Preliminaries: Ceppops/Goldstein/Tucker
May 8

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.

So far, we have six players. In 30 minutes, we'll have nine.

Andrew Ceppos Tufts University senior	Ariella Goldstein Muhlenberg College junior	Patrick Tucker University of Notre Dame senior

Away we go. Jeopardy! round..

Daily Double: $800 I'd Rather Be Skiing. Ariella is currently on $4000 to $7800 for Patrick. Andrew has $3400. Ariella has $1200 on this: in this type of race you have to zigzag between flags or other obstacles in proper order. "What is a slalom?" Correct for $5200!

At the end of the Jeopardy! round...

Double Jeopardy! categories:

In "Albums", two albums are given; you have to identify the artist.

Andrew sweeps Albums That Rock to go to $9400.

Daily Double #1: $1600 Name the Decade. Andrew picked the right clue as he hunts and pecks with $8200 to Ariella's $9600. Patrick has $9400. Andrew bets $1800 on this: George Orwell, 34 years dead, hits the bestseller list. "What are the 1980s?" I love the 80s for $10,000!

Daily Double #2: $1200 Word Origins. Andrew has $13,200 to Ariella's $7200 and Patrick's $8200. He bets $4800 on this: this compass direction may come from the Proto-Germanic for "to the left of the rising sun". "What is east?" North... leaving him with $8400, still in the lead, but just.

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

Final Jeopardy! category: EUROPEAN HISTORY

Correct response: who was Henry VIII?

Andrew's response: who was Henry VIII? CORRECT. Wager: $9199. Total: $18,399.
Ariella's response: who is Henry VIII? CORRECT. Wager: $6401. Total: $18,401.
Patrick's response: who is Henry VIII? CORRECT. Wager: $8601. Total: $24,001.

SEMIFINALIST: Patrick Tucker

This one was about as easy as it got, especially in the Final. So the question now was... do you want to get to next week on your own power or on the weakness of the other players? All three chose the former, and as a result, all three will return next week.

When they return next week, they'll run into THESE players...
 

Wild Card	Wild Card	Wild Card
Game 4 Winner	Game 3 Winner	Game 2 Winner
Game 1 Winner	Wild Card	Game 5 Winner

Next week, the gloves are off. No more second chances and no guarantees. It's simply win... or go home.
