Semifinals: Briley/Greenho/Scruton
May 7

Last week, fifteen teenagers headed to the quiz show equivalent of "The Hunger Games" in Southern California. Now it's on to the Capital, as the action switches to DAR Constitution Hall in Washington, DC. At stake, $75,000 and the title of the 2012 Teen Tournament Champion.

Second place gets $25,000. Third gets $15,000. Semifinalists who make it to this week will receive a guarantee of $10,000. All tournament tributes will receive the all new edition of Classroom Jeopardy! for their schools. All money will be determined, as always, by how far the players go in the tournament.

This is week 2 of the standard two-week affair, meaning that the five game winners and the four wild-cards will meet to compete for a spot in the two-day final. Basically, it's win or go home.

Game 1 of the semifinals...

Jeopardy! round...

Daily Double: $800 Books. Catherine's got $1200... and she's betting it all, or rather, saying "Mr. Trebek, I think I'd like to make this a True Daily Double." For $2400 or nothing... this HG Wells story says the title figure has "goggling spectacles and (a) ghastly bandaged face." "Who is 'The Invisible Man'?" FOR THE DOUBLER, $2400!

At the end of Jeopardy!...

Everyone's off to a great start, now let's keep the momentum going in the Double Jeopardy! round...

Daily Double #1: $2000 Theater. Ben has $7000, $200 more than Catherine. He bets $1000 on this: this long-running musical is based on a 1911 horror novel by Gaston Leroux. "What is 'The Phantom of the Opera'?" Correct for $8000.

Daily Double #2: $2000 BC-ing You. Ben has $12,400 to Catherine's $15,200. He bets only $2400 on this: a popular TV & movie subject, this gladiator led a slave revolt that ended with his death in battle in 71 BC. "Who is Spartacus?" Correct for $14,800!

At the end of Double Jeopardy!...
