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, Robin Carroll joined Pam Mueller and Rachael Schwartz on Winner's Row when she crushed her opponents in a Final Jeopardy! stumper. If the 80s were the decade of the men, then the 90s belong to the women, which is good for one of these three people...
Dave has the honor, and will start the Jeopardy! round...
Daily Double: $800 Internal Fluidity. Mark leads with $6200 to $3800 for Dave. Claudia has $1800. Mark bets $3000 on this: plasma is blood without cells; this is blood without cells & clotting factors. "What is serum?" That would've been right, but lymph drops him to $3200. At the end of Jeopardy!...
Double Jeopardy! round...
Daily Double #1: $1200 Consider That a Divorce. Mark leads by $3000, $10,800 to Dave's $6600 and Claudia's $7800. He bets $800 on this: their storybook royal romance produced 2 daughters but ended in 1996. "Who are Princess Grace of Monaco & Prince Albert?" Nope, it was Prince Andrew & Sarah Ferguson, leaving him with $10,000. Daily Double #2: $2000 Islands in the Stream. Mark finds all three with $13,600 to Dave's $9800 and Claudia's $6200. He bets $2000 on this: Elephantine Island & Kitchener's Island. "What is the Ganges River?" No, it was the Nile, leaving him with $11,600. 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... - CLAUDIA
WINS IF... Mark somehow bets everything and is wrong,
while she bets $600 and ISN'T. Final Jeopardy! category: PULITZER PRIZE-WINNING AUTHORS
Correct response: who is John Updike? QUARTERFINALIST: Mark Dawson Mark did what he had to do in the Final and was correct. Dave also did what he had to do in the Final. As for being correct... not so much. He joins Rachael Schwartz, Pam Mueller, and Robin Carroll in the quarterfinals. We round out the 90s next time.
