Preliminaries: BU/FL State/Southern
November
9

Fifteen undergrads. Fifteen schools. In the end, there can only be but one. On the line in this fortnight of intellectual fortitude, $100,000... bragging rights as the 2011 College Champion... and a place in the 2011 Tournament of Champions.

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, while quarterfinalists are guaranteed $5000 for participation. As always, any and all winning accrued depends on how far up the ladder a player goes.

Only nine of the fifteen that compete this week will be invited to return next week, however, the five winners this week and four wild card top-scorers.

So far, Sid Chandrasekhar from Penn is guaranteed to be in next week's semis. Who'll join him?

Daily Double: $1000 Them Crooked Vultures. Erin is lagging behind with $2200 to Lea's $2800 and Hans' $4800. She risks the level on this: this word for the type of bird vultures are is from an old word meaning a toll collector. "What is... a falcon?" No, a scavenger, leaves her with $1200.

Daily Double #1: $1200 Notable Names. Lea has $600. She bets it on this: at the Diet of Worms in 1521, he said "I cannot and will not retract anything." "Who is Martin Luther?" Correct to double to $1200!

Daily Double #2: $1200 the Muses. Erin now leads by $1000 over Hans. She bets $1200 on this: Clio is the muse of this & is often depicted with a scroll perhaps to record the deeds of men through the ages. "What is history?" Correct for $9800!

Final Jeopardy! category: WORDS IN 20TH CENTURY NOVELS

 

WORDS FOUND IN THIS 1945 FABLE INCLUDE BROOD, BAYING, BLEATING, COMRADE, TYRANNY & REBELLION

 

Correct response: what is "Animal Farm"?

Hans' response: what is Animal Farm? CORRECT. Wager: $7000. Total: $17,000.
Lea's response: what is Animal Farm? CORRECT. Wager: $6000. Total: $17,200.
Erin's response: what is Animal Farm? CORRECT. Wager: $9401. Total: $22,401.

SEMI-FINALIST: Erin McLean

Seems like a very close race. Looks like it's going to be a fight for those four wild card spots. Thanks to a late-round surge, Erin comes back to be in prime position, but she's going to need that energy all the time if she wants to be in next Thursday's show.

Two down, three to go. Stay thirsty, my friends...
