(Alex: [After Daily Double is revealed at clue 29] Ryan, you're in the lead with $13,400, but that score is about to change. A few moments ago, all three of you will recall I said there was no harm, no foul, you all missed out on that clue that we were going for a response of "What is [*]"? Justin, you responded, "What is [**]?" It turns out that we could have accepted that as a correct response, and if we had, the other two players would not have been allowed to ring in, so you're picking up $4,000, Sara, you're getting $2,000, and Ryan, you also are getting $2,000. You're still in the lead.)
