Semifinals: Saunders/Chuchla/Hosford
November 17

We started with 15... Now we're down to nine, and for each one, it's important to play each match as if it were their last... because for six of them, it will be, as we race to the end of the week final 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. All money will be determined, as always, by how far the players go in the tournament.

This is a standard two-week affair, with the five game winners from last week joining the four highest-scoring non-winners in a win-or-go-home race to the two-day final.

First semifinal...

Brandon Saunders Holliswood, NY sophomore	Ben Chuchla Calabasas, CA senior	Audrey Hosford Annapolis, MD junior

Jeopardy! round has these six...

Daily Double: $600 an "F" in History. Brandon has $600 to Ben's $200. Audrey has yet to make a move. He makes it true on this: on July 3, 1754, Fort Necessity was surrendered in one of the first battles in this 9-year war. "What is the French Revolution?" Nope, it was the French & Indian War, leaving him with nothing.

At the end of the Jeopardy! round...

Double Jeopardy! categories:

Daily Double #1: $800 World Capitals. Brandon is on $9200, way ahead of Ben's $1000, but nipping at Audrey's $12,600. He bets to tie with $3400 on this: around 1050 Harald Hardrade founded this city on a fjord. "What is Stockholm?" Close, it was Oslo, on a fjord in Norway, leaving him with $5800.

Daily Double #2: $2000 Start Your Engines. Brandon's been building his way back up to $7800 against Ben's $3400 and Audrey's $14,200. He risks $5000 on this: named for its inventor, this engine sprays fuel directly into the chamber, where it is ignited by high-temperature air. "What is a combustion engine?" Nope, a Diesel engine drops him to $2800.

Scores speak for themselves.

As you can see, it's Audrey's game to lose... and she will if she bets more than $7800 and is wrong. But that's if only Ben doubles up.

Final Jeopardy! category: 19th CENTURY POLITICS

Correct response: who was Frederick Douglass?

Brandon's response: who was Carver? WRONG. Wager: $0. Total: $2800.
Ben's response: who was Douglas (sic)? RIGHT. Wager: $5400. Total: $10,800.
Audrey's response: who is Thurgood Marshall? WRONG. Wager:

FINALIST: Audrey Hosford

A couple of bad beats on the Daily Double would mean that Audrey didn't beat Brandon so much as Brandon beat himself, but the fact that she could make that much money on her own shows her prowess as a force to be reckoned with. She could make a good run at it if she keeps up this momentum.

Second semi tomorrow.
