Semifinals: Bernbach/Srinivasan/Balse
May 1
9

Last week, fifteen of the best of the past year came to play the Jeopardy! Tournament of Champions... Six of them left broken and humiliated, but with $5000 and the keys to a small but growing fraternity. That leaves us with the final nine... At the top, there's only room for one. Awaiting this year's chosen one: $250,000 of a $400,000 title purse.

Semifinalists are guaranteed at least $10,000. As always, any and all winning accrued depends on how far up the ladder a player goes.

The winner of tonight's match gets the Game 5 Cinderella stories: Stefan Goodreau and Jason Zollinger.

Category #1 is according to the CIA World Fact Book. Category #2 deals with superheroes. Category #6: the state is hidden within the clue.

Video Daily Double #1: $1600 Going Greener. Vijay has $12,000 to Andy's $8400. He bets $2000 on this from Kelly... "Some energy on the Sony lot is generated by the Sun's photons striking the solar cell surface, making these jump from one atom to the next, creating a chain reaction which can be harnessed." "What are electrons?" Correct for $14,000!

Daily Double #2: $1600 They're No. 1!. Justin needs a bid move with his $6000 to catch up to Vijay's $14,800. He has one with $5000 on this: riyals actually gain value in Qatar--it has the world's lowest rate of this, negative 3.9%. "What is inflation?" Correct for $11,000!

$13,400 $10,000 $23,600
Justin Andy Vijay

J-Archive.com wants you to crush.

- Andy wins if... Vijay loses his mind.
- Justin wins if... he bets $10,201 and is right, while forcing Vijay to play to win.
- Vijay wins if... He bets $3201 and is right.

Final Jeopardy! category: OPERA

 

THE ARIA "POUR MON AME" BY DONIZETTI INCLUDES 9 OF THESE; A FEW TENORS HAVE EARNED THE NICKNAME "KING OF" THEM

 

Correct response: what are high Cs?

Andy's response: what are solos? WRONG. Wager: $4000. Total: $6000.
Justin's response: what are trills? WRONG. Wager: $7100. Total: $6300.
Vijay's response: what are falsettos? WRONG. Wager: $3201. Total: $20,399.

FINALIST: Vijay Balse

Vijay was strong all game long, but it was in the Double Jeopardy! round where he came alive and his opponents just stood there in absolute shock as they were forced to play to win. They didn't, and as a result, Vijay didn't have to do much in order to secure the win.

Now he gets to play in the final, and this lineup should look familiar...


Game 8 Winner

Game 6 Winner

Wild Card

Next time... a rematch of game 5... only this time, a quarter million is on the line!
