All three gumshoes played beautifully this episode. The only wrong guesses I recall seeing were in the loot-warrant-crook round, but since it's memory-based, that shouldn't matter much at all. The Jeopardy! reference made it all the more appropriate. If Alex Trebek were watching this with Lynne Thigpen right now up there, God bless and salute them both, I'm absolutely certain the two of them would be very proud right now.

They took forever to answer the first question to break a three way tie. How could anybody not know such the Land of Enchantment? That is my home state, New Mexico.
Wow, a shame that someone had to be omitted after the first round, as all three contestants played great! Loved Greg’s reactions after the word on the street clue, and the final clue when it was a three way tie. After the word on the street clue: Greg: “Again they are united, and again they are right!” After the final clue when Christian reveals his wager (no pun intended regarding Jeopardy) and his answer: Greg to Christian: “If you are right, we will have a three way tie.

@@gotacallfromvishalthe trip is all expenses paid. The winner is also awarded spending cash for the trip ($100 in the pilots, $250 for the rest of season 1, $500 for seasons 2-4, $750 for the 1st 1/2 of season 5, and $1,000 for the rest of the series). The show chose the hotel the winner stayed at for the 1st 3 seasons and it changed to letting the winner pick the hotel they wanted to stay from season 4 onwards. A rental car was also included beginning in season 3.
no christian we are not jeopardy where we require you to phrase your response in the form of a question when you answer, we are the public broadcasting service and this is a geography based game show
Both Greg and the Chief were off, but Greg was the closest. It was actually 737 gumshoes cause 1 kid competed twice due to a screw up on NGW’s part that cost him the game in his first appearance.
The Monaco Grand Prix, the Indianapolis 500, and the Coke Cola 600 at Charlotte ,three of the biggest races of the racing season all on one day and all on Memorial Day weekend.
I have to say that if I were running around on that map I'd feel very uncomfortable with the host following me around so closely. I'd be afraid afraid I would trip and fall.
Can't be sure, since there's still some more episodes of the last two seasons not uploaded before. Surprisingly, the first three seasons are uploaded in their entirety.

@@JamesSmith-jq6om James is exactly correct! This was indeed the only episode that ended in a first round 3 way tie. The rest of the series came very close to it, some had 2 way ties, but this was the only 3 way tie to happen.
Way to go Chief! Since you had forgotten about the special celebrity episode of where in the world is Carmen Sandiego in 1992, Blossom Russo, Ben Seaver, and Ashley Banks are going to haunt you for the rest of your life especially up there! LOL!
That's gotta be the tightest first round battle I've seen since deciding to revisit this show after almost 30 years. In the end, none of those gumshoes deserved to lose after displaying such vast knowledge.
I guess not, couldn't get the original version of Under the Boardwalk so Rockapella had to improvise hmm I never really heard of Rolanda Watts, how long was her talk show on for? This must have been taped the same day as Who Heisted the Humps anyone want to take a crack at what the final total was for the number of Gumshoes?
iHeartRyanStiles I've heard of Watts. Her show only lasted three years, and 10 years after her show was cancelled, she went on to become the worst game show announcer in the world.
17:21 As a native South Carolinian, I'm curious which cities would have been mentioned in the clues. My mind thinks it would have been the likes of Columbia, Charleston, Myrtle Beach and Greenville, amongst others.

Rest In Peace, beloved Chief. Lynne Thigpen was such a treasure.
If the show was revived, Queen Latifah would probably be the new chief.

They took forever to answer the first question to break a three way tie. How could anybody not know such the Land of Enchantment? That is my home state, New Mexico.
It took a couple of clues for it to click for me, but that was indeed a surprising number before someone got it.
Then cities in The Palmetto State
I knew it was NM.
Best Word on the Street sketch yet. They're dancing to Hava Nagila.
I agree
Almost expected Sean to give that clue.

No, not TPIR. A failed game show revival.
