Preliminaries: Byju/Crouch/Hummer
February 1

It's perhaps the hardest part-time job that any teenager could have... but at the same time, it's the most lucrative. Instead of enough for a used car and some gas to put in it, we're talking $75,000.

Teenagers from across the country have tried out by the boatload by taking "The Test" online at Jeopardy.com. Now the best 15 of them have come together at the Sony stages in Los Angeles to compete for $75,000 and the right to be called this season's Teen Champion. Second place gets $25,000. Third gets $15,000. Semifinalists who make it to week 2 will receive $10,000. All of this week's players will receive $5000 and 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 a standard two-week affair, meaning that all 15 will play this week, with the five game winners joining the four highest-scoring non-winners in a win-or-go-home race to the two-day final.

So far, Kelton Ellis and Nilai Sarda are making it an all-male, all-Georgia affair. One of these three can give them a run for their money.

HOMECOMING

Daily Double: $600 Homecoming. Olivia has $1600 to William's $3000. She bets $600 on this: before he had to sell it, this author enjoyed coming home to his Chateau de Monte-Cristo outside of Paris. She blanks on Alexandre Dumas, dropping her to $1000.

BAD LUCK?

Daily Double #1: $1200 "Y" Is The Only Vowel. The game is a lot closer now with Olivia on $3000 to William's $4600. She bids $1000 on this: an ancient traditional story of a people. "What is a myth?" CORRECT for $4000!

Daily Double #2: $2000 World Rivers. In the last clue of the round, William has $10,600 to Olivia's $14,400. He bets $3000 on this: this river that rises in the Black Forest flows through Germany & on into Austria. "What is the Danube?" Correct for $13,600 to end the round...

Final Jeopardy! category: THE PLANETS

 

TO THE ANCIENT GREEKS & ROMANS, IT WAS THE SLOWEST-MOVING PLANET SEEN FROM EARTH

 

Correct response: what is Saturn?

Arjun's response: what is Neptune? WRONG. Wager: $2600. Total: $4800.
William's response: what is Neptune? WRONG. Wager: $2800. Total: $10,800.
Olivia's response: what is Mars Jupiter? WRONG. Wager: $6600. Total: $7800.

Semifinalist: William Crouch

It was a seesaw match between William and Olivia, but the wagering in the final decides it. William plays it conservatively, and will get another shot at it. Meanwhile, the male Georgian demographic gets ever stronger. Also, with today's game, Brittany Poppen and Lila Anderson are eliminated from further play.

Next week, two more prelims, and a semi to decide who plays for $75,000.
