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. Last week, the 15 preliminary match winners played in five quarterfinal matches. The winners - and four wild cards - will now return this week to play for three slots in the Million Dollar Finale. Simply put, it's win... or go home. First runner-up gets $100,000, while the second runner-up takes away $50,000. Semifinalists will be guaranteed $25,000. As always, all prize money is dependent upon how far a player proceeds. Ken Jennings has won game 1. He has a break while he watches these three play game 2...
Brad has the honor and will pick first in the Jeopardy! round...
Daily Double: $800 Actresses. Brad has $4400 and the lead, same as Ken. And just like Ken, Brad is betting it all on this: this portrayer of the screen's classic Southern belle was born in India to British parents. "Who is Vivien Leigh?" ... FOR THE DOUBLER, $8800! At the end of Jeopardy!...
Double Jeopardy! round...
Daily Double #1: $1200 State Facts. Brad has been borrowing the Forrest Bounce and has $20,600 to show for it to Tom's $3400. Leszek is $1600 down. Brad bets $5000 on this: this state is nicknamed the "Corporate Capital". "What is Delaware?" RIGHT for $25,600! Daily Double #2: $2000 Libraries. Brad is on a tear with $32,400 to Tom's $4600 and Leszek's $2000. He bets $2000 on this: The George W. Bush Presidential Library is on the campus of this university. "What is Southern Methodist University?" If only TOM had that response, as he points to his class ring. Brad had Texas A&M, and now he has $30,400. At the end of Double Jeopardy!...
The good news... EVERYONE will play in Final Jeopardy!. The bad news... #Ruttered. This game is Brad's to lose. Final Jeopardy! category: MONARCHS
Correct response: who is Hussein of
Jordan?
And like the Lakers & the Celtics, the Yankees & the Red Sox, Man U & Man City, Hulk & Warrior, and Duke & North Carolina, America's two perennial quiz powerhouses are destined to meet again.
