Semifinals: Ellis/Vertnik/Amos
February 7

The last five games saw teenagers from all across the country square off in a battle royale in the grand tradition of their gladiatorial forbearers to see who would emerge triumphant in the great quiz show wars of the 21st century. Now nine remain in the hunt for the coveted trophy and $75,000.

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 participants 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.

Barrett Block is in the wings waiting for his next challenger...

Jeopardy! round...

Daily Double: $1000 Religions. Kelton, who would've run the category were it not for the $800 clue, is the only one in money with $400. He bets the level on this: members of this Indian religion are expected to join the Khalsa order & are not allowed to cut their hair. "What is Sikhism?" GOOD FOR $1400!

Joe ends up running the Major League Sports Cities for $7200. "And I don't even like sports."

At the end of Jeopardy!...

Double Jeopardy! round...

Daily Double #1: $800 English Literature. Tori is going all in on her $2400 for this: in this futuristic but not Orwellian novel, Mustapha Mond was called "the Resident Controller for Western Europe". "What is 'A Clockwork Orange'?" No, it was "Brave New World" leaving her at zero.

Daily Double #2: $800 Biology. Kelton leads with $12,200. He fronts $5000 on this: normally, when the glucose level in the blood is high, the pancreas secretes this hormone to lower it. "What is insulin?" CORRECT for $17,200!

At the end of the round...

Let's go to the book for this...

- Tori wins if Kelton & Joe bet against each other and both are wrong.
- Joe wins if he bets $4401 and forces Kelton into having to get it right to win.
- Kelton wins if he bets $7601 and is correct.

Final Jeopardy! category: CAPITAL CITIES

Correct response: what is Belfast, Northern Ireland?

Tori response: what is Dublin? WRONG. Wager: $8000. Total: $0.
Joe's response: what is Dublin? WRONG. Wager: $12,000. Total: $0.
Kelton's response: what is Dublin? WRONG. Wager: .... $16,400. Total: $0.

Well, this is historic. Video, please?

FINALIST: ... NOBODY!

As the rules state, a player cannot win with zero, so therefore all three are OUT, and there is one space for... a rare semifinal wild card. Who gets it? We'll find out tomorrow.
