Semifinals: Scripps/NWU/MIT Last week, fifteen collegians took to the Jeopardy! stage and pitched bout for a shot at $100,000 and the title of Jeopardy! College Champion. With that comes a seat in the $250,000 Tournament of Champions. The game went to nine of them -- five winners and four wild cards. Now they face each other in a win-or-go-home semi to determine who will play for $100,000 on the two-day final. What challenges await the brightest collegians in the country? How will they rise to meet them? The answers to these questions could be worth $100,000 for the winner, $50,000 for the first runner-up, and $25,000 for the second runner-up. Semifinalists are guaranteed $10,000. Any and all prizes depend on how far up a player moved in the standings. Semifinal #1...
Jeopardy! round...
Daily Double: $800 You Did Bad. Hannah has $3800 to Daniel's $4600. She fronts $1000 on this: this term for exclusion from a group goes back to temporary banishment in ancient Greece. "What is exile?" No, it was ostracism, dropping her to $2800. At the end of Jeopardy!...
Double Jeopardy! round...
All of the clues in category #1 will be delivered by CNN journalists.
Daily Double #2: $1600 2 Animals in One. Trevor has rallied to $8000 to $8200 for Daniel. He fronts $2000 on this: this little rodent hops on its hind legs, just like its namesake marsupial. "What's a kangaroo rat?" CORRECT for $10,000! At the end of Double Jeopardy!...
Now the rules, from our friends at J-Archive.com: - Hannah wins if: Daniel and
Trevor bet against each other and lose. Final Jeopardy! category: AUTHORS IN THE NEWS
Correct response: who was Ray
Bradbury?
Trevor made a late-stage rally and hit all the important clues, but where he won it? The Final. He did the bare minimum, hoping that his opponents would be wrong. In Hannah's case, she bet against herself. Now Trevor has little time to prepare his finals strategy... ... before we face another three tomorrow.
