Preliminaries: DiNucci/Swezey/Westphal
November 6

A check for a quarter-million dollars... A trophy... Bragging rights... The right to be called the best of the best. These things and more come with the title of Jeopardy! Grand Champion, and for the next two weeks, fifteen of the best Jeopardy! players this year will return for one more go at it.

We start with 15... from there we go to nine... then three... and finally... one. We start with five preliminary matches to determine the nine semifinalists. Those nine will compete for a spot in the two-day final to determine who will walk away with the grand prize.

Another standard two-week affair awaits with an minimum guarantee of $100,000 for second place and $50,000 for third.

Semifinalists are guaranteed at least $10,000, while quarterfinalists are guaranteed $5000 for participation. As always, any and all winning accrued depends on how far up the ladder a player goes.
 
Who will join Chris Mazurek in the semifinals? Time for game two...

Celeste DiNucci Philadelphia recent graduate student Five days, $84,601	Nick Swezey Washington, DC publisher Four days, $78,202	Craig Westphal Tucson, AZ paramedic Four days, $116,601

... and away we go. Jeopardy! round...

Daily Double: $1000 Anagrammed Canadian Provinces. Craig wants to double up. The clue: a hacksaw nest. "What is Saskatchewan?" Correct for $10,000

At the end of the Jeopardy! round...

Double Jeopardy! categories:

Daily Double #1: $800 Scientists. Celeste just took the lead with $10,200 against Craig's $9600 and Nick's $4600. Craig bets $6000 on this: in 1869, this Russian chemist predicted the properties of 3 undiscovered elements based on his Periodic Law. "Who is Mendeleev?" Correct for $15,600!

Daily Double #2: $1200 Historic Supreme Court Decisions?. Craig wants to go for the hat trick against $15,800 for Celeste and $6600 for Nick. Craig bets $2000 of his $18,000 on this: colorful recluse spider is found to cure lack of interest in the formal learning process. "What is Brown v. Board of Education?" Correct for $20,000.

At the end of the Double Jeopardy! Round...

Final Jeopardy! category: HISTORIC NAMES

Correct response: who was Pyrrhus?

Nick's response: who was Pyrrhus? RIGHT. Wager: $4000. Total: $10,600
Celeste's response: who is Pyrrhus? RIGHT. Wager: $6000. Total: $21,800.
Craig's response: who is Pyrrhus? RIGHT. Wager: $5000. Total: $26,600.

SEMI-FINALIST: Craig Westphal

The stone face of Jeopardy! saw a few cracks, but immediately plugged them up to get back in the game thanks to three successful Daily Doubles. Don't count Celeste out yet. Such a high score means that she may return next week. And such a performance today means that she'll be a force to be reckoned with as well.

Third quarterfinal tomorrow.
