Preliminaries: Carson/DeMoss/Hess It's been said that teachers rank among
the best Jeopardy! players ever. To that end, fifteen of them have been
chosen from all across the nation to do battle at Sony Pictures Studios
for a shot at $100,000 and the title of the first ever Jeopardy!
Teachers Champion. Second place gets $50,000. Third gets $25,000.
Semifinalists who make it to week 2 will receive $10,000. All of this
week's players will receive $5000. All money will be determined, as
always, by how far the players go in the tournament. So far, we have six... in 30 minutes we'll have your nine...
Jeopardy! round...
Daily Double: $600 The President Who Wrote... Judd has only $400, tied with Catherine and $1000 behind Larry. He makes it a true Daily Double on... "Hunting the Grisly". "Who is Theodore Roosevelt?" Correct for $800. At the end of Jeopardy!...
Double Jeopardy! categories are...
Daily Double #1: $2000 Lessen Plan. Larry is tearing up the board with $12,800 to Judd's $5600. Larry fronts $3200 on this: an airplane rises due to this Swiss man's "effect", as a fluid's pressure lessens when its speed increases. "What is the Bernoulli effect?" Count it for $16,000! Daily Double #2: $1600 Sports Weights & Measures. After Larry phrases his response improperly, Judd NOW has half of his total, $8400 to Larry's $16,800. Judd bets $8000 on this: it stretches 62 feet, 10 3/16 inches from foul line to the pit. "What is the long jump?" No, it's a bowling lane, leaving him with $400. At the end of Double Jeopardy!... It's Larry's game to lose.
... and it looks like the two bubble scores for Wild Card are going to hold. Final Jeopardy! category: US LANDMARKS
Correct response: what is the
Gateway Arch (St. Louis)?
Like last time, it was pretty much over when Larry got into a groove. If he can find the same stroke next week, a spot in the final is his. There's just eight things standing between him and $100,000... And here they are...
These nine will have the weekend to think about what their next trick is going to be. Only room for three in the big dance. And you know what that means. It's win or go home. Semifinals start NEXT WEEK! To read all about the tournament and the contestants, go to www.jeopardy.com. |
