Semifinals: Stanford/Vandy/UMich
February 10

Last week, fifteen of the best and brightest of the hallowed halls and dorm rooms of academia descended upon the hallowed halls and studios of Sony Pictures to pitch intellectual combat, three at a time. Now the cream of the cram has risen to the top, but there is still one more level to go. The winners of this game and the two to follow will reach that level and compete for $100,000, a spot in the quarter-million dollar Tournament of Champions... and the title of Jeopardy! College Champion.

Second place is guaranteed $50,000, while third will get $25,000 in a standard two-week event. Semifinalists are guaranteed at least $10,000. As always, any and all winning accrued depends on how far up the ladder a player goes.

These nine are going to be friends forever... but for the next week, where the familiar mantra is "Win... or go home", it's all business.

Winner of this match gets Sarah Bart & Monica Thieu...

Matt Olson Berkeley, CA Stanford sophomore AUTOMATIC QUALIFIER	Zack Terrill Winter Springs, FL Vanderbilt senior WILD CARD	Connie Shi Okemos, MI Michigan junior AUTOMATIC QUALIFIER

In the Jeopardy! board...

Daily Double: $400 Shh! Librarians! Only $800 off of Zack's lead, Connie bets $1200 on this: as an assistant librarian at Peking University in 1919, he red up on Communist theory. "Who is Mao?" Correct for $5400 and the lead!

At the end of Jeopardy!...

Double Jeopardy! round...

VOLCANOES

COLLEGE BEFORE & AFTER

EPONYMS

EUROPEAN HISTORY

POETIC CHARACTERS

Daily Double #1: $1600 Volcanoes. Matt has $5800, $2200 behind Connie's lead. He bets that on this: in 1944 Allied Forces in Italy had to evacuate an airfield when ash from this volcano damaged planes. "What is Vesuvius?" Correct for $8000 and the tie!

Daily Double #2: $1600 Eponyms. Matt's hitting his stride with $18,000 to Zack's $10,200. Matt bets $6000 on this: both a horse race & a man's hat are named for Edward Stanley, the 12th Earl of this. "What is Derby?" That... would've gotten him an almost insurmountable lead, but now his lead is only $1800 on "Belmont".

At the end of Double Jeopardy!...

Now the keys from our friends at J-Archive.com...

- Connie wins if... she bets everything and is correct, but ONLY if the other two miss, since they will most likely bet against each other.
- Zack wins if... he bets no more than $9000 and is correct, but ONLY if Matt misses, since he will be betting to cover most likely.
- Matt wins if... he bets $10,401 and is correct.

Final Jeopardy! category: ANCIENT QUOTATIONS

Correct response: who is Solomon?

Connie's response: who is Constantine WRONG. Wager: $8798. Total: $2.
Zack's response: who is Midas? WRONG. Wager: $7000. Total: $4800.
Matt's response: who is Ozymandias? WRONG. Wager: $10,401. Total: $2799.

Finalist: Zack Terrill

Another upset special, another Zerg-cam.

Zack kept it close all game, but a costly error may have cost Matt his shot at the grand final next week.

And now these three will compete for all the glory in the One Shining Moment that is the College Championship FINAL...

MONICA THIEU - FINALIST
