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 and Arthur Chu are locked into next week. Today, we punch a third ticket.
Julia has the honor, and will start the Jeopardy! round...
Daily Double: $1000 The Ends of the Road. Jim is out of the hole with $800 to Julia's $6600 and Joshua's $3400. He bets the max of $1000 on this: construction of BR-010 began in the late 1950s to connect Belem with this new capital. "What is Brasilia?" Right for $1800. At the end of Jeopardy!...
Double Jeopardy! round...
Daily Double #1: $1200 Anatomical Etymology. Jim has $3000 to play with, and he can get right back into it. He bets it all on this: used as a synonym for thorn, this structure's name comes from a Latin word for "thorn". "What's a ... thumb?" No, it's a spine, leaving him with nothing. Daily Double #2: $1200 Cause of Debt. Julia trails Joshua, $10,600 to $11,600. She bets $4000 on this: the National Council on the Problem type of this activity says it affects 6 to 9 million Americans. "What is gambling?" RIGHT for $14,600! At the end of Double Jeopardy!...
Final Jeopardy! category: THE US CONSTITUTION
Correct response: what is habeas
corpus?
Julia picked a really bad time to have a really bad time, as Joshua, who kept close enough all game to make it a contest, capped the win with a correct Final Jeopardy! response. The $9100 may yet hold, but right now, all Julia can do is watch and wait... We will lock in the first two wild cards tomorrow. Will Julia be one of them? Stay tuned.
