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. Catherine Hardee has the first seat on semifinals row. One of these players will join her...
Greg has the honor, and will start the Jeopardy! round...
Daily Double: $600 Oklahoma! Brennan has the lead with $2400 to Greg's $1800. Kristin yet to make a move. HE'S GOING FOR IT! The clue: this first state capital was named for a judge, not a folk singer. "What is Norman?" No, it was Guthrie. At the end of Jeopardy!...
Double Jeopardy! round...
Daily Double #1: $2000 Nicknames for Feminists. Kristin's got some ground to cover with $3800. Greg's in the lead with $11,000 to Brennan's $5600. She only bets $200 on this: on this woman's 1848 statement demanding the vote, Lucretia Mott said, "Lizzie, thee will make us ridiculous." "Who is Stanton?" Elizabeth Cady Stanton puts her at $4000. Daily Double #2: $1600 Holidays & Observances. Kristin's got a look of utter horror on her face with $5200 to $5600 for Brennan. Can take second place, but can't take over Greg's $11,000. She's putting up $2000 on this: it became an official French holiday in 1880, 91 years after the event that inspired it. "What is Bastille Day?" Boom, $7200. At the end of Double Jeopardy!...
From a blowout to a $12,000 game of chicken. Final Jeopardy! category: INAUGURAL ADDRESSES
Correct response: who is James
Monroe? SEMI-FINALIST: Brennan Bushee The youngest in the field is the latest in the row after surviving a rally attempt from Kristin, who could come back based on her score. Same deal with Greg. Let's see how the next of the week's combatants fare. ... those next three are coming back tomorrow. To read all about the tournaments and the contestants, go to www.jeopardy.com. |
