Finals:
Wilson/Burnett/Farabaugh - PART 1
November 19
Teachers are the backbone of our American
school system. Fifteen of them were particularly strong and gifted. But
where those fifteen once stood, now only three remain - Colby, Michael,
and Kate. One of them will be $100,000 richer in 24.5 hours time,
because the one that rises to the head of the
class will win $100,000 and a guaranteed
slot in the next Tournament of Champions.
Second place is guaranteed $50,000, while third will get $25,000 in a
standard two-week event.
Who has what it takes to go to the head
of the class this year? IT'S FINALS TIME!
