  Can Mike hit $100,000 in four days tonight?
 
THREE DAY CHAMPION
Mike Lewis

Bloomington, MN
systems engineer
$92,401
Elizabeth McCullough
Lowell, MA
freelance researcher & administrative assistant
Jason Parker
Spring, TX
electrical engineer

Mike starts with $200 Disenfranchised. At the first break, Mike & Elizabeth are tied at $2000. Jason has $4600.

Mike finds the Daily Double under $1000 You Paid For This Ad. He fronts $2000 on this: looking to get away? This government agency of volunteers offers up "the toughest job you'll ever love". "What is the Peace Corps?" Correct for $5200! He ends up with $7400 to Elizabeth's $4200. Jason, on $3600, gets the first go in Double Jeopardy!...

... with $1200 Music & Literature, where he finds the first Daily Double under $1600. He bets it all on this: the novel on which this movie musical was based was by Phil Stong, whose grandfather ran the swine division at the Iowa one. "What's 'The Music Man'?" No, it was "State Fair", dropping him to zero. He'll try again with $1600 Languages. He bets the max of $2000 on this: this language's many dialects include Bergen, Telemark & Helgeland. "What is Swedish?" No, it was Norwegian, dropping him to -$400. He gets out of the hole with $2400 to Elizabeth's $9800. But Mike has owned this game with $15,000. Still, anything can happen.

If you're reading this and you've been a player at the Jeopardy! Tournament of Champions, go to Jeopardy.com now and update your contact information. "Jeopardy! may have plans for you." That's all Alex is saying right now.

Final Jeopardy! in "American Actors": reflecting a long friendship dating to a 1962 film they did together, Brock Peters gave the eulogy at this star's 2003 funeral. Correct response: who was Gregory Peck?

Everyone's wrong, but Mike has $10,399, enough to give him the day and $102,800 for four!

  Kathy Herman (Philadelphia, PA) has $20,000 through 5 questions to begin the show today. She has ATA and a Jump available.

The $15,000 from the 6th brings her total up to $35,000. She then jumps the 7th, which had $5,000, then sees this...

[Q8 - Wartime Exclamations]
Referencing a river and not the food, "Remember the Raisin" is a battle cry from what war?
A: Mexican-American War
B: War of 1812
C: Spanish-American War
D: Revolutionary War

Having no idea, Kathy asks the audience. 38% say C, while 31% say A. With those results, Kathy decides to walk with $17,500! As for the answer, it's actually B (14%)!

Katie Perkins (Philadelphia, PA) - Quality control analyst
She can do a good impression of Sarah Palin.

She jumps the 3rd question, which had $5,000. She is up to $11,100 going into this...

[Q5 - London Bridge is Moving]
While the London Bridge never "fell down," it was sold to entrepreneur Robert P. McCulloch and relocated where?
A: Lake Havasu City, Arizona
B: Lake City, Florida
C: Devils Lake, North Dakota
D: Moses Lake, Washington

Katie asks the audience, and 64% say A. She trusts them, and they're right, giving her... $7,000 more for a total of $18,100!

Another $2,000 from the 6th makes that total $20,100. The 7th, which had $500, is jumped. That is followed by this...

[Q8 - Puzzlemania]
Which brain-teasing amusement, imported from China in the 1800s, is said to have launched the world's first puzzle craze?
A: Sudoku
B: Tangrams
C: Rubik's Cube
D: Tic-Tac-Toe

Katie says it's not C. She feels that A was more recent, and she wouldn't consider D to be a puzzle. Still, she isn't sure enough about this, so she walks with $10,050! She was on the right track, though; it's B.

Dan Aiken (Fayetteville, GA) - Mortgage banker
He says that his current line of work has been rough in the past few years.

He is on a roll, heading into this with $35,500...

[Q6 - Celebrity Darlings]
In 2011, who topped three surveys that deemed her the most popular, most trusted and most likely to increase sales for products she endorsed?
A: Michelle Obama
B: Barbara Walters
C: Betty White
D: Oprah Winfrey

Dan decides to ask the audience, and 57% say D. He goes with that... but they're wrong! It's C (27%)! That means he leaves with $1,000.
