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 and a copy of "Classroom Jeopardy!". Any and all prizes depend on how far up a player moved in the standings. So far, we have sox. In 30 minutes, we'll have nine.
Cathy has the honor, and will start the Jeopardy! round...
Daily Double: $600 On His Presidency's Secret Service. Timothy has $5000 and the lead. He bets $3000 on this: in 1902 the Service began full-time protection of the president, this man whose predecessor could've used some protecting. "Who is Theodore Roosevelt?" RIGHT for $8000! At the end of Jeopardy!...
Double Jeopardy! round...
Daily Double #1: $1600 Diseases. Michael has been in the lead with $11,600. He bets $1600 on this: CFTR, the defective gene responsible for transmitting this metabolic disease, lies in the middle of chromosome 7. "I... do not know." It was cystic fibrosis, leaving him with $10,000. Daily Double #2: $2000 Raid! It is the last clue on the board, and Cathy has it. She has $8400, half of Michael's total. She wagers $2000 on this: in February 1942 he wrote that the purpose of his upcoming raid was "to bomb and fire the industrial center of Japan". "Who is Macarthy?" No, it was Jimmy Doolittle, and at the end of the round, Cathy has played herself out of further contention.
Final Jeopardy! category: PLAY CHARACTERS
Correct response: who is Henry
Higgins? Semifinalist: Timothy Shuker-Haines Timothy led the game into the half, but it was a misstep in the Final that gave it to him. Michael cannot afford to have another one like that. And he will have that chance, because...
... he's going to the show next week as well! But he's out of second chances. And so are the other nine. It's win or go home next week as we begin the semifinals! To read all about the tournaments and the contestants, go to www.jeopardy.com. |
