Semifinals: Mazurek/Hicton/Mitchell
November 12

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 started with 15... Now there are only nine. From there, we go to three... and finally... one. The five preliminary matches determined our nine semifinalists, the five game winners and the four wild cards. Today through Wednesday, they compete for one of three spots in the Thursday/Friday finals. No second chances on this second week of competition; it's win or go home.

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.

POETIC LICENSE GIRLS OF SONG THE ILLUMINATI Q WITHOUT U VIRTUAL MEDICINE

Daily Double: $800 The Illuminati. Susan leads it with $4600 against Doug's $4000 and Chris' $3200. She bets $2600 on this: Henry Jones, MA 1624, made quite an alumni gift to Ireland's Trinity College--this illuminated manuscript. "What is the Gutenberg Bible?" Nope, it was the Book of Kells, leaving her with $2000.

At the end of the Jeopardy! round...

Double Jeopardy! categories:

ART GAL-ERY 1910s CINEMA HAVE GUN, WILL TRAVEL ROAMIN' HOLIDAYS MIDDLE NAMES 2007 NATIONAL SPELLING BEE WORDS

Video Daily Double #1: $1200 Art Gal-ery. Susan has $3000 to Doug's $4200 and Chris' $3600. She bets $2000 on this: "The Stag", shown here is by Rosa Bonheur, the first woman awarded the Grand Cross of this French medal. "What is the Legion of Honor?" Correct for $5000!

Daily Double #2: $1200 Middle Names. Chris gets this one with $5200 against Doug's $600 and Susan's $5000. He fronts $1200 on this: a pioneering 1950s journalist: Roscoe. "Who is Edward R. Murrow?" Correct for $6400.

At the end of the Double Jeopardy! Round... Talk about a rally...

$10,000 $9,000 $5,400
Chris Doug Susan

Chris wins if he bets $8001 and is correct.

Doug wins if he bets between $1801 and $3599, and Chris is incorrect.

Susan wins if she bets $3400 and both Chris and Doug are incorrect and wager enough to cover each other.

Final Jeopardy! category: ENGLISH LANGUAGE WRITERS

 

IN HIS JOURNAL OF 1710 TO 1713, HE REFERRED TO HIMSELF AS "PRESTO"

  

Correct response: who was Jonathan Swift?

Susan's response: who is S. Peeps? WRONG. Wager: $3700. Total: $1700
Doug's response: who is Defoe? WRONG. Wager: $1801 Total: $7199
Chris's response: who is B. Franklin? WRONG. Wager: $8001. Total: $1999

SEMI-FINALIST: Doug Hicton

This is your classic case of the semifinalists done in by math. Doug needed only to cover so much territory (which he did). Susan just needed to keep it low (which she didn't), and Chris did what he had to do... but wasn't correct. Doug couldn't have played out this scenario any more perfectly.

Next three next time.
