Notes
During the Lightning Fill-in-the-Blank segment, Luke Burbank had correctly answered six questions and missed on two (the first and the fifth questions). When totting things up, Bill Kurtis stated that Luke got 14 more points by answering seven correct for 16 points. If totted up correctly, Luke would actually have a total of 14 points and would still win outright.
The score entered in for Luke reflects the score on record as stated by Bill Kurtis.
