1990s: Carroll/Harris/Whitlock
March 5
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 1990s 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, Pam Mueller became the second person out of the 1990s to qualify for the tournament phase when she made a gutsy move to bet nothing on a triple stumper, holding her lead and keeping her around to face the likes of Rachael Schwartz in the next round.

One of these three will join those two ladies.

Robin has the honor, and will start the Jeopardy! round...

BILL CLINTON HOLIDAYS "HANG" FIVE LOGOS THE FIRST
INSTRUMENT
HEARD		 CARSON,
DAILY

Daily Double: $400 Holidays. Bob only has the $200. He's going for the $1000 on this: in 2011 the 250th edition of a real oldie hit parade marked up New York's 5th Avenue on this date. "What's... Thanksgiving Day?" No, it was St. Patrick's Day, leaving him at -$800. "I've been there before."

At the end of Jeopardy!...

$2,000 $1,200 $400
Robin Bob Shane

Double Jeopardy! round...

THE WORLD		 NATURE BRITISH
AUTHORS		 MAKE A FAMOUS
PHRASE

Daily Double #1: $1600 Nature. Shane has $2800 and the lead over Bob's $1200 and Robin's $800. He's going for it on this: a type of warship, or a soaring bird with a nearly 8-foot wingspan that might follow it. "What is an osprey?" No, it was a frigate bird, dropping him to zero.

Daily Double #2: $1600 British Authors. Robin has $2800 this time with $1200 for Bob. She fronts $2000 on this: in an 1890s letter, he called himself "a Polish nobleman, cased in British tar." "Who is Joseph Conrad?" RIGHT for $4800!

At the end of Double Jeopardy!...

$5,600 $6,000 $10,000
Robin Bob Shane

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...

- ROBIN WINS IF... she bets it all and is the only one right.
- BOB WINS IF... he bets $5201 to lock Robin away and is correct while Shane is wrong.
- SHANE WINS IF... he bets $2001 and is correct.

Final Jeopardy! category: 4-LETTER WORDS

 

NEW RESEARCH SAYS THIS WORD THAT HAS BECOME UBIQUITOUS DATES BACK TO YOUNG MEN ALSO CALLED "MACARONIS"

  

Correct response: what is dude?

Robin's response: what is dude? CORRECT. Wager: $5600. Total: $11,200.
Bob's response: what is stud? WRONG. Wager: $6000. Total: $0.
Shane's response: what is? WRONG. Wager doesn't matter

QUARTERFINALIST: Robin Carroll

This is how you play to win, and this is how Robin Carroll got to be "Robin Carroll", as she joins Pam Mueller and Rachael Schwartz in the next round.

Tomorrow, another three champions of the 1990s.
