Last week, 15 of America's
best and brightest teachers came together to play on our
Teachers' Tournament. Of those, nine survive to play
this week - five game winners and four wild-cards. Now
it's a win-or-go-home affair, as only the winners of the
next three games will earn the right to play in the
finals for $100,000 and a shot at $250,000 in the next
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. Any and all prizes depend on how far up a player moved in the standings. John Pearson is standing by. One of these three players will join him.
Patrick has the honor, and will start the Jeopardy! round...
At the end of Jeopardy!...
Double Jeopardy! round...
Daily Double #1: $1200 Let's All Chant. Anne has a $1600 lead, $9200 to $7600 for Becky. She bets $1500 on this: priests chant the name of the god Ptah in the last scene of this opera. "What is 'Aida'?" RIGHT for $10,700! Daily Double #2: $1600 Front to Back, Back to Front. On a rally, Patrick scored $10,000 semi-unanswered to Anne's $15,100 and Becky's $12,400. He fronts $2200 on this: beastly home and Mideast currency. "What is lair & rial?" That ... would've been right, but Patrick blanks out, dropping him to $7800 at the end of the round.
Now we break down the numbers courtesy of J-Archive.com... - Patrick
wins if... he bets less than $2400 and either we end on
a triple stumper or Patrick is correct. Final Jeopardy! category: THE 2012 OLYMPICS
Correct response: what is archery
(as in "The Hunger Games")?
The final decides it again. Anne would have won it by a dollar were it not for an incorrect response. Becky, on the other hand, played straight Jeopardy! all the way through and it pays off in the end thanks to lateral thinking about what book series/movie was popular in the summer of 2012. Meanwhile, the reaping continues for the two-day final tomorrow. See what we did there? To read all about the tournaments and the contestants, go to www.jeopardy.com. |

Daily Double: $1000 Flashin' Some Fashion. At $1800, Anne is tied with Patrick
and has half of Becky's total. If she went all in and was right, she would still
be tied, but for the lead. She's GOING FOR IT! For $3600... popular in the '20s
& again in the '60s, this French-named hat will be there with bells on. "What is
a cloche?" FOR THE DOUBLER, $3600!
Finalist:
Becky Giardina
