It's that time of the year again, when many a college senior is ready to take on the world. Today, and every day for the next two weeks, 15 college students are going to take each other on for $100,000 and a possible $250,000 seat in the next Tournament of Champions in Jeopardy's Winter Classic, the College Championship. 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, while everyone who competes gets $5000. Any and all prizes depend on how far up a player moves in the standings. We're down to the last semi, which means that in 30 minutes, we'll have your final nine.
Maria from THE.... Ohio State University has the honor, and will start the Jeopardy! round...
Daily Double: $800 The Stage. Maria has THE.... lead with $6400 to $4600 for Alex. Erika has $1200. She fronts $2000 on this: "Cabaret" is set in this European city. "What is Paris?" No, it was Berlin, leaving her with $4400. At the end of Jeopardy!...
Double Jeopardy! round...
Daily Double #1: $800 Languages. Alex finds it early in the round with $5000. In fact, it's the only change in scoring since the half. He fronts $1200 on this: this language with a unique syllabary is now spoken by more than 10,000 Native Americans in North Carolina & Oklahoma. "What is Cherokee?" That would've given him the money, but Navajo drops him to $3800. Daily Double #2: $1600 Where Were You & When? Erika has $5200, more than 50 percent of Maria's total. She bets $1000 on this: this German military man, September 17, 1916: high above Cambrai, France. "Who is the Red Baron?" RIGHT for $6200! At the end of Double Jeopardy!...
Final Jeopardy! category: GETTING A "D" IN COLLEGE
Correct response: what is divinity? SEMIFINALIST: Erika Sloan It was Maria's to lose, and she lost it. But Erika kept pace and now has a shot at the big dance alongside these players...
Five women, four men, and one title. Next week, it's win-or-go-home as the semifinalists push forward to the two-day final! To read all about the tournaments and the contestants, go to www.jeopardy.com. |
