Semifinals: Boston U/TX A&M/AZ State
November
15

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, while all players are guaranteed a Nintendo Wii with THQ's "Jeopardy!" for participation. 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.

And now, game one of the semis...

Daily Double: $600 State Facts. After a line ruling that gives Erin back some money to the total of $1000, Kyle gets to play with his $600. He makes it true on this: this state was named for the king of England who reigned form 1727 to 1760. "What is Georgia?" That... would've been right, but King Connecticut drops him to zero.

At the end of the Jeopardy! round...

Video Daily Double #1: $1600 Since the Iron Curtain. Marshall has $3400. Kyle leads with $7600. The best he can hope for is second place. "I'll make it a True Daily Double." That's what we wanna hear! The clue: 500,000 people, many lighting candles, marched in this country in 2005 to honor the late Pope. "What is Vatican City?" Down you go. It was Poland.

Daily Double #2: $2000 G-Force. Marshall can risk up to $2000. He halves that on this: Newton said the gravitational force between 2 objects is inversely related to this square of this measurement. "What is the distance between the two objects?" Correct for $2600!

End of the round scores...

$14,600 $11,200 $3,000
Erin Kyle Marshall

Marshall couldn't keep pace, and barring a mistake from the other two, he's going to pay dearly. The strategy from J-Archive.com...

- Marshall wins if... Both Erin and Kyle suddenly become drunk with power.

- Kyle wins if... he bets between $3401 and $4400 and is correct, while Erin wagers nothing.

- Erin wins if... she bets between $7801 and $8599 and is correct.

Final Jeopardy! category: SPORTS IN AMERICA

 


SEEN WITH A PIECE OF EQUIP., BRYN MAWR'S 1st PHYS ED DIRECTOR BROUGHT THIS SPORT TO THE U.S.; IT SHARES PART OF ITS NAME WITH ANOTHER SPORT

 

Correct response: what is field hockey?

Marshall's response: what is hockey? WRONG. Wager: $299. Total: $1.
Kyle's response: what is hockey mini-golf? WRONG. Wager: $11,199. Total: $1.
Erin's response: what is field hockey? CORRECT. Wager doesn't matter.

FINALIST: Erin McLean

There was no question or doubt that Erin came to play today. She was locked toe-to-toe with Kyle for the top spot, but when he fell, that when she juiced her stash. Of course, it helped a lot that she knew her online retailers. She stands a really good shot at winning the whole thing if she plays like that at the end of the week.

Smile. You deserve it.

Next time, game #2 of the semis. Stay thirsty, my friends.
