Preliminaries: Runsvold/Sausville/Short
November 8

An incredible year of champions has led to this moment, where fifteen of the best have returned to Sony Pictures for a shot at $250,000 and the right to be called a superchampion. Among them, a College Champion, a Teachers' Champion, and the person who has logged in the most money ever won in a single game.

Second place will be awarded $100,000, while third gets $50,000. Semifinalists who make it to week 2 will receive at least $10,000. Everyone will receive at least $5000. In total, a prize pool of almost half a million dollars will be awarded over the next two weeks. 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.

Four winners and two wild cards have their tickets punched to the week 2 shows. One, two, or perhaps all three of these players will join them.

Daily Double: $1000 It's Yes-Vember. Last clue in the round goes to Christopher, who's on $2600 to Justin's $5600 and Mark's $6200. He bets $1500 on this: in 1848 ladies said "Yes!" when the USA's first medical school for women opened in this state capital. "What is Trenton?" No, it was Boston, dropping him to $1100.

Daily Double #2: $1600 Turtles & Tortoises. Justin's back up to $6600, betting $1400 on this: the genus Kinixys includes the only turtles with a hinge on this, the upper shell. "What is the carapace?" Correct for $8000!

Final Jeopardy! category: 18th CENTURY AUTHORS

 

IN A POEM HE NAMED HIMSELF CADENUS, AN ANAGRAM OF DECANUS, OR "DEAN"

 

Correct response: who is Jonathan Swift?

Christopher's response: who is Tennyson? WRONG. Wager: $5900. Total: $0.
Mark's response: who is Swift? RIGHT. Wager: $11,800. Total: $24,000.
Justin's response: who is Swift? RIGHT. Wager: $3399. Total: $18,599

SEMI-FINALIST: Mark Runsvold

It was a very good game all around, but the final decided who was going to take that fifth seat for automatic winners. Not even finding the two late round Daily Doubles could put this away for Justin. But he will get another shot at it in the semis. The question now, do either one of them have what it takes to take down two people who are seen as heavy favorites?

Here now, your final nine...
