Preliminaries: Burnett/Farabaugh/North
November 7

Teachers are the backbone of our American school system. Fifteen of them are particularly strong and gifted. Those 15 were invited to Culver City to take part in the third annual (sort of) Jeopardy! Teachers Tournament. 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. Semifinalists are guaranteed at least $10,000, while quarterfinalists are guaranteed $5000 for participation. As always, any and all winning accrued depends on how far up the ladder a player goes.

Only nine of the fifteen that compete week one will be invited to return in week two, however, the five winners this week and four wild card top-scorers.

Class is in session.

Daily Double: $600 US Geography. Way too early in the game to be of any use, but Colby bets the max of $1000 on this: the Sakonnet, Seekonk & Providence Rivers are saltwater arms of this bay. "What is the Narragansett Bay?" CORRECT for $1600!

At the end of Jeopardy!...

Double Jeopardy! round...

LOVE &
MARRIAGE
HORSE &
CARRIAGE

Daily Double #1: $1600 Composers. Michael has $4800. He bets $4000 on this: this German composer married Franz Liszt's daughter Cosima, 24 years his junior. "Who is Wagner?" That's right for $8800!

Daily Double #2: $1200 The 1980's, Quick! Colby is up over $10,000 at $10,400. He fronts $2200 on this: with US help in 1983, Sir Paul Scoon returned to power in this island nation. "What is Grenada?" Correct for $12,600!

At the end of Double Jeopardy!...

$19,800 $14,000 $13,800
Colby Michael Diana

This should make for a most excellent finish.

Final Jeopardy! category: PLAYS

 

REFERRING TO ITS 2 ACTS, AN IRISH CRITIC DESCRIBED IT AS "A PLAY IN WHICH NOTHING HAPPENS, TWICE"

 

Correct response: what is "Waiting for Godot"?

Diana's response: what is "Waitin for Godot"? ... WRONG. Forgot the G. Wager: $3800. Total: $10,000.
Michael's response: what is "Waiting for Godot"? CORRECT. Wager: $4000. Total: $18,000.
Colby's response: what Waiting for Godot? CORRECT. Wager doesn't matter.

Semifinalist: Colby Burnett

Colby was on point all game long, and that allowed him to dictate the flow of the match. After a brief scare from Michael in the middle of the Double Jeopardy! round, this one went the way of the Chicagoland teacher. I would not count out Michael as a wild card contender.

Who'll join him? Stay tuned.
