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. In 30 minutes, we'll have your final nine...
Alex has the honor, and will start the Jeopardy! round...
Daily Double: $1000 Writing Your Own Name. Scott is behind with $600 to $2600 for Alex and $2800 for Michael. He fronts $1000 on this from Kelly... "A study finds that people who put the dots to the left of their Is & Js tend to do this, from the Latin 'cras' meaning 'tomorrow'." "What is procrastinate?" Right for $1600. At the end of Jeopardy!...
Double Jeopardy! round...
Daily Double #1: $1600 Deserts. Alex finds it with $8400 to Scott & Michael's $3000 a piece on the second clue. He fronts $5600 on this: the name of this desert of the Middle East is from the Hebrew for "dry". "What is Negev?" YES for $14,000! Daily Double #2: $1600 Time Magazine's Person of the Year. Michael has $4200 to Scott's $4600. He's a long away from Alex's $16,000. He bets it all on this: 1991: this mouthy media mogul. "Who is Larry Flynt?" No, it's Ted Turner. At the end of Double Jeopardy!... It's Alex's game to lose. But remember, wild cards are still left to be claimed.
Final Jeopardy! category: GREEK MYTHOLOGY
