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 have three champs yesterday. By the end of today, we will have six.
Drew has the honor, and will start the Jeopardy! round...
In category 6, each correct response can be made from the letters in the word "Obsolete". Daily Double: $1000 Florida Geography. Sarah has $1000 to Terry's $2000 & Drew's $2200. She's going for it on this: its name may be a corruption of the Spanish for "Little St. John", & it flows from the Okefenokee Swamp to the Gulf. "What is the Suwannee River?" That... would've doubled her score, but "Pensacola" drops her to nothing. At the end of Jeopardy!...
Double Jeopardy! round...
Daily Double #1: $1600 Where There's a Will... Drew has $3800, within reach of Terry's $6400 and Sarah's $6200. He bets... $3000 on this: this heiress' 1993 will disposed of property in NYC, Newport, Beverly Hills & Honolulu & sent $10 million to Durham, NC. "Who is.. Peggy Guggenheim?" No, it was Doris Duke, leaving him with $800. Daily Double #2: $2000 Scientifically Related. Drew tries again with a max wager on this: the cypress family includes this conifer named for a Cherokee. "What is a Seminole?" No, it was the Sequoia, leaving him with -$1600. At the end of Double Jeopardy!... It's over for Drew...
... leaving us with what amounts to a $10,000 game of chicken. Final Jeopardy! category: TUNNELS
Correct response: what are Honshu &
Hokkaido?
Not a particularly wondrous game, but it's good enough to get Terry to next week. Also good enough to get Rebecca Rider AND Julia Collins in to the semis as Wild Cards. On the outside looking in: Jim Coury ($5600) and Rani Peffer ($7599). We will name your final nine in 24 hours. To read all about the tournaments and the contestants, go to www.jeopardy.com. |
