Semifinals: Greene/Schultz/Feitel
November 16
Last week, fifteen of the best Jeopardy! players over the last year gave it their best shot one more time. Now only nine remain - the five winners plus the four wild-cards - and it's win or go home. At stake, a place in Thursday & Friday's two-part final.

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.

Our first group of three...

WILD CARD

Kerry has the honor, and will start the Jeopardy! round...

WHICH CAME
FIRST?		 AMERICAN
PLACE NAMES		 NURSERY
RHYME TIME		 SPORTS
DYNASTIES		 SODA POP
QUIZ		 THE
METROPOLITAN
OPERA

Daily Double: $800 American Place Names. John has $1200 to Dan's $200. Kerry yet to make a move. John is going all-in on this: the name of this Minnesota waterfall is Dakota for "Waterfall"; Longfellow named a Native American woman for it. "What is Hiawatha?" No, it's Minnehaha, leaving him with nothing.

At the end of Jeopardy!...

$5,200 -$600 $3,000

Double Jeopardy! round...

SONGS THAT
GET STUCK IN
YOUR HEAD		 HE WAS
THE POPE...		 LA
LITERATURE
FRANCAISE		 WHAT
A BEAST!		 MORTAL
MATTERS		 "CU" LATER

Daily Double #1: $2000 What A Beast! Dan has $9400 to Kerry's $5200. John is still in the hole. Dan goes #Wager4000 on this: bigger than jerseys, this UK cow breed from its own isle produces lots of slightly yellowish milk. "What is Hereford?" No, it was Guernsey, dropping him to $5400.

Daily Double #2: $800 He Was the Pope... Kerry has the lead with $9200 to $7400 for Dan. John has $1800. She bets $3000 on this: when the Arab Spring pro-democracy protests began in Tunisia. "Who was Benedict XVI?" That would've been right, but she said "Benedict XXVI". She drops to $6200.

At the end of Double Jeopardy!...

$7,400 $5,400 $9,000
Kerry John Dan

#WINORGOHOME

- John wins if... he bets it all and is correct, while his two opponents are wrong.
- Kerry wins if... she bets it all and is correct, while Dan is wrong. A correct answer with a bet of $3001 will lock John out.
- Dan wins if... he bets $5801 and is correct.

Final Jeopardy! category: CITIES OF THE EUROPEAN UNION

 

A HANSEATIC CITY, THIS PORT OF 1.8 MILLION IS THE LARGEST EUROPEAN UNION CITY THAT'S NOT A CAPITAL

  

Correct response: what is Hamburg?

John's response: what is Hamburg? RIGHT. Wager: $600. Total: $6000.
Kerry's response: what is Hamburg? RIGHT. Wager: $5400. Total: $12,800
Dan's response: what is Marseilles? WRONG. Wager doesn't matter.

FINALIST: Kerry Greene

It was anyone's to win, and Kerry backed into a spot in the final by virtue of a Final Jeopardy! brain-fart on Dan's part.

But who will join her? Find out tomorrow!
