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. So far, we have three. But in 30 minutes, we'll have six.
Mary has the honor, and will start the Jeopardy! round...
Audio Daily Double: $1000 What Do I Hear? Mary has $1400, exactly half of Jennifer's total. Chris is in the red by $200. Mary IS GOING FOR IT! The clue: Vivaldi wrote for it, but it's also popular in American bluegrass music. "What is a mandolin?" That is right, but Mary said "autoharp", leaving her with nothing. At the end of Jeopardy!...
It should be noted that in light of Sony's hacking scandal, Eric's hometown banner, which read "Hack Attack!", has been digitally altered to read "Good luck". Double Jeopardy! round...
Daily Double #2: $1600 Saints Go Marching In. Jennifer has $14,400 and the lead. She bets $2000 on this: born at Lourdes in 1844, she was canonized in 1933. "Who was Bernadette?" RIGHT for $16,400! At the end of Double Jeopardy!, the game is Jennifer's to lose...
But remember... Wild Cards. Right now, a score of $12,601 will give you a wild-card spot. Final Jeopardy! category: LISTS
Correct response: what is the list
of World Heritage Sites?
A late round surge gave Jennifer the game, although it could've gone any which way before that. But a zero wager in the final is good for Mary, as she is now in the semis by virtue of the Wild Card. Joining her: Erin McLaughlin from Monday's show. Tomorrow night, we will name your final nine. To read all about the tournaments and the contestants, go to www.jeopardy.com. |
