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, Larissa Kelly played a dominating front game, but Russ Schumacher had daring wagers to end up with the third seat for the 2000s bracket. Seat #4 is going to go to one of THESE greats...
Michael has the honor, and will start the Jeopardy! round...
Daily Double: $1000 Fairly Recent News. Ken has the lead with $6400, $3400 on Vinita. He fronts $3600 on this: after this leader's death in 2013, Citgo facilities across the US flew their flags at half-staff. "Who is Hugo Chavez?" RIGHT for $10,000! At the end of Jeopardy!...
Double Jeopardy! round...
Daily Double #1: $800 In the Bookstore. Ken still leads with $11,200. He bets $8800, saying that he might hate himself in the morning, on this: "The Bully Pulpit" is about the Golden Age of Journalism & the relationship of these 2 presidents. "Who are Roosevelt & Taft?" Which one? "Theodore." RIGHT for $20,000! Daily Double #2: $2000 Isotopes. The game is not out of reach yet, but Michael only has $5200 to Ken's $20,000. He bets all of it on this: the 60 isotope of this element has replaced radium in cancer treatment because it's safer. "What is barium?" No, it's cobalt. 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.... and that looks to be Ken, because it's his game to lose. Final Jeopardy! category: 19th CENTURY POLITICS
