Semifinals: Joanides/Montie/Burnett
November 16

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. Now only nine remain, as we enter the win-or-go-home phase of the competition.

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. As always, any and all winning accrued depends on how far up the ladder a player goes.

Winner of this match gets Michael Farabaugh and Kate Wilson.

Jeopardy! round...

The $1000 Reality TV clue is delivered by Adam Savage & Jamie Hyneman, Discovery's "Mythbusters".

Daily Double: $800 In the "Mm"iddle. Colby's got $4000 worth of apparent swagger. He fronts all of it, or as he says, "I'm gonna Roger Craig this." Here's the clue: incendiary or provocative; arousing anger. "... I have no idea." Some Roger Craig YOU are. It was inflammatory.

And for the record, "Roger Craig" means to play sabermetric or moneyball Jeopardy!. You don't have to get ALL of the clues, just the ones that will put the game out of reach. See "two people being chased by a bear". At the end of Jeopardy!...

Double Jeopardy! round...

Daily Double #1: $1600 American History. Drew is now only $400 down. He bets the max of $2000 on this: in 1638 he organized the first Baptist Church in America in Providence, Rhode Island. "Who is Roger Williams?" CORRECT for $1600!

Daily Double #2: $1200 17th Century Words. Brenton has a little less than half of Colby's total, $5200 to $10,600. Drew is on the ofer-hole. He bets $2500 on this: meaning one who flees home or seeks asylum, it was first applied to Huguenots who fled France. "Who are refugees?" Correct for $7700!

At the end of Double Jeopardy!... it's all over for the crying for Drew...

Here's what the book says courtesy of J-Archive.com:

- Brenton wins if he goes all-in and is right.
- Colby wins if he bets $801 and is right.

Final Jeopardy! category: CLASSICAL MUSIC

Correct response: what is "Clair de Lune"?

Brenton's response: what is the "Moonlight Sonata"? WRONG. Wager: $7298. Total: $2.
Colby's response: what is Clair De Lune? RIGHT. Wager doesn't matter.

Finalist: Colby Burnett

Couldn't wipe the smirk off his face for anything, and now he has the momentum going into the finals next week against...

Enjoy the weekend, because on Monday... we go to war.
