The newest in Jeopardy!'s
line of great challenges is coming around again, with
fifteen of America's greatest teachers being honored by
coming to play the great American quiz show of record.
At stake, $100,000 and a shot at $250,000 later on in
the next Jeopardy! Tournament of Champions. What challenges await these educators? How will they rise to meet them? The answers to these questions could be worth $100,000 for the winner, $50,000 for the first runner-up, and $25,000 for the second runner-up. Semifinalists are guaranteed $10,000, while everyone who competes gets $5000. Any and all prizes depend on how far up a player moved in the standings. And it all starts, wait for it..... RIGHT NOW!
Anne has the honor, and will start the Jeopardy! round...
Daily Double: $1000 State Capitals. Anne has $3800 to Katie's $5600. Rico is on $2000. She... is GOING FOR IT! The clue: French-Canadian trappers named it for the tree-lined river that provided relief for those crossing the Snake River plain. "What is Boise?" AT THE LAST SECOND DOUBLER! She's up to $7600. At the end of Jeopardy!...
Double Jeopardy! round...
Daily Double #2: $1200 It's All Politics. Katie sticks with a $3000 wager on her $12,600. The clue: in the late 1780s, fearing a strong central government, the anti-these opposed the adoption of the Constitution. "What are the Anti-Federalists?" That would've been right, but "Anti-Ratifiers" dropped her to $9600, still leading. At the end of Double Jeopardy!...
Final Jeopardy! category: 2013 NEWSMAKERS
Correct response: who is Diana Nyad?
Anne just went for it in the end, after having to play catch up with Katie all game long. If she does it again in the semis AND is correct in the semis, she will have the tournament all but locked up. One semifinalist down, eight to go. Come back next time to see what happens.
