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. In 30 minutes, we will have your final nine who will continue on for a shot at $100,000.
Adam has the honor, and will start the Jeopardy! round...
Daily Double: $1000 Bad Poetry About
Poets. Kate, who teaches Alex the subtle art form of blowing up a fist bump,
bets $1600 to tie Adam on this: "Who is Shakespeare?" No, it was Alfred Lord Tennyson, leaving her with $1800. At the end of Jeopardy!...
Double Jeopardy! round...
Daily Double #1: $1600 The Middle Ages. Adam has $7600 and the lead. He bets $3000 on this: in the craft guilds of the Middle Ages, these craftsmen came between masters & apprentices. "What are journeymen?" CORRECT for $10,600! Daily Double #2: $2000 Official State Symbols. Kate bets $1400 again on this: Indiana's official state river, it's also in the title of the state song. "What is the Suwannee?" No, it was the Wabash. Down to $4200. At the end of Double Jeopardy!...
But remember... Wild Cards. Right now, a score of $9001 is all you need. Final Jeopardy! category: SHAKESPEARE
Correct response: what is Italy?
In a week
that was full of people who mistakenly went yard on the
Final, not knowing that the point of this week was to
get to next week, Jay was... another one. Though it
could have gone the way of Adam with a few game moves in
the early goings. But he's got eyes on next week and the
road to $100,000. He'll have familiar company in the
final nine...
In a week, one of these teachers will much deservedly be $100,000 richer. In the meantime, we're down to the next phase and the four words we love around this time: win... or go home. To read all about the tournaments and the contestants, go to www.jeopardy.com. |
