Preliminaries: Lerner/Mokel/Taglic
July 25
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.

In 30 minutes, we will have your final nine...

He bets $1400 on this: its Family History Library on NW Temple St. has over 2.4 million rolls of microfilmed genealogical records. "What ... is.... Harrisburg?" No, it's Salt Lake City, leaving him with $3200. 

Daily Double #2: $1600 Bugs. Sydney finds it with $11,600 to Joe's $12,000. She bets $1400 on this: ladybugs & boll weevils are types of this insect, the largest order in the animal kingdom. "What are beetles?" Right for $13,000!
