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. Cooper Lair & Selena Groh have their tickets punched for next week. In the next 30, we will know who will definitely NOT be sticking around for next week.
Nikki has the honor, and will start the Jeopardy! round...
Daily Double: $1000 Ici on Parle Français. William just got out of the hole with $600 on the fifth clue of the round to Nikki's $1200. He bets the $600 on this: rue a sens unique is this type of street. "What is a one-way street?" FOR THE DOUBLER, $1200! At the end of Jeopardy!...
Double Jeopardy! round...
Daily Double #1: $2000 European Geography. William ($10,800) has twice Nikki's total. He wagers $2000 on this: in north-central Italy, you'll find another country altogether, the tiny republic of this. "What is Vatican City?" No, it was San Marino, leaving him with $8800, but he can make it up... Daily Double #2: $1200 10 Years Ago: 2004. William tries $2000 again on this: at the Democratic National Convention, these 2 Johns got the nod as the 2004 ticket. "Who is John Kerry & John McCain?" John McCain's a Republican. You wanted John Edwards. He's down to $6800. At the end of Double Jeopardy!...
Barring a major wagering blunder on the parts of Nikki and William, this is as far as Eileen goes. Final Jeopardy! category: LITERARY HEROINES
Correct response: who is Katniss
Everdeen?
Living proof that sometimes it's not how you start, but how you finish, as William goes from sub-zero to today's hero, especially with a late-game surge after two disastrous Daily Doubles in the Double Jeopardy! round. Meanwhile, thanks to the final, Nikki, who forgot that the point of this week is to get to next week, finds herself on the outside looking in. We will have your first two wild cards tomorrow.
