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.
The winner of this match
gets Kerry Greene and Alex Jacobs.

Daily Double #1: $2000
World Cities. Catherine's been lighting up the board
today with a $10,000 tie with Matt. Andrew has
$6000. She does the #Wager4000 on this: in 1907 a
500,000-year-old "man" was found near & named for
this southwest German city. "What is Cologne?" No,
it was Heidelberg, leaving her with $6000.
Daily Double #2: $2000 Show Tunes.
Matt has $12,000, exactly double both Catherine and Andrew. He fronts $8000 to
lock it away on this: Act I of "Wicked" ends with this high-flying song. "What
is 'Defying Gravity'?" RIGHT!
At the end of Double Jeopardy!, it's
Matt's game to lose.
