They were the smartest...
fiercest... most competitive... most talked about class
of Tournament of Champions in Jeopardy! history. Now
they come together for another two-week event. The
winner gets $250,000, bragging rights, and the title of
Jeopardy! super champion, a title that comes with it
quiz immortality.
Second runner up gets $100,000. Third place gets $50,000. Semifinalists win $10,000. Everyone is guaranteed $5000 for their participation. As always, any money won depends on how high up the ladder a player goes. We begin, as always... with Game 1.
Ben has the honor, and will start the Jeopardy! round...
Daily Double: $800 A Little Alliteration. Ben finds it with $1800 to Rebecca's $1600 & John's $1200. He bets it all on this: "Put the ship of state on its feet" & "play your cards to the hilt" are 2 of these expressions. "What are figures of speech?" No, they are mixed metaphors, leaving him with nothing. At the end of Jeopardy!...
Double Jeopardy! round...
Daily Double #1: $1600 They Turned My Book Into a Movie. John has $2000 to Rebecca's $3800, but this round has belonged to Ben with $10,000. He's going for it on this: "Apocalypse Now". "Who is Kubrick?" No, it was Joseph Conrad, based on "Heart of Darkness", leaving him with nothing. Daily Double #2: $1600 What Kind of Animal Are You? Ben is in front by a wide margin, $11,600 to Rebecca's $3800 & John's $1200. He fronts just a bill on this: Grete Waitz served as one of these pacesetters in her first New York City Marathon; she won the race & set a world record. "What's a rabbit?" RIGHT for $11,700! At the end of Double Jeopardy!...
Not a runaway, but if you consider that you're playing for next week, this game is all but decided. Final Jeopardy! category: STATE HOLIDAYS
Correct response: what is Alaska?
(William Seward)
A little weak on the buzzer to start, but came back strong and poured on the pressure during the Double Jeopardy! round to make this almost a decided match. He'll be back, and we may see Rebecca - who won second place on a stone guess - as well. But the tournament is still young. Come back tomorrow to see what happens with three more players.
