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. The winner of this game gets Ken Jennings & Brad Rutter. The losers get $25,000.
Roger has the honor and will pick first in the Jeopardy! round...
Daily Double: $600 Books of the Latin Vulgate Bible. This game is starting closer than the previous two, with Colby on $1800 and Roger on $1600. Pam also in it with $1200. Colby bets it all on this: a New Testament guy: "Jacobi". "What is.... Jacob?" No, it was James, leaving him with nothing. At the end of Jeopardy!...
Double Jeopardy! round...
Daily Double #1: $1200 World Literature. First clue of the round, and it's Pam's. She decides to say something she's never gotten to say. "Let's make it a true Daily Double." For $5600 and the lead... in Ariosto's chivalric romance "Orlando Furioso", Orlando is this great king's nephew. "Who is Charlemagne?" .... FOR THE DOUBLER, $5600! Daily Double #2: $2000 Presidential Firsts. Roger has $3200 to Pam's $6400. "I've always wanted to say this..." We know what's coming. Let's just do it. For $6400... he was commander-in-chief the first time the US formally declared war. "Who is James Madison?" ... FOR THE DOUBLER AND THE TIE, $6400! At the end of Double Jeopardy!...
It's all gonna come down to the Final... Let's look at the book... - PAM WINS
IF... she bets it all and is correct, while the others
miss. Final Jeopardy! category: NAMES ON THE MAP
Correct response: what is Prince
Edward Island?
They say that great men are forged in fire; that it is up to lesser men to light the flame. While any one of these three great quiz brains could have won, the position is now Roger's to inherit. Now he proves himself as the best of the best facing the best of the best... Your finalists are...
All three are champions.... but only one can be Champion of the Decades. Get ready... Thirty years will come down to 60 minutes starting tomorrow! To read all about the tournaments and the contestants, go to www.jeopardy.com. |
