Semifinals: GA Tech/Bowdoin/Tufts
May 14

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.

Trevor Walker awaits the winner of this match and the next.

Kristen Jolley Alpharetta, GA senior, Georgia Tech WILD CARD	Cindy Cammarn Charlotte junior, Bowdoin AUTOMATIC SEMIFINALIST	Jed Silver The Bronx, NY senior, Tufts WILD CARD

Jeopardy! round...

Daily Double: $600 On The Map. Jed has $200 to Cindy's $1200. He's going for a tie with a $1000 bet on this: they're the 2 largest peninsulas that nearly enclose the Gulf of Mexico. "What are the Yucatan and Baja California?" No, it was Florida. Baja California is on the other side. He drops to -$800.

Double Jeopardy! round...

Video Daily Double #1: $1600 Biology 101. Kristen leads with $3000 to Cindy's $2600. She's going for it! Here's Jimmy... "The green pigment necessary for photosynthesis is contained in these bodies contained within a plant's cells." "What are chloroplasts?" ... FOR THE DOUBLER, $6000!

Daily Double #2: $1600 America After the Revolution. Cindy has $8600 to Kristen's $9200. She fronts $2000 on this: in this 1797 affair French agents demanded the US loan France $10 million before our diplomats could meet Talleyrand. "What is the ABC Affair?" Wrong end of the alphabet. It was XYZ, dropping her to $6600.

At the end of Double Jeopardy!...

Final Jeopardy! category: MODERN-DAY CHINA

Correct response: what is June 4 (Tiananmen Square)?

Jed's response: what is June 5? WRONG. Wager: $1801. Total: $5599.
Cindy's response: what is May 5? WRONG. Wager: $8599. Total: $1.
Kristen's response: what is the date of Tiananmen Square? ... CAN'T ACCEPT IT. Wager: $1799. Total: $7401.

Finalist: Kristen Jolley

Give credit for Kristen being clever...

Also give credit to her for a strong front game. But judging by the scores, she's going to have to be stronger if she is to stand any chance of winning the $100,000 on Friday. A low-scoring affair is usually indicative of a weak field. The other two finalists will not let her have it any easier.

And speaking of, we round out the top 3 tomorrow...
