Semifinals: Sausville/Nissley/McLean Last week, the run for the globe began with 15 of the best players to ever grace the Jeopardy! stage. Among them, contestants who have won well over $1 million. Now only nine remain in a win-or-go-home semifinal that will see only three dreams of quarter-million dollar glory continue on. The other six will go up in smoke. 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. All money will be determined, as always, by how far the players go in the tournament. Game one features...
Because Justin had the highest total overall, he will inherit the #1 semifinal seed and the #1 pick in the Jeopardy! round...
Daily Double: $600 Twins. Tom finds it with $2600, behind $3800 for Justin and in front of Erin's $1000. HE'S GOING FOR IT! The clue: these twins & recent first daughters were named for their grandmothers. "Who are the Bush twins?" ... would've gotten it. Barbara was right, but he couldn't remember Jenna! He drops to zero. At the end of Jeopardy!...
Double Jeopardy! round...
Alex will deliver the clues in category #6 from the Metropolitan Opera in New York. In costume.
Daily Double #2: $2000 Winter Olympics Mascots. Last clue in the round. Tom at $24,200 to Justin's $10,400 and Erin's $5400 can put it away right now. He bets $2000, assuring himself of a spot in the final next week. Haakon & Kristin, mascots of this city's Olympics, were named for a Norwegian prince & princess. "What is Lillehammer?" That's a lock with $26,200. At the end of Double Jeopardy!, it's Tom's game to lose...
Final Jeopardy! category: FRENCH HISTORY
Correct response: who was Charlotte
Corday?
It was a late-round rally that put Tom in contention, but it was a smart Daily Double wager that put him in the final on Monday. Now the question, who joins him? Stay tuned. To read all about the tournaments and the contestants, go to www.jeopardy.com. |

Daily Double #1: $1200 Operatic Costumes. Not Tom's category. Not his game
either. He trails Justin by $400, $5600 to $5200. Erin has $1400. He bets $1000
on this from Alex... "The costume worn by this character may not seem to go with
his title profession, but in his first scene he sings, 'Largo al Factotum', and
explains that he's also the apothecary, gardener, and wig maker." "Who is the
barber of Seville?" Correct for $6200!
FINALIST:
Tom Nissley
