Quarterfinals: Greene/Haringer/Yates
November 12
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, Brennan Bushee, and Matt Jackson will be back. In 30 minutes, three players will join them.

Daily Double: $600 Literary Structure. Andrew just got himself out of the hole with zero. He's in the middle of Elliot's -$2600 and Kerry's $3400. He bets $1000 on this: referring to a symbol on the US $1 bill, the first book in the "Illuminatus!" trilogy is "The Eye in" this. "What is 'The Pyramid'?" RIGHT for $1000!

At the end of Jeopardy!... Elliot's finally out of the hole.

Daily Double #1: $1600 Outside the Bachs. Andrew has exactly half of Kerry's $8000. Elliot has... something, $800. He's going for it on this: it makes sense that the Handel suites known by this title were first performed on a barge. "What is 'Water Music'?" RIGHT for the tie, $8000!

Daily Double #2: $800 19th Century America. Kerry leads with $12,400 to $10,400. Elliot has... something more, $2400. She bets $4000 (C-note: #justwager4000) on this: while serving as Secretary of State 1861-69, he tried to annex the Dominican Republic & the Hawaiian Islands. "Who is ... Seward?" RIGHT for $16,400!
