Jeopardy! by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or jeopardy.com
Host: Alex Trebek
Susannah Jacobson (communications assistant from Madison, WI); $56,001, two days
Michelle Bonduran (medical coordinator orig. from Greensboro, NC)
AK Subramanian (high school teacher from Villa Park, CA)

It's the Fourth of July, and Susannah's been launching fireworks for the last week.

Susannah starts with $200 Names in Sports, as she takes the lead at the TV time out, with $2200 to AK's $1600. Michelle has $400.

Michelle finds the Daily Double under $800 Odd Jobs. She bets the level on this: pronounced one way, it's an archer; the other, it's the guy with the oar closest to the boat's front. "What is a bowsman?" So close, it was a bowman, giving Michelle's $200. At the end of this lackluster Jeopardy! round, Susannah remains in the lead with $3800 to AK's $2600. Michelle, with $2000, starts up Double Jeopardy!...

... with $400 Plant Life, finding the first Daily Double under $1200. She bets only $1000 on the tree family that the sago isn't.... "What is a pine?" Again, really close. It was a palm, leaving her with $1800. Susannah can make it darn near impossible to be caught with the second Daily Double under $2000 American Rivers. She bets the level on this: it's the river mentioned in the title of Indiana's state song. "What is the Ohio?" Nope, it's the Wabash, but she still leads with $11,000. She still leads at the end of this round, $12,600, but it's not a runaway with $9400 for Michelle. Meanwhile AK's out of bullets with $5000.

Final Jeopardy! in "The 20th Century": on Oct. 16, 1964 at Lop Nor this nation detonated its first nuclear device. Correct question: What is China?

No one is right...and for Susannah, it's the end of the road as she bets a tad too much. Michelle takes this one with $6500, while Susannah leaves with $58,001.
