Preliminaries: Deabill/Lair/Takang
July 21
Last April, 15 of America's best and brightest teenagers descended upon Sony Pictures Studios in LA. But they weren't there to see a concert featuring the newest summer jam... They were there to play Jeopardy! for big money and bigger bragging rights. At stake, $75,000 and the title of 2014 Jeopardy! Teen Champion.

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.

But first, we start with game 1.

Kat Deabill

Kat has the honor, and will start the Jeopardy! round...

Daily Double: $600 Women & Children. Kat finds it with $1000, but Cooper has the lead with $6800. Josiah is in with $2200. Kat is going for it on this: in 1769 this 13-year-old composer was appointed an honorary konzertmeister at the Salzburg Court. "Who is Mozart?" FOR THE DOUBLER, $2000!

At the end of Jeopardy!...

Daily Double #1: $800 American History. Cooper still has the lead with $8400. He bets $2000 on this: in 1916 German saboteurs blew up a New Jersey munitions depot, sending shrapnel into this nearby landmark's gown. "What is the Statue of Liberty?" Right for $10,400!

Daily Double #2: $1600 Reading List. Josiah has $800, but Kat just stormed into the lead with $17,200 to Cooper's $11,600. Josiah bets the max of $2000 on this: this Dickens character is mentioned in the first line of "The Catcher in the Rye". "Who is Oliver Twist?" No, it's David Copperfield, leaving him with -$1200.

At the end of Double Jeopardy!... and a change of score...

$20,400 $12,800 -$2,800
Kat Cooper Josiah

And that's as far as Josiah will go in this tournament.

Final Jeopardy! category: RELIGIOUS HISTORY

 

THIS TERM COMES FROM A 1529 EVENT IN WHICH A GROUP OF LUTHERANS FORMALLY DISAGREED WITH A DECISION BY A CATHOLIC COUNCIL

  

Correct response: what is Protestantism?

Cooper's response: what is Protestantism? CORRECT. Wager: $7700. Total: $20,500.
Kat's response: what is Reformation? WRONG. Wager: $6000. Total: $14,400.

SEMIFINALIST: Cooper Lair

Kat could still see action next week, but in a tete-a-tete like we saw today, anything could have happened. Cooper's correct response gives him the edge so far this tournament.

Three more teens tomorrow.
