(Alex: As we get ready for the Double Jeopardy! Round, we have good news and bad news for Sarah. During the break, our researchers discovered that in some of the newer legal textbooks, "exclusionary" is a word that would satisfy the clue we presented awhile ago. So, you're picking up $2,000, which puts you into a tie with Beau, but which means he gets to pick first in Double Jeopardy!)
