7K: Knowing that 50/50 is once again rigged to leave best distractor I'd just hold breath & go for whiskey. I can't drink straight whiskey (tastes like machine oil to me) but those distilleries make lovely white sweet smelling smoke as "pollution", which really fooled me on my trip to Scotland until I figured out what those factories in otherwise scenic places were.

20K: Cue music: "77 Sunset Strip"

Jackie was introduced as expecting a baby - a New Year's baby (January 2016). From what I could see she didn't look more than 4 months pregnant, so this must have been taped in the summer of 2015.

So the title character of the show "Dexter" is actually sinister?

Nihil obstat®.

Yep. All the taping was done in the summer to fit Chris Harrison's schedule.

So far, Jackie's been really good at parsing the questions, and has used her lifelines well. I'm not sure if catching the Glasgow clue would have helped her or not. That Wimbledon question could have easily trapped someone who read it too quickly, with Super Bowl being a choice.
