It's the 40th time we've been here on America's greatest quiz show. And for the people playing this week, it's the second time they've been here - as they are competing for a shot at the Tournament of Champions.

The winner of this match will return Thursday & Friday for a two-game total point affair. The winner of that will return to the Champions Wild Card.

SINGLE JEOPARDY!: Science Class, Welcome to Miami, A Latin Bestiary, Sounds Like Food, World of Barbie

Jill starts with $400 Welcome to Miami, finding the Daily Double under $600 Science Class. She bets it all on this...

• SCIENCE CLASS for $1800: Sedimentary deposits near Lake Superior produce the largest U.S. annual yield of hematite, the main ore of this metal.

She blanks on iron ore to go to zero. She recovers to $3400 to $6200 for Derek. Gabriel, on $2200, will get the first pick in...

DOUBLE JEOPARDY!: Honorary Harlem Globetrotters, Historical Films, Greek Geography, Renaissance Literature, Mississippi Learning, Starts with "G".

• GREEK GEOGRAPHY for $2600: The setting of plays like "Oedipus" & "Antigone", this Greek city shares its name with a capital city of ancient Egypt.

"What is Alexandria?" Not right, it was Thebes, dropping him to $2000. Jill finds the other under $800 Historical Films. She wagers $4000 on this...

• HISTORICAL FILMS for $4000: As her, Natalie Portman says, "There won't be another Camelot"

"Who is Jacqueline Kennedy?" RIGHT for $15,400! She ends with $16,200 to $8,600 for Derek. Gabriel is still in it with $4800.

This season, second place finishes will pay off $3000, while bronze medalists will take home $2000.

FINAL JEOPARDY!

• BRITISH MONARCHS: The most recent British monarch not to succeed a parent or a sibling was this ruler who succeeded an uncle.

Correct response: who was Queen Victoria?

Jill went for it when she didn't have to... and she nailed it to win $32,400 and a space in the finals.

After a trial run and a run online. It's time to play the game for real. You can win up to $5000 if you can guess Person, Place or Thing!

Each player will ask yes or no questions that will lead to the identity of a person, place or thing. After each player has had a pass, Melissa will offer a clue to the person. Whoever buzzes in with the correct answer will get 100. Otherwise, they will be skipped in the next round of questions.

ROUND 1

Kyle now leads with 500 to 200 for Nathan. Casandra has 100.

SPEED ROUND: Melissa will give clues to a person, place or thing. Buzz in if you think you know it. If you're right, you get 500 points. If you're wrong, you're locked out for the rest of that puzzle. The player with the highest point total after 90 seconds wins.
- WINNER: Kyle with 1000 points! But nobody leaves empty handed on this show. Nathan & Casandra leave with a Nostalgia Taco Tuesday set.

BONUS ROUND: Kyle will have 60 seconds to identify a person, place, and thing. You will have three clues to help you out, and they can be used at any time. Get one, it's a good prize. Get two... it's a BETTER prize. Get three... it's $5000 courtesy of Caesars Slots.

ROUND 1: RHYME TIME. First spin of the new season... is Bankrupt. Manjula picks up the Million Dollar Wedge off of a T and solves USE IT OR LOSE IT for $1350!

Eggland's Best MYSTERY ROUND: BEFORE & AFTER. Manjula gets a $3500 S, but misses an H. Kevin hits Bankrupt on HIS first spin of the Wheel. Valerie loses a turn after buying up the vowels. Manjula hits the Mystery Wedge. Will she risk the bank AND the Million Dollar Wedge on a look? Nope. She solves ROME WASN'T BUILT IN A DAY TRIP for another $10,500, giving her $11,850 and still that important MDW.

PRIZE PUZZLE/EXPRESS ROUND: PERSON. Kevin misses a T. Valerie misses an N. Manjula spins out $3500 again... but misses an M. Kevin hits the Express with an H, but doesn't ride. HE hits it AGAIN and misses a J. Valerie buys a bad E. Manjula gets the Express off of a C. She doesn't take the ride either. Can't blame her for that. She solves A HAPPY-GO-LUCKY GUY to win $3100, which she can spend in SPAIN (Trafalgar Tours, $9238). So far, she's in the lead with $24,188 AND the Million Dollar Wedge!

TRIPLE TOSSUP: Thing

So far, Manjula is running away with it on $24,188. Valerie has $5000. Kevin is on $4000.

Valerie's FINAL SPIN is worth $1500 per. Manjula misfired, but Kevin solves MONOGRAMMED MUGS for another $6000. He ends up with $10,000 cash money. Valerie ends up with $5000. But Manjula with $24,188 is SPINNING FOR A MILLION.

MILLION DOLLAR BONUS WHEEL: Manjula's choices: Phrase, Fun & Games, or Thing. She goes with Fun & Games for the money.

As a reminder, the $40,000 minimum is in play, as is a Volkswagen ID.4. The $100,000 is out, the $1 million is in. If she spins it and solves it, Manjula is a millionaire. Is it in the G? We'll see. Given her category of Fun & Games, the standard package, and her picks of MCD A...

_ _ E R T _ M E
_ _ C T _ R _

She had the OVERTIME, but unfortunately the Bonus Wheel does not produce a VICTORY. But she still has $24,188 in cash and trip. The big question... did she have the money? Nope. She had $50,000.

The million dollar wedge was in **. If only Manjula skipped breakfast this morning.

Last week, we wrapped up stage 2 with 12 ninjas competing in Stage 3. Only those who survive will get a chance at $1 million and TOTAL VICTORY. But first... they must deal with...

STAGE 3
