Preliminaries: Duann/Myers/Petterson
May 4

Homebase is hosting the creme de la creme of collegians as once again, 15 of the nation's best and brightest come together to face the ultimate trivial challenge, facing off against each other and the big board for up to $100,000.

Only nine of them will be invited to return next week, however, the five winners this week and four wild card top-scorers.

Another standard two-week affair awaits with an minimum guarantee of $50,000 for second place and $25,000 for third.

Semifinalists are guaranteed at least $10,000, while quarterfinalists are guaranteed $5000 for participation. As always, any and all winning accrued depends on how far up the ladder a player goes.

But that's next week. The important bit right now is to get there. Today, it's the Kansas Jayhawks, the Mizzou Tigers, and the Buckeyes of Ohio State.

Jennifer Duann The Ohio State University senior	Laura Myers University of Missouri senior	Mark Petterson University of Kansas senior

Away we go. Jeopardy! round..

NAME THE WORK

HEISMAN WINNERS

I WANT TO RIDE THAT!

A HORSE IS A HORSE

RHYMES WITH TRACK

Daily Double: $600 Name That Work. Laura finds it on $5200 to $3400 for Mark. Jennifer's $200 under. Laura bets $1000 on this: Melville: "Captain Vere was an exceptional character". "What is 'Moby Dick'?" Sorry, Laura. It was "Billy Budd", leaving her with $4200.

At the end of the Jeopardy! round...

Double Jeopardy! categories:

Daily Double #1: $1200 Art. Laura is owning this match with $14,000 to Mark's $5200 and Jennifer's $1800. She goes for a big bet with $4000 riding on this: this artist used trowels, sticks & even basters to create some of his drip paintings, like "Cathedral". "Who is Jackson Pollock?" Correct for $18,000!

Video Daily Double #2: $2000 Time to Convert. Mark needs to make a move if he wants to maximize his return for the Final with $8800. Laura has $18,800 to Jennifer's $3400. He wagers $2200 on this: you do the math: -40 degrees on the Fahrenheit temperature scale equals this on the Celsius scale. "What is zero degrees?" That's... not it. It was -40, leaving him with $6600.

At the end of the Double Jeopardy! Round...

Laura has this game locked away. There's no question or doubt that she'll be back next week, so it's a battle for a wild card spot.

Final Jeopardy! category for all the cheese: THE 50 STATES

Correct response: what is Arkansas?

Jennifer's response: what is Illinois? WRONG. Wager: $7000. Total: $400.
Mark's response: what is Arkansas? CORRECT. Wager: $7600. Total: $16,200.
Laura's response: what is Arkansas? CORRECT. Wager doesn't matter.

SEMIFINALIST: Laura Myers

Laura was just out for blood, while Mark wanted to keep things interesting. There's a good chance that both of them will return next week. Meanwhile Jennifer was just out of her depth in this match. So much for THE Ohio State University

Preliminary action continues tomorrow.
