Last April, 15 of America's
best and brightest teenagers descended upon Sony
Pictures Studios in LA to compete in the Jeopardy! Teen
Tournament. Now only 9 remain in the hunt for one of
three spots in the $75,000. But there are no second
chances. It's win or go home. Second place gets $25,000. Third
gets $15,000. Semifinalists who make it to week 2 will
receive $10,000. All money will be determined, as always,
by how far the players go in the tournament.
Jeff Xie fought hard for
his spot in the final. Hopefully someone fights JUST as
hard tonight.
