Preliminaries: Galiher/Hicton/Rostan
November 9

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 well as a copy of the Jeopardy! DVD home game. As always, any and all winning accrued depends on how far up the ladder a player goes.
 
We'll have your final nine after game five...

STATES BY COUNTIES FASHION FUN POLIDICKS The New York Times
Business		 THE BELOVED BRACHIOSAURUS FLOWERS

Daily Double: $800 Polidicks. Doug is the only one in money with $800 after doing the Madden Jump. He bets $1000 on this: in 1995 this "military" man became house majority leader. "Uh... Who is Dick... no idea." It was Dick Armey. "Good one, Alex." He's left with -$200.

At the end of the Jeopardy! round...

$4,600 $600 $4,800
Cliff Doug Andrew

Double Jeopardy! categories:

AUTOBIOGRAPHERS WE'RE NUMBER 2! PHONETICS .ORG -ISMS FLOW-ERS

Daily Double #1: $1600 .org. Andrew leads it with $13,600 to Cliff's $7800. Doug has -$1000. Andrew bets $2400 on this: known mainly by its initials, this conservation group uses panda.org as its home address. "What the World Wildlife Fund?" Correct for $16,000.

Daily Double #2: $1200 Flow-ers. Doug is back in the blue with $1000 to Cliff's $7800 and Andrew's $16,000. He bets $2000 on this: it's the longest river on the Iberian Peninsula. "What is the Tagus River?" Correct for $3000!

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

$14,200 $8,200 $16,000
Cliff Doug Andrew

An important number to remember is $21,800. Cliff and Andrew can reach that and assure themselves of a place next week. Doug needs to either win or hope that Cliff and Andrew bet big and miss.

Final Jeopardy! category: HISTORIC ARCHITECTS

 

HE DESIGNED SC's STATE CAPITOL DURING THE CIVIL WAR; HIS MOST FAMOUS BUILDING HAD BURNED DURING THE WAR OF 1812

  

Correct response: who was James Hoban?

Doug's response: who is Hoban? RIGHT. Wager: $8200. Total: $16,400
Cliff's response: who is Baptiste? WRONG. Wager: 2800. Total: $11,400
Andrew's response: who is Lafayette L'Enfant? WRONG. Wager: $13,000. Total: $3400.

SEMI-FINALIST: Doug Hicton

Andrew could've found himself in the semifinal, if only he didn't go too far. As a result, he is knocked out of the tournament. Cliff and Doug, though, had differing strategies, different ways of attacking the board, and both seemed to work for a moment. It will be interesting to see them come into play next week.

And speaking of, here are you final nine!
