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 and Brennan Bushee are stamped for next week. Tonight, what's seen as this week's marquee matchup.
Matt... dat smirk... has the honor, and will start the Jeopardy! round...
Today is Veterans Day, and category #6 is presented by "Modern Family's" Eric Stonestreet in cooperation with Got Your 6. Daily Double: $800 Technology Milestones. John is on $2400 to Matt's $3200. Jennifer has $600. He bets $2000 on this from Sarah at Harvard: "During World War II computer pioneer Grace Hopper helped maintain the Harvard Mark I & its successor the Mark II. One day, she removed a moth from the circuits, making her the first to literally do this to a computer." "What is debug?" Yep for $4400! At the end of Jeopardy!...
Double Jeopardy! round...
Daily Double #1: $1600 Medieval Literature. Matt has the lead with $10,200 to $8400 for John & $1200 for Jennifer. Matt decides to play for $5100 on this: his 14th century collection "Canzoniere" established & perfected the Italian sonnet form. That smirk, tho... "Who is Petrarch?" RIGHT for $15,300! Daily Double #2: $800 Dinosaurs. John's going to try and cut into Matt's lead, $14,400 to $23,700. Jennifer has $10,000. He bets $3000 on this: in 2015 scientists concluded that this old name was valid after all; the Apatosaurus was another beast. "What is Brontosaurus?" RIGHT for $17,400. At the end of Double Jeopardy!...
Final Jeopardy! category: ABBREVIATIONS
Correct response: what is PC? SEMI-FINALIST: Matt Jackson Matt does it again, albeit a little late, but good enough to seal it away in Final Jeopardy!.
