Their occupations range from
stay-at-home parents to ace attorneys. They span both coasts of two countries. They are young and young-at-heart alike. And they have one thing in common: over the last calendar year, they've shown America that they all know how to play "Jeopardy!" very, very well and have earned a ticket to the most prestigious of all game show tournaments. On November 9 through November 20, though, the 15 players - nine men, four women - will compete against each other to see who will be the best of the best in this year's Jeopardy! Tournament of Champions. The winner will receive $250,000 and join the ranks of previous ToC winners in quiz immortality. First runner-up will win an additional $100,000, while second runner-up will pocket $50,000. All semifinalists - the five preliminary match winners and four wild-card qualifiers who scored the highest amongst non-winners - will get $10,000, while 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.
Dan has the honor, and will start the Jeopardy! round...
Daily Double: $800 Mr. Smith Goes to... Catherine finds it with $2000 to Dan's $3000 & Vaughn's $5600. She's GOING FOR IT! The clue: the University of Glasgow in 1737; in 1776 he publishes this. "What is 'The Invisible Hand'?" No, it was "The Wealth of Nations." At the end of Jeopardy!...
Double Jeopardy! round...
Daily Double #1: $1200 The Silent Letter In... Catherine has a shot to catch up with $4600 to Dan's $5800 & Vaughn's $8000. She goes for $2400 on this: a 4-letter word for a mausoleum. "What is B?" B for TOMB for $7000! Daily Double #2: $1200 Self-Portrait of the Artist. Look out, but Catherine's got another shot at it with $8200, better than Dan's $6600 but not as good as Vaughn's $16,800. Will she make a move? "I will wager $2000." For $10,200... Here is a rare self-portrait of this artist who made quite an impression. "Who is Mary Cassatt?" NAILED IT! for $10,200! At the end of Double Jeopardy!...
A late game surge puts Catherine in the driver's seat... Final Jeopardy! category: AMERICAN AUTHORS
Correct response: who is John
Steinbeck? SEMI-FINALIST: Catherine Hardee A quick surge in the late game, a savvy wager in the Final, and Catherine is guaranteed a slot next week. Vaughn stands a fairer-than-good chance of joining her. But the tournament is still young. Come back tomorrow to see what happens with three more players.
