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, Craig Westphal, and Paul Glaser in the semifinals? Time for game four...

Daily Double: $1000 Stock & Trade. It was the last category in play, and everyone wanted to find the Daily Double. But Christian finds it with $9400 against Steve's $5400 and Sara's $200. He bets $2000 on this: this company, TM, is a hybrid, as it also runs a financial services division. "What is Toyota?" Correct for $11,400.

Double Jeopardy! categories:

THE AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY SEASONAL CINEMA FIRST LADIES WORLD AUTHORS 20th CENTURY COMPOSERS VOCABULARY

Daily Double #1: $1600 20th Century Composers. Christian still leads with $12,600 to Sara's $1400. Steve has $5600. He bets $3000 on this: nickname of Roy Harris' Symphony No. 14, premiered in Washington, DC in 1976. "What is Bicentennial?" Correct for $15,600!

Daily Double #2: $1200 Vocabulary. Christian can put this game out of reach with $21,200 against Steve's $10,400. Sara is $200 down. He fronts $2400 on this: in a fighting mood? You can enter the fray or take part in this noisy disturbance, from the Italian for "to smash". "What is the ruckus?" Nope, it's a fracas, leaving him with $18,800.

At the end of the Double Jeopardy! Round... Bad news for Sara...

$18,800 -$1,000 $12,000

Being in the red at the end of Double Jeopardy! means a quick exit from the Tournament.

Final Jeopardy! category: THE PERSIAN GULF

 

ITS NATIONAL ANTHEM BEGINS, "O LORD, PROTECT FOR US OUR MAJESTY THE SULTAN"

 

Correct response: what is Omanr?

Steve's response: what is Saudi Arabia? WRONG. Wager: $2000. Total: $10,000
Christian's response: what is Oman? RIGHT. Wager doesn't matter.

SEMI-FINALIST: Christian Haines

Christian is another formidable foe who knows that you have to play the entire game. He just did enough to scrape by in the third Daily Double, keeping in mind that in order to finish the race on top, you still have to be in it. Something Sara learned the hard way today.

So we know that he's going to the final. We also know that Celeste DiNucci and Susan Mitchell are guaranteed slots against our four champs.

Final quarterfinal tomorrow.
