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 2000s 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. Last time, Colby Burnett made a lucky wager on what might as well have been a triple stumper. He gets to take his game to the next level, while we welcome another three greats of the last 10 years.
Vijay has the honor, and will start the Jeopardy! round...
Daily Double: $800 Inventors & Inventions. Roger finds it with $1400.... and he's GOING FOR IT! For $2800... Last name of American inventor Ray, whose noise-reduction system eliminated that background hiss on recordings. "What is Dolby?" FOR THE DOUBLER, $2800! At the end of Jeopardy!...
Double Jeopardy! round...
Daily Double #1: $1600 Historic Objects. Roger finds it off the bat with $6400. He fronts... "You know how I like to roll, Alex... True Daily Double." ... EVERYTHING! on this... Today thought of as a bejeweled statue, it was the Knights of Malta's annual tribute to the Holy Roman Emperor. "What is the Maltese Falcon." The stuff that DOUBLERS are made of! Here's $12,800! Daily Double #2: $1600 King James Bible Quotes. Stephanie has $10,400 and can take the lead. She bets $3000 on this: a major theme of Ecclesiastes is stated in the second verse of the book: "All is" this. "What is 'all is lost'?" No, just the $3000. It was "vanity". She's down to $7400. 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. Final Jeopardy! category: FAMOUS WOMEN
Correct response: who was Susan B.
Anthony? QUARTERFINALIST: Roger Craig In a tournament where only the best can prevail, the best DID prevail as Roger poured on the pressure in the front game, especially during the Double Jeopardy! phase. He'll have to do a lot better when he takes on the rest of the field. Tomorrow, three more greats of the 2000s. To read all about the tournaments and the contestants, go to www.jeopardy.com. |
