Preliminaries: Bowen/Kaczmarek/Quivers
November 19
Last time on the Million Dollar Celebrity
Invitational, Michael McKean completely went all over his two opponents, Soledad
O'Brien and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. As a result, he wins $50,000 for the
International Myeloma Foundation and joins Andy Richter in the semifinal in May.
Today, and every third Thursday of every month,
another winner will be crowed and will move one step closer to winning the top
prize of $1 million for the charity of his or her choice.
The player who wins this game (and the
six to follow) will donate at least $50,000 to their charity. The
runners-up will take away $25,000. Any and all monies will be determined
by how far up the ladder a player goes.

Daily Double #1: $1600 Un-Outsourceable.
Julie has $10,200 to Jane's $6000 and Robin's $4200. Julie bets half, or $5100,
on this: this type of healer who adjusts & aligns you based on a system
developed in 1895. "What is a chiropractor?" Correct for $15,300!
Daily Double #2: $1200 What's Opera,
Doc? Jane's not happy, because she has to wager any or all of her $9200 against
Robin's $4200 and Julie's $16,100. She bets $5000 on this: Marcello fetches a
doctor, but Mimi still dies, leaving Rodolfo heartbroken at the end of this
opera. "What is 'La Boheme'?" Correct for $14,200!

Finally, an interesting
celebrity scenario. J-Archive.com calls this a crush.
- Robin wins if... Julie and Jane
bet against each other and lose, while Robin bets nothing.
- Julie wins if... she bets $8101 and is right (forcing Jane to wager to win) or
if she bets $6899 and is wrong on a triple stumper.
- Jane wins if... she bets $7201 and is right.

Capra?
Robin's response: who is Pon? WRONG. Wager:
$4199. Total: $1.
Julie's response: who is Ball? WRONG. Wager: $15,300. Total:
$0.
Jane's response: who is Frank Capra? CORRECT. Wager doesn't matter.
SEMI-FINALIST:
Jane Kaczmarek
This match was the closest
of the three so far. It could've gone either way, but Jane knew what she
had to do, and thanks to a late-round rally, she'll have a chance to do
it again in May.
Three new stars next month, December
17.
