Quarterfinals: Chu/Moore/Peffer
November 11
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.

Ben Ingram has his spot in the semifinal locked up. Who will join him tonight?

Daily Double: $1000 Literary Awards. Andrew comes into this tied with Arthur at $2600. Rani has $600. He bets the level on this: though dead almost 20 years, she won a 1982 Pulitzer for her "Collected Poems". "Who is Plath?" RIGHT for $3600!

At the end of Jeopardy!...

SEA		 SUPERMAN TO
HER LOIS LANE

Daily Double #1: $1600 The Caspian Sea. Andrew leads with $5600 to Arthur's $5200. Rani has $4600. He fronts $2000 on this: the Caspian's southern shoreline borders this country at the foot of the Elburz Mountains. "What is Georgia?" No, it was Iran, leaving him with $3600.

Daily Double #2: $1200 All The Presidents' Children. Arthur has been ice cold in this round with $15,200 to $4400 for Andrew and $2200 for Rani. He bets $3000 on this: in 1999 People Magazine said his "death left unbearable pain, unfulfilled promise." "Who is John F. Kennedy, Jr.?" RIGHT for $18,200!

At the end of Double Jeopardy!... It's Arthur's game to lose, but remember, there are still at least three wild-cards left for contention.

Arthur Andrew Rani

Final Jeopardy! category: THE OXFORD ENGLISH DICTIONARY

 

AS OF 2013 THIS 3-LETTER VERB COMMON IN SPORTS, THEATER & POLITICS HAS THE LARGEST ENTRY IN THE ONLINE OED

  

Correct response: what is run?

Rani response: what is run? RIGHT. Wager: $3799. Total: $7599.
Andrew's response: what is win? WRONG. Wager: $5199. Total: $1.
Arthur's response: what is run? RIGHT. Wager doesn't matter.

SEMI-FINALIST: Arthur Chu

It looked like it could go either way, then Double Jeopardy! happened, and the Arthur Chu we've come to see came to play. But be on the lookout for Rani. Her score may very well gain her entry into next week as well.

We know two players who won't be around for next week already. See another that will tomorrow.
