.
34:28He leads by 200 points.
34:30Here is your 600-point question.
34:33In the category of art and literature.
34:37In 2017, what short story about a bad date went viral after it was published in The New Yorker?
34:44Was it Cat Person?
34:47Me Before You?
34:49The Love Hypothesis.
34:51Um, so I don't believe it's Me Before You because that was a movie.
34:55It's more of a caretaker movie.
34:57I'm going to go with Cat Person.
34:59Final answer.
35:01All right, Ardina.
35:03Let's see if you're right.
35:05You got it right.
35:06Here we come to you, Jeff.
35:10Here is your 800-point question.
35:13In the category of history, which former FBI director was fired from the position in 2017?
35:21Was that James Comey, Lewis Free, or Robert Mueller?
35:26Well, I watched it on the news years ago, and I think that James Comey is the one that's fired from that position, so I'll say James Comey.
35:38All right, Jeff. Let's see if you're right.
35:42Indeed, James Comey.
35:44Ardina, here we go.
35:46Here is your 800-point question.
35:49In geography, which of these Central American countries is closest to the equator?
35:57Is it El Salvador, Honduras, or Panama?
36:02Um, so I do believe Panama is the southernmost country in Central America.
36:09I'm going with Panama.
36:11Ardina, let's see if you're right.
36:14She knows her geography. Well done.
36:16All righty, Jeff. For 1,000 points, in geography.
36:22Now occupied by dozens of six-toed cats, in which Florida city can you find the Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum?
36:32In Key Biscayne, in Key Largo, or Key West?
36:38I don't believe it's Key Largo.
36:41Don't think it's Key Biscayne.
36:43I'm just going to say Key West. That's my answer.
36:48Jeff, let's see if you're right.
36:51I hope so.
36:54Well done.
36:56You're a geography maven, Jeff.
36:57I am.
36:58You are.
37:00If you get this, you will dethrone a very strong champion.
37:06And move on to the final round to play for $20,000.
37:10Here is your question for 1,000 points in the category Entertainment.
37:15Before becoming a 1960s icon, which of these rockers briefly served as a paratrooper in the U.S. Army?
37:25Was it Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, or Sly Stone?
37:29Ooh, this is hard.
37:32Um, okay.
37:34I do not know this.
37:36Oh, my God.
37:38Um, so my gut is telling me Jimi Hendrix.
37:41Um, I know, ooh, Jim Morrison, Paris loves him.
37:44He might have been in Europe, too.
37:45I don't know.
37:46Um, okay.
37:47I'm just going with it.
37:49Um, Jimi Hendrix is my final answer.
37:51All right, Ardina.
37:52We're going to see if you're right.
37:57Hendrix, it is.
37:58He was in the 101st before being discharged a year later.
38:02Congratulations, Ardina.
38:03You're moving on to play for $20,000.
38:08Jeff, you are a strong player and were a great champion.
38:12And you're going home with $20,000 from your win.
38:15Thank you, LeVar.
38:16Great having you with us.
38:18Thanks for playing.
38:19Ardina, will you join me over here?
38:23When we come back,

38:51She has made it here to the final pursuit for her chance to play for $20,000.
38:59Ardina, any thoughts of what you might do with $20,000 if you win?
39:02Yes, sir.
39:03I am going to take my husband on a trip to Japan because he is very into Japanese culture and anime.
39:10And that is his dream visit, like place to visit.
39:13So I'm very excited. I'm going to do it all up for him.
39:15I love that.
