Semifinals: Westphal/Glaser/Galiher
November 14

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...

ANCIENT HISTORY THE LARGEST IN AREA HEALTH MATTERS FRENCH MENU LOOKS LIKE WE MADE IT MANILOW!

Daily Double: $800 Manilow! Craig & Paul are tied for the lead with $600. Cliff is -$600 down. Craig bets $1000 on this: despite the title of this 1976 No. 1 hit of Barry's, the words & music are by Bruce Johnston. "What is 'I Write the Songs"?" That... would've gotten him the money. Instead, Craig blanks, leaving him with -$400.

At the end of the Jeopardy! round...

$6,000 $400 $2,200
Craig Paul Cliff

Double Jeopardy! categories:

SCULPTURE HISTORICAL ROLES ASTRO QUIZ NERDVANA POTPOURRI 14-LETTER WORDS

Paul's first words: "Alex... Take me to Nerdvana."

Daily Double #1: $1600 Astro Quiz. Paul gives it a run with $7200 to Craig's $6000, but this clue belongs to Cliff and his $3400. "I'll trade you." Seriously, though. He wagers $2000 on this: last names of the 2 men who in 1995 discovered a moving object neara globular cluster in Sagittarius. "Who are Hale and Bopp?" Correct for $5400!

Daily Double #2: $800 Sculpture. Cliff has $8600 to Paul's $9600 and Craig's $6000. He bets $2400 on this: Jean Arp went from Flat reliefs to the freestanding pieces called sculpture "in" this, like a type of theater. "What is amphitheatre?" Nope, it was in the round, dropping to $6200.

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

$4,000 $11,600 $7,000
Craig Paul Cliff

Paul wins if he bets $2401 and is right.

Cliff wins if he bets at least $4601 and Paul is incorrect.

Craig wins if Paul and Cliff bet against each other and both miss.

Final Jeopardy! category: NEWSPAPER PEOPLE

 

IN 1887 HER ASSIGNMENT FOR THE NEW YORK WORLD WAS AN EXPOSE OF THE INSANE ASYLUM ON BLACKWELL'S ISLAND

  

Correct response: who was Nellie Bly?

Craig's response: who is Nellie Bly? RIGHT. Wager: $4000. Total: $8000
Cliff's response: who is Nelly Blye? RIGHT. Wager: $4601. Total: $11,601
Paul's response: who is Dorothea Dix? WRONG. Wager doesn't matter...

FINALIST: Cliff Galiher

Cliff knew exactly what to do and he did it. But still, what a difference a half makes. Craig was riding high in the Jeopardy! round before stress (and a USC Trojan with a Daily Double win) got to him.

Next time, it's the doubleheader for all the cheddar.
