Semifinals: Haines/DiNucci/Spoeri
November 13

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.

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

BOOKS OF THE APOCRYPHA ESPN ENTERTAINMENT JAPANESE THEATRE I WANT CANDY IT'S ALL BLACK & WHITE TO ME FROM THE GREEK

Daily Double: $600 It's All Black & White to Me. Celeste, who thought that she'd never find it, finds it with $2000. She can take the lead with Jeff at $3600 and Christian at $3200. She bets it all on this: famous for his B&W images used in psychology, as a youth he was nicknamed "Kleck", German for "inkblot". "Who is Rorschach?" Correct for $4000 and the lead!

At the end of the Jeopardy! round...

$5,600 $4,800 $5,000
Christian Celeste Jeff

Double Jeopardy! categories:

OPERA FUNNY OR DIE A SLICE OF LETTISH UNDER THE VOLCANO YOGA TIME EPONYM DROPPER

Daily Double #1: $1600 Opera. Celeste finds the hardest category on the board and immediately goes picking. Works out to her advantage, as she has $6000 to Jeff's $5000 and Christian's $4400. She wagers $4000 on this: this 1892 Leoncavallo work has a play within the opera. "What is... um... 'The Bartered Bride'?" Nope, it was Pagliacci, leaving her with $2000.

Daily Double #2: $2000 Yoga Time. Christian has a chance to get back in the thick of it, and he takes it leading with $10,000 to Celeste's $5600 and Jeff's $5800. He bets $1500 on this: according to yoga philosophy, these "wheels" are the 7 main centers of spiritual energy in the human body. "What are the chakras?" Correct for $11,500!

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

$13,100 $8,800 $15,400
Christian Celeste Jeff

Jeff wins if he bets $10,801 and is right.

Christian wins if he bets between $4299 and $8500, and both Jeff and Celeste are incorrect.

Celeste wins if she bets $4200 and both Jeff and Christian are incorrect.

Final Jeopardy! category: THE MOVIES

 

THE TITLE OF THIS AWARD-WINNING 1963 FILM REFERS TO THE NUMBER OF FILMS ITS DIRECTOR FELT HE HAD MADE TO THAT POINT

  

Correct response: what is "8 1/2"?

Celeste's response: what is 8 1/2? RIGHT. Wager: $6601. Total: $15,401
Christian's response: what is 8 and 1/2? RIGHT. Wager: $2301. Total: $15.401
Jeff's response: what is "Ocean's Eleven"? WRONG. Wager doesn't matter...

... TIEBREAKER! One more clue. First player to ring in with the correct response moves on. No sudden death here, we want a correct response, and we want it now.

The category: CHILD'S PLAY

 

A LONGFELLOW POEM & A LILLIAN HELLMAN PLAY ABOUT A GIRL'S BOARDING SCHOOL SHARE THIS TIMELY TITLE

  

That's Celeste.

"What is 'The Children's Hour'?"

FINALIST: Celeste DiNucci

Don't fault Christian for not going for the kill. Indeed he did. The thing is... so did Celeste. It was just a race to the signaling device that decided this one.

Final three next time.
