In 1984, "Jeopardy!", the
Merv Griffin creation that provided the answers and
asked for the questions, returned to the airwaves in
first-run syndication. Thirty years and more than 6000
episodes later, it stands as the gold standard for quiz
shows today, and this year, we celebrate with a
year-long tournament featuring some of the greatest
champions to ever play the game: The Battle of the
Decades.
This week, 15 of the greatest contestants of the 80s return to compete. The winner of each game will return in May to compete for $1 million and the title of Champion of the Decades. Runners-up will receive $5000 each. Yesterday in the 80s, a low-scoring affair meant it was anyone's game.

Before we continue, a note about yesterday. Because Richard is a federal appointee, he will not receive the $5000 promised to all tournament invitees. Phoebe has the honor, and will start the Jeopardy! round...
Daily Double: $600 The Country Due South. Mark has double Phoebe's total, $800 to her $400. The "Jeopardy! police" is still at the starting gate. Mark bets the max of $1000 on this: of Sofia, Bulgaria. "What is Greece?" RIGHT for $1800! At the end of Jeopardy!...
Double Jeopardy! round...
Video Daily Double #1: $1600 Civil War Generals. Phoebe is in second with $5000 to Frank's $4400 and Mark's $8000. She bets $2000 on this: a Texas fort is named for this Confederate general who led the Texas Brigade of the Army of Northern Virginia. "Who is Hood?" Right for $7000! Daily Double #2: $1600 In the Courtroom. Phoebe has the lead with $14,600 to Mark's $8000 and Frank's $6400. She fronts $2500 on this: defense witnesses in this comedian's 1964 obscenity trial included game show panelist Dorothy Kilgallen. "Who is Lenny Bruce?" That's the line for $17,100. At the end of Double Jeopardy!...
This is strictly a win-or-go-home situation, with the runners-up taking $5000, while the winner moves on to the tournament quarterfinals. The strategy from J-Archive.com... - MARK WINS
IF... he bets less than $3200 on a triple stumper or
$10,400 and is correct while the other two are wrong. Final Jeopardy! category: COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD
Correct response: what is Qatar? QUARTERFINALIST: Mark Lowenthal The middle podium continues to be money as Mark bets wisely on a triple stumper and joins Tom Nosek, Leszek Pawlowicz, and Chuck Forrest in the tournament. Meanwhile, three more players from the 80s and early 90s play next time. To read all about the tournaments and the contestants, go to www.jeopardy.com. |
