03:11Got to get our champion into it.
03:13So we're going to reload our six categories once again and see how many more points and wedges y'all

05:19Chris, you're right behind her with 400.
05:21And our champion, Anand, needs to catch up.
05:24He's got 200 points, so let's just reload our categories one last time.

07:48You're both moving on.
07:50And Anand, you are a terrific champion, brother.
07:52Thank you so much for playing with us tonight and for going home with $5,000.
08:00Coming up next, the pursuit continues as Genevieve and Chris go head to head for a chance to move
08:06on and play for $20,000 right here on Trivial Pursuit.
08:21Welcome back to Trivial Pursuit.
08:23Genevieve and Chris have dethroned our returning champion and have made it here to the next round,
08:29so let's get to know them a little bit better.
08:32Genevieve, clearly your trivia skills are on point.
08:35Do you come by this knowledge naturally or do you have some sort of a system?
08:39I would say I come by it fairly naturally.
08:41I've got a big family cheering for me at home.
08:43We always watch game shows, especially trivia together, every night at dinner.
08:48I'm sure they're watching and cheering right now, probably fact-checking me a little bit,
08:51but it keeps me on my toes.
08:52Well, that might explain why you're so good.
08:55And Chris, you are a teacher of technology.
08:59Part of the reason that I'm a teacher of technology is because of you.
09:03I was a fan of Star Trek The Next Generation.
09:08Geordi was a character that I would follow,
09:09and it made me want to jump into science and tech.
09:13I thank you for my career path.
09:19Thank you, Chris. I really appreciate you.
09:21Best of luck to you both players. Let's get back to the game.
09:25In this round, you're going to be answering multiple-choice questions,
09:29working your way through the categories once again,
09:31only this time, each correct answer is worth an escalating value from 200 to 1,000 points.
09:37Now, you both have selected the order of the categories that you're going to be playing,
09:41and you've each picked a category that you don't want to play.
09:46So, Genevieve, I see that you have elected not to play sports and leisure,
09:51and you've selected art and literature as your 1,000-point question.
09:56Clue me in on your strategy here.
09:57I'm really comfortable in art and literature. I love to read.
10:00It was the thing I wanted to give the most points to.
10:02Let's hope that pays off for you, okay?
10:04Chris, I see that you've opted to skip sports and leisure as well,
10:09and have chosen history as your 1,000-point category.
10:13I'm going to disappoint a lot of people at home, especially my dad,
10:17but history is my big subject.
10:21I would make any sports fan feel bad for my knowledge of sports, so I'm sorry.
10:25I have a pretty good feeling that if you win the $20,000, Pops is going to be okay.
10:31Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
10:32All right, players, whichever one of you has the most points at the end of this round,
10:37we'll be moving on to the final pursuit to play for $20,000.
10:43Is everybody there?
10:44Then let the pursuit begin.
10:49Chris, you're trailing Genevieve by 100 points, so you will be going first, sir.
10:55For 200 points, Chris, here is your multiple-choice question in geography.
11:00In Korea, what occurs during a doorjabi ritual traditionally performed on a child's first birthday?
11:09The child is given a pet, the child predicts its future, but the child's head is shaved.
11:16I'm thinking about this one.
11:19I'm looking at the answers, and I don't think a first birthday or a one-year-old child could predict
11:27their future.
11:27I'm going to go with the head being shaven.
11:33Chris, let's see if you're right.
11:38The child does indeed predict its future.
11:42Genevieve, here is your 200-point question in the category of entertainment.
11:48Which of these primetime television franchises was created by Dick Wolf?
11:55CSI, FBI, or NCIS?
12:01So I'm a big fan of the Law & Order franchises, which I know Dick Wolf created.
12:05I don't see Law & Order up here.
12:08So thinking through it, I think that CSI is on a totally different network.
12:13And I also think that NCIS was a spinoff from JAG.
12:17FBI I don't know as much about, but because I'm not eliminating it, that's what I'm going to go with.
12:21So I'll say FBI.
12:25Genevieve, let's see if you're right.
12:30Chris, she's got 300 points on you.
12:33Here we come to you with your 400-point question in the category of entertainment.
12:40Which of these is a real album released by Spinal Tap?
12:45Blood on the Drums, Break Like the Wind, or Fat Chance?
12:52Ooh.
12:53My karaoke people are going to get me if I don't know this one.
12:56I remember the movie.
12:58I'm going to go with...
13:03Blood on the Drums.
13:07Chris, let's see if you're right.
13:11Break Like the Wind.
13:13Remember, this was Spinal Tap.
13:16All right, Genevieve, here's an opportunity for you to really put some distance between you and Chris.
13:22For 400 points in the category of geography.
13:28The tallest sand dunes in North America are found in Great Sand Dunes National Park in which state?
13:35Arizona, Colorado, or New Mexico?
13:40So I haven't been to Great Sand Dunes.
13:43My first thought was that it was somewhere out west with a desert, but these all came up in my
13:49mind.
13:51Um...
13:54And I'm not really sure if there's a great way for me to narrow it down beyond that.
13:59You know, the first thing that came to my mind was Arizona.
14:02It's an answer up there, so I'm going to lock in Arizona.
14:07Genevieve, let's see if you're right.
14:11Right next door, Colorado.
14:13Chris, she's left the door open for you for 600 points in the category of art and literature.
14:21Which of these is considered a romance language?
14:26German, Romanian, or Russian?
14:31Let's see. I remember taking my romance languages in school.
14:39And...
14:42Romanian looks like an obvious choice.
14:46But I'm looking at German.
14:49Final answer.
14:52Chris, let's see if you're right.
14:57Your first inclination, Romanian, is the correct answer.
15:01Romanian.
15:02Genevieve, your next question in history for 600 points.
15:08The Eiffel Tower was the tallest structure in the world until...
15:14Which New York skyscraper surpassed it in 1930?
15:1730 Rockefeller Plaza, Chrysler Building, or the Woolworth Building?
15:22So I'm not entirely sure.
15:24I know that none of these are the tallest structures in the world anymore.
15:28But I was thinking the Chrysler Building before this came up.
15:32So I'm going to go with Chrysler Building and lock that in.
15:35Let's see if you're right.
15:38You are right, the Chrysler Building.
15:41Chris, you need this one to keep it close.
15:45For 800 points in the category, Science and Nature.
15:50The snood is a fleshy appendage that changes color and size according to the mood of which animal?
15:57The anglerfish, an iguana, or a turkey?
16:02Ooh.
16:06The animal that popped up in my head when I was looking at this was something that you could probably
16:12see through.
16:14Um...
16:16I feel anglerfish, so I'm going to go with it.
16:22Chris, let's see if you're right.
16:27The turkey has a snood that reflects its mood.
16:30Genevieve, you get this answer correct.
16:34Chris will not be able to catch up with you, sending you automatically to the final round to play for
16:39$20,000.
16:41Good luck. Here is your 800-point question in the category, Science and Nature.
16:48Which of these enormous numbers is the largest?
16:53Centillion, quadrillion, or septillion?
16:57Okay.
16:59So...
17:00I know that quadrillion is four.
17:04Rillion.
17:06Septillion seems like it would be with a seven.
17:09But centi is 100.
17:11So that seems like a lot more with the suffix on it.
17:17So I'm going to go with centillion.
17:19Final answer.
17:21To move on to the next round, Genevieve, let's see if you're right.
17:28Centillion, it is.
17:29And Genevieve, you are moving on to play for $20,000.
17:34Chris, you're a very strong player, brother.
17:36It was great having you with us.
17:39Genevieve, why don't you join me over here?
17:45Well done.
17:46When we come back, we'll see if Genevieve can conquer all six categories in the final pursuit for $20,000
17:53right here.
17:54On Trivial Pursuit.
18:06Welcome back. I'm here with Genevieve, who has managed to outplay her opponents and has made it here to the
18:13final pursuit for a chance to win $20,000.
18:19Well, Genevieve, I know it's all kind of fast and furious, but have you had an opportunity to think about
18:24what you might do with the money if you win?
18:27Yeah, so my dad is retiring this year, and it would be so nice to do something special with him.
18:32He loves nature and the national parks. So I thought a trip to somewhere like Arches or Zion would just
18:38be really special.
18:39Take your dad on a special trip. Love that. Genevieve, all that stands between you and the $20,000 in
18:47that trip with your father are our six Trivial Pursuit categories.
18:51You will have 45 seconds, and you will earn $1,000 for each correct answer. And if you answer six
18:58questions, that's one correct answer in each of our categories, you are going to go home with $20,000.
19:05So to help with your pursuit, I want you to choose the first category that you want to play.
19:11Purple, art and literature.
19:13If you get any incorrect, Genevieve, you can always circle back to those categories, provided there's time on the clock.
19:20Genevieve, it's time for your final pursuit. Let's put 45 seconds on the clock, please.
19:29Your time will begin as soon as I finish reading the first question.
19:33Okay.

20:30And you're gonna play again right now.
20:32So let's get you ready to meet your next opponent, shall we?
20:35Here we go.

20:40Amber, introduce yourselves, please.
20:42I'm Carlos, a social services volunteer coordinator from Cedar Park, Texas.
20:48I'm Amber, an author from New York City.
20:51Welcome to the game, Carlos and Amber.

20:58So, I hope you have brought your best games.

27:52New York Knicks.
27:52New York Knicks is correct.
27:54And Amber, you have forced a tiebreaker.
27:59Now, here's how it's going to work.
28:01I'm going to read one question in a randomly selected category.
28:05The first one to ring in and get it correct will join Carlos and his 700 points in the next
28:11round.
28:12If you ring in, ladies, and are incorrect, then your opponent will be moving on.
28:17Here is your tiebreaker question.

28:38Amber, you were a lovely contestant.
28:40Thanks for playing with us tonight.
28:42Coming up next, the pursuit continues as Carlos and Genevieve go head-to-head with a chance to move on
28:49and play for $20,000 right here on Trivial Pursuit.
29:04Welcome back to Trivial Pursuit.
29:07Carlos and our returning champion Genevieve have made it to the next round, so let's get to know them a
29:13little bit better.
29:13Now Genevieve, we know that your family is at home rooting for you and that when you play together, you
29:18fact check one another.
29:20How do you think they think you're doing?
29:23I think they think I'm doing pretty great.
29:26You know, especially my husband Troy has always been there for me, is so supportive, and I know that he's
29:33also playing along at home.
29:34Well, we hope they are continuing to play along at home with you.
29:38Carlos, you have exceedingly good skills in the trivia game, sir. Where did they come from?
29:45Yeah, I majored in seven different subjects in college. I couldn't decide what I wanted to do, so I started
29:51as a music performance major, went through botany and geographic information services, and finally settled on a degree in Japanese.
30:00Those are very different subjects to master.
30:04Well, I wouldn't say I mastered them, but intermediate knowledge really helps.
30:09It's really served you well.
30:11All right, the best of luck to both of you as we move forward. Let's get back to the game.
30:16In this round, we're going to be answering multiple choice questions, working your way through the categories once again, but
30:22this time, each correct answer is worth an escalating value from 200 to 1,000 points.
30:28Now, you've both selected the order of the categories that you'll be playing, and you've picked one category that you
30:35didn't want to play at all.
30:37So, Carlos, I see that you have elected not to play sports and leisure, and you've selected geography as your
30:441,000-point category.
30:45Tell me the strategy behind that.
30:47When I was 12 years old, I was in the National Geography Bee, and I was the runner-up.
30:51Geography has always been my strong suit.
30:53Very impressive, sir.
30:55And Genevieve, you have elected to not play sports and leisure as well, and your 1,000-point category is
31:03art and literature.
31:05This is the same path that has led you to be our champion.
31:09It served me well before. I just want to get the whole way there again.
31:12Whichever one of you has the most points at the end of this round, we'll move on to the final
31:18pursuit to play for $20,000.
31:22Y'all ready?
31:23Ready.
31:23Oh.
31:24Let the pursuit begin.
31:29Genevieve, you are trailing Carlos by 200 points, so you will be going first for 200 points in entertainment.
31:39In the film Jurassic World, Blue, Charlie, Delta, and Echo are which genus of dinosaur?
31:48Brachiosaurus, Tyrannosaurus, or Velociraptor?
31:52So I've seen Jurassic Park. I haven't seen Jurassic World.
31:57My thought is Brachiosaurus are really big, so I'm not sure that they would have a ton of them in
32:03the movie.
32:04There are both T-Rex and Velociraptors in Jurassic Park.
32:09I'm going to go with guessing that there were more Velociraptors.
32:13They're the really little mean ones.
32:14So I'm going to say Velociraptor and lock that in.
32:18Let's see if you're right.
32:22You know your dinosaurs.
32:25Carlos, coming to you for 200 points, your multiple choice question in entertainment.
32:31Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane also created which of these other animated series?
32:37American Dad, Bob's Burgers, or Futurama?
32:43Futurama is Matt Groening.
32:45I don't know the name of Bob's Burgers creator, but I do know that Seth MacFarlane created American Dad.
32:53That is my lock-in.
32:54Said with confidence.
32:58American Dad is correct.
33:01Genevieve, he's got 200 points on you.
33:04Here is your question for 400 points in the category of Geography.
33:10Known for its Mars-like landscape, the Wadi Rum Desert is located in which country?
33:16Australia, Jordan, or Mali?
33:21I'm not super sure about this.
33:24Wadi sounds to me like something that could be from Arabic.
33:29So I'm going to eliminate Australia.
33:31And I know that there is definitely desert in Jordan.
33:35It seems like there could be in Mali as well.
33:38I'll go with Jordan.
33:41Genevieve.
33:42Let's see if you're right.
33:45Jordan is Carlos.
33:48She has surged ahead now by 200 points.
33:51Here, sir, is your 400-point question in the category of Art and Literature.
33:58The Madonna de la Pieza was sculpted by which Renaissance artist?
34:04Donatello, Michelangelo, or Raphael?
34:09Raphael, I know more from paintings.
34:11And I'm fairly certain the Pieta was a famous work by Michelangelo.
34:18Lock it in.
34:19Carlos, let's see if you're right.
34:23You studied everything and it's showing such a tight game.
34:28200 points continue to separate the two of you.
34:31Genevieve, here is your 600-point question in the category of History.
34:37Established in 1829, which beer brand owns the title of America's oldest active brewery?
34:47Coors, Pabst, or Yingling?
34:51So all of these are fairly historic brands.
34:58I'm not 100% sure.
35:01I'm not a beer drinker myself.
35:04Different parts of this are speaking to me.
35:07You know, I know Pabst and Blue Ribbon sounds like an older style thing.
35:11But also there's something about Yingling that's grabbing me.
35:17I'm gonna go with Yingling.
35:20Let's see if you're right.
35:23Your family would be proud.
35:25You don't drink it, but you certainly recognize it when you see it.
35:28Carlos, back to you, sir.
35:31Here is your 600-point question in the category of Science and Nature.
35:38What is the term for the condition where a human's second toe is longer than their big toe?
35:46Maxwell's toe, Milo's toe, or Morton's toe?
35:51Ooh.
35:53This is a very interesting anatomy question.
35:55And you're asking me which of these three people's names I need to pick.
36:02Ooh.
36:03Oh, goodness.
36:05I might just go with my gut and just go with Maxwell's toe.
36:13Carlos, let's see if you're right.
36:18The orthopedic surgeon that was named for it is Morton.
36:22Genevieve, here is an opportunity for you to surge ahead of Carlos.
36:27Here then, Genevieve, is your 800-point question in the category of Science and Nature.
36:34What animal welfare advocate documented her life with autism in the memoir,
36:40Thinking in Pictures?
36:42Karen Pryor, Pat Derby, or Temple Grandin?
36:48I know this straight off.
36:50Temple Grandin is such an influential person and scientist, and that's my answer.
36:55Temple Grandin.
36:57Seems like you know it.
37:00You were nodding before the question was even completely out.
37:04Temple Grandin it is.
37:06Carlos, if you don't get this, Genevieve will win and move on to the final pursuit
37:12because you won't be able to catch up with her.
37:14Here is your 800-point question in the category History.
37:20Founded in 1565, which of these Spanish colonies turned American cities was established first?
37:29San Antonio, Santa Fe, or St. Augustine?
37:35I believe San Antonio was 1700s, San Fe was 1600s.
37:41I've been to the Castillo de San Marcos in St. Augustine, which was 1565.
37:46Lock it in.
37:48Let's see if you're right.
37:51You were pretty sure of yourself. St. Augustine it is.
37:54So, 400 points separate the two of you.
37:58To move on to the next round, Genevieve.
38:01Here, then, is your 1,000-point question in art and literature, Genevieve.
38:06What 20th century architectural style is characterized by its exposed concrete, lack of decoration, and focus on function?
38:18Is it brutalism, deconstructivism, or new formalism?
38:26You know, there's a style for everyone. I don't love this style, but I love it right now. It's brutalism,
38:32and I'm going to lock that in.
38:34Genevieve, for the win. Let's see if you're right.
38:41Congratulations, Genevieve. You are moving on again to play for $20,000.
38:47Carlos, my friend, you are a formidable player. Thanks for playing our game with us.
38:52Genevieve, join me over here in the center.
38:54I would love to.
38:56When we come back, we'll see if Genevieve can conquer all six categories in The Final Pursuit for $20,000
39:03by here on Tribune Pursuit.
39:17Welcome back, y'all. I am here with Genevieve, who has made it back again to The Final Pursuit for
39:22a chance to win $20,000.
39:26So, Genevieve, if you've been here before, what did you learn from the last time you were here?
39:32Just focus on you, LeVar.
39:33Focus on winning this $20,000, because all that stands between you and that money are our six Trivial Pursuit
39:41categories.
39:41You will have 45 seconds, and you will earn $1,000 for each correct answer, and if you answer all
39:49six questions correctly, you will win $20,000.
39:54All right, Genevieve, to help with your pursuit, I want you to choose the first category that you're going to
40:00play.
40:01I'll take purple, art and literature.
40:03Art and literature. If you get any incorrect, Genevieve, you can always circle back for those, provided there is time
40:11remaining on.
40:12Genevieve, it's time for your final pursuit. Let's put 45 seconds on the clock, please.
40:19The time will begin when I finish reading the first question. Good luck.

41:13And you've won $20,000, bringing your two-game total to $25,000.

41:28We will see you next time on Trivial Pursuit, where knowing stuff is celebrated.
41:33Just ask Genevieve.
41:34But you don't have to take my report.
41:38Well done.
41:39Well done.
41:42For me, you may be brought here in the Jules Saviolini.
