Finals: Beachum/Chung/Zsenak - Part 1
May 1
5

While college seniors all across the country are graduating, nine of last week's players are graduating to the next level, the semi-finals. For three of them, the road to $100,000 and a slot in the next Tournament of Champions continues. For the other six, the dream ends here at the Kohl Center in Madison.

This Spring Classic is another standard two-week affair, advancing the winners of last week's games as well as four wild-cards, high scorers among non-winners. All of this week's players will be guaranteed $10,000 for their participation. And in the end, only the winner will advance, hence the phrase, "Win or go home."

The first runner-up receives $50,000 at least, while the second runner-up wins at least $25,000. As always, any and all winnings accrued depends on how far up the ladder a player goes.

And then... there were three.

Daily Double #2: $800 Homecoming. Joey is far behind with $2000 to Andrew's $12,000 and Danielle's $7800. "Might as well let it ride."

Remember, this is a two-day total point affair.

Final Jeopardy! category: HISTORIC JOURNALS

 

ON JANUARY 18, 1912 HE ARRIVED AT A TENT NEAR THE POLE & FOUND "A RECORD OF FIVE NORWEGIANS HAVING BEEN THERE"

 

Correct response: who is Robert Scott?

Joey's response: who is Scott? RIGHT. Wager: $7600. Total: $15,200.
Danielle's response: who is Scott? RIGHT. Wager: $15,000. Total: $30,000.
Andrew's response: what is Scott Peary? WRONG. Wager: $6002. Total: $11,998

Joey says he can be gutsy. Danielle says "I can be gutsy, too." Andrew says... "D'oh!"  As a result, Andrew has the most work to do tomorrow. Danielle looks like she could just sleep off tomorrow's game and win it all, but stranger things have happened.

$15,200 $30,000 $11,998

The end of the road tomorrow!
