Preliminaries: Collins/Joanides/Wilson
November 13

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.

At the end of this game, we will have your final nine semifinalists.

Jeopardy! round...

Daily Double: $800 9-Letter Words. Drew has $2600 and is behind Kate's $3400. He bets the difference, $800, on this: a standard of measurement, especially one 3 feet long. "What is a yardstick?" Correct for $3400!

At the end of Jeopardy!...

Double Jeopardy! round...

Daily Double #1: $1600 Name That Bible Book. Kate has $7600 and the lead. She bets $2000 of it on this: it says, "Salute Andronicus" & "Salute Asyncritus". "What is 1 Corinthinans?" No, it was Paul's First Epistle to the Romans, dropping her to $5600.

Daily Double #2: $1200 Native Americans. Drew has $13,400, going for $1400 on this: on February 11, 1805 Jean Baptiste Charbonneau was born to this Shoshone woman at Fort Mandan, North Dakota. "Who is Sacagawea?" Correct for $14,800!

At the end of Double Jeopardy!...

As always, each contestant in the tournament will receive a copy of Educational Insights' "Classroom Jeopardy!" for their schools.

Final Jeopardy! category: BORN & DIED

Correct response: who is Captain James Cook?

Whitney's response: who was Captain J. Cook? RIGHT. Wager: $2001. Total: $11,601.
Kate's response: who is Capt. J. Cook? RIGHT. Wager: $7601. Total: $19,201.
Drew's response: who is Cook? RIGHT. Wager: $6801. Total: $23,201.

Semifinalist: Drew Joanides

Scared, Drew? He's gone from in the red to in the semis thanks to a couple of rallies. He needs to not fall into that trap if he wants to end up in the finals.

And you know what they say, the point of this week is to get to next week? EVERYONE'S getting to next week!

Starting tomorrow, it's win-or-go-home as the quest for $100,000 continues.
