Semifinals: Pahk/Runsvold/Craig 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. Losers of this match get $10,000. The winner of this match gets Tom Nissley and Buddy Wright.
Joon has the higher score and will choose from these six in the Jeopardy! round...
Daily Double: $800 on the Movie Soundtrack. Roger has the lead with $1800 to $400 for Mark. He's going for it on this: this 1984 film included Salieri's 1788 "Axur, re D'ormus". "What is 'Amadeus'?" FOR THE DOUBLER, $3600! At the end of Jeopardy!...
Double Jeopardy! round...
An example of #6: "Who is Miley Cyprus?". Daily Double #1: $1600 Terms of Art. Roger has $7400 to Mark's $9400 and Joon's $10,200. He's going for it again on this... mind your this 16th century Italian art movement that gave us long-necked madonnas. "What is mannerism?" ... FOR THE LEAD AND THE DOUBLER, $14,800! Daily Double #2: $1600 Ethics. Roger's up to $16,800. He bets $10,000 on this: monistic theories reduce the search for good to one thing, like pleasure in the case of this theory. "What is hedonism?" Correct for $26,800! At the end of Double Jeopardy!, it's Roger's game to lose...
Final Jeopardy! category: BUSINESS
Correct response: what is pi?
Roger Craig is perhaps the luckiest sumgun this side of Sony, because he won the game on two key precepts - finding the Daily Doubles and having the bollocks to go for it. But will that hold up against his two final opponents?
