Finals: Elkana-Hale/Farrell/Giles - Part 1
February 12
Last week, 15 of America's best and brightest teachers came to Culver City to compete for $100,000 and a guaranteed slot in the next Tournament of Champions. Then, only nine remained - the five winners of last week's games and the four highest-scorers among non-winners. Now there are only three - game winners Adam Elkana-Hale & Jennifer Giles and wild card Cathy Farrell. In 24.5 hours, one of them will be $100,000 richer with a shot at another $250,000 in the next Tournament of Champions later on down the line.

The runner up gets $50,000, while the second runner-up is guaranteed $25,000.

A MOUTHFUL!

Daily Double #1: $800 A History Lesson. Adam is out in front with $12,200 to Cathy's $4800 and Jennifer's $4000. Adam bets $4000 on this: in 1703 John Sheffield, Duke of this, build a palatial estate on the former site of London's Arlington House. "What is York?" No, it was Buckingham, dropping him to $8200.

Daily Double #2: $1600 Anatomy. Jennifer has $7200, up against Cathy's $6400 and trailing Adam's $9400. She bets $3000 for the lead on this: heart sac is another name for this 2-layered sac that surrounds the heart. "What is the pericardium?" RIGHT for $10,200 and the lead!

At the end of Double Jeopardy!...

$13,000 $13,600 $13,400

This could turn Final Jeopardy! into a $13,000 game of chicken.

Final Jeopardy! category: WORLD GEOGRAPHY

 

NOT IN THE 10 LONGEST, THIS 1,560-MILE RIVER IN A FERTILE BASIN FLOWS BY 29 CITIES OF OVER 100,000 PEOPLE

  

Correct response: what is the Ganges?

Adam's response: what is the Jordan? WRONG. Wager: $10,000. Total: $3000.
Jennifer's response: what is the Danube Ganges? CORRECT. Wager: $9000. Total: $22,400.
Cathy's response: what is the Ganges? CORRECT. Wager: $5000. Total: $18,600

It looks like Adam has got his work cut out for him, and Jennifer looks like she only has to show up to win.
$3,000 $18,600 $22,400

We're 24 hours away from another big money moment.
