The newest in Jeopardy!'s
line of grand 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!
Martha has the honor, and will start the Jeopardy! round...
Daily Double: $1000 In the State Capital. Martha has $2200 to Colin's $1800 and Erin's $1000. She's GOING FOR IT! The clue for $4400... the graves of Daniel Boone & his wife, Rebecca. "What is Frankfurt?" PAY THAT WOMAN HER MONEY, $4400! At the end of Jeopardy!...
Double Jeopardy! round...
Daily Double #1: $1200 British Nicknames. Colin is way out in front with $16,200 to Martha's $8400 and Erin's $2800. He bets $3000 on this: "the Last King of America". "Who is George II?" Missed it by THAT much. It was George III. He's down to $13,200. Daily Double #2: $1600 Organizations. Martha can regain the lead from Colin with $9200 to his $16,400... or she can drop behind Erin's $5600. She bets $4000 on this: this Utah institute is devoted to discovering & training new filmmakers, composers & theater artists. "What is the Sundance Institute?" That would be right, but "Burning Man" is wrong. She almost said Sundance, but we all know where almost only counts. She's down to $5200 and it's all but a sure thing for Colin. At the end of Double Jeopardy!, the game is Colin's to lose...
... HOWEVER the battle is not yet lost. It's important to remember at this phase the four wild-cards for non-winners. Final Jeopardy! category: LIBRARIES
Correct response: who is Ronald
Reagan?
Erin and Martha had no choice but to go for it to try and get in as a wild card. For Erin, the dream may yet continue. For Colin, it's all but a guarantee, as he could've said "President McNugget" and still get in. One semifinalist down, eight to go. Come back next time to see what happens.
