Preliminaries: Millat/Radden/Tinkham
May 3

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.

This is a standard two-week affair, meaning that all 15 will play this week, with the five game winners joining the four highest-scoring non-winners in a win-or-go-home race to the two-day final.

So far, Kathy Casavant has won her way to week 2. Which of these three exceptional educators will join her?

Caitlin Millat Brooklyn, NY Achievement First Apollo Elementary	Viki Radden Bakersfield, CA South HS	Charley Tinkham San Bruno, CA Burlingame Intermediate School

Jeopardy! round...

Daily Double: $800 The Bill of Rights. At $2400, Charley has twice as much as Viki and $2000 more than Caitlin. He fronts $1000 on this: this type of citizen army is mentioned in the Second Amendment. "What is a militia?" Correct for $3400!

At the end of Jeopardy!...

Double Jeopardy! categories are...

Daily Double #1: $1200 The Male Cares for the Young. Charley has $13,400 to $8000 for Caitlin and $2800 for Viki. Charley bets $1000 on this: several females will lay up to 50 eggs in the nest of a male of this large flightless South American bird & he'll incubate them. "What is an emu?" No, it was a rhea for $12,400.

Daily Double #2: $1200 Take the Fifth. She has $8800 to Charley's $19,600. She only goes for $2000 on this: this country's current government, the Fifth Republic, has been in effect since 1958. "What is... Yugoslavia?" No, it was France, dropping her to $6800

At the end of Double Jeopardy!... It's pretty much an open-and-shut case...

Viki leaves with $5000, while the second automatic finish is Charley's to lose.

Final Jeopardy! category: AMERICAN POETS

Correct response: who was Walt Whitman?

Caitlin's response: Who was Whitman? RIGHT. Wager: $1. Total: $6401.
Charley's response: Who is Walt Whitman? RIGHT. Wager doesn't matter.

SEMIFINALIST: Charley Tinkham

Points to Charley for making it a runaway. Points to Caitlin for knowing when she was beat and taking advantage of the freed-up space in the wild card race. If she makes it to next week, look for both to make noise next week.

Another quarterfinal tomorrow.
