Jeopardy!

  Vijay has two... Can he make the hat trick?
 
Vijay Balse
orig. Mumbai, India
chemical engineer
$56,402, two days
Kirby Nelson
orig. Eatonville, WA
foreign service officer
Karen Hoffman
McHenry, IL
library page

Vijay starts with $200 King & Country. After a few queries about Elvis, Vijay finds the Daily Double under $600 19th Century Science. He bets all of it on this: he was teaching at the University of Lille when he began his studies of fermentation. "Who is Pasteur?" Correct for $2000! We have a nice tight game going into the half, with Karen in front on $5600 to Vijay's $4600. Kirby has $4400 and the first go in Double Jeopardy!...

... with $400 My Fair Lady (for his wife Joy), where Vijay would find the first Daily Double under $2000. He bets the level on this: a courtesan of Athens is said to have been the model for Praxiteles' statue of this Greek goddess. "Who is Aphrodite?" Correct for $14,200! He also finds the one under $1200 Zorba, the Greek Tutor. He can put it away here... and he will go for it with a $5000 bet on this: Zorba imparts the beauty of the Greek language, but some lessons are tricky, like the one teaching that "ne" means this. "What is zero?" No, it's "yes", dropping him to $19,200. He recovers to $20,800 to Karen's $10,000. But Kirby is within striking distance at $13,600.

Final Jeopardy! in "World Travel": if you want to visit this country, you can fly into Sunan International Airport or... or not visit this country. Correct response: what is North Korea?

Everyone misses, but Vijay still has enough to call himself the champ once again with $14,399, a three-day total of $70,801.

We need a couple to start off Monday's show. Calvin (Piñata) and Robin (party-goer) are the couple, and they get bubble gum, which they can keep or trade for Curtain #1, which has at least $500 behind it. They take the curtain, and don't take the $1,700 in the gum. Now they can keep the Curtain with $500, or go with Curtain #2, which has a vale of $1,000. Wifey says stay with Curtain #1, and they will, which means they weren't going on a trip to The Bahamas, worth $5,640! The next offer is Curtain #3, which has a mystery amount behind it. They keep Curtain #1, and pass up on a Cash Cow (ZONK!). Before they go to Curtain #1, Wayne re-offers the same $1,700 they passed on up. They don't want it, so they get a pair of fly scooters worth $3,598. Not a bad start to the show.

Wayne has a special deal for Antoinette (Pepper shaker); $400 for each item she can get out of her purse. He also has a special deal for Cameron (Civilian) - $400 for each time he can predict if she has the item. Sunglasses? Cameron says yes and she finagles her way to the cash. Next item: 2 pennies. Cameron says yes, and Antoinette can provide it. Last item: 3 pieces of makeup. Cameron says no, and she doesn't. So $800 for Antoinette and $1,200 for Cameron, which he can trade for Curtain #1. He doesn't, and doesn't get a Zonk Lemonade Stand (ZONK!) Will Antoinette part with her $800 on Curtain #2? She won't, and she doesn't get a trip to Laguna Beach worth $7,954. Cash is king.

Denise (Pink Flapper) gets cream cheese and $1 a gram. If she doesn't want it, she can have curtain #3. She'll go for the curtain, and not pick up $226. Instead, Denise gets a new bedroom suite worth $3,395.

We have a BRAND NEW deal to be made. Kimberly the Queen is the first person who can win a TOYOTA YARIS WORTH $14,685!!! It's time to play the Lotto. It's time to select 3 cards and hope for a match. Matching Wayne, Jonathan or Tiffany nets her $3,000, Matching the car gets the car. Kimberly goes with 2, 4 and 8. #2: Wayne. #4: Car. Wayne has a safe offer of a bar worth $1,787. Kimberly is going for it, but Wayne adds $500 for a $2,287 offer. Kimberly still goes for it, and she matches... Wayne! Not the car, but she does win $3,000. The other car was behind #1, but $3,000 is a nice deal.

It's time for another episode of the Jonathan Diaries. This episode features Eduardo (civilian) listening to an entry. This episode features horsepower, and it's behind curtain #3. Wayne wants it back for $500...$700...$900...$1,000...NO DEAL! Eduardo wants #3, so he's now the proud owner of miniature horses (ZONK!). Let's try another entry with Christina (Grizzly Bear), but Jonathan has an entry in Wayne's diary, which has a party going on behind Curtain #2. Wayne has a $900 offer also, but she wants the curtain and she gets the miniature horses art a house party (ZONK!) Party hearty, dude!

Let's have one more deal with Nicole (St. Patrick's Day Reveler), who gets a big jar of peanut butter. She gets $1 for each teaspoon in the peanut butter or take the Big Box. Nicole takes the box. $2 per teaspoon? Box. There's 150 teaspoons for a total of $300. Nicole will receive a digital photo-studio worth $2,599. That's a good deal...

...but the Big Deal worth $21,815 is better. Who wants it?

TRADE LIST:
Calvin/Robin: $3,598
Denise: $3,395
Kimberly: $3,000
Nicole: $2,599
Cameron: $1,200
Antoinette: $800
Eduardo: Horsing around
Christina: Party Animal

Will Calvin and Robin part ways with their Fly Scooters? Sure are. They select Door #1. Behind Door #3: Luxury Watches worth $6,200. Behind Door #1...a new range and pizza accessories worth $1,986. So they dip a little bit as they see, behind Door #2, trips to BOTH Hawaii and Alaska and $2,000 in spending cash. We start off light. Maybe we'll get heavier tomorrow.

It's a special week on TPIR, but more on that Wednesday. Monday, we start with Steven Raff, Krystal Buchholz, Christopher Humphries, Sean "Give Me Plinko or Give Me Death" Trace, and a shuffleboard table. It's $2500, as Steven shocks Drew into offering a scooter worth $2499 and an iPod jukebox worth $1496. Switch? Why not. That's... wrong.

Krystal takes a $900 set of color dumbbells not unlike my friend Aaron... and not unlike my friend Aaron, she's going to play Plinko! With chips from Drew, a $50 chopper, and a $43 alarm clock... she wins $11,100! That... was Sean's game. That's what happens when you bid $420, dude.

Christopher gets a $1599 freezer. Can he get a Ford Escape in Lucky Seven? In a word... no. He only gets as far as $27,31- before zeroing out.

Steven picks up $1000 as he wins the Big Wheel. Sean gets redemption, or at least the chance thereof, in a $1520 golf club pack and MAYBE a trip to Pebble Beach to try them out. He would hit the Bullseye in three tries. First up, Perrier spring water worth $1.79. Three.. $5.37. Next, Kraft Mac & Cheese topping... $2.25. Four... $9. Finally, Clorox disinfecting wipes... $2.99. Four.. Bullseye. $11.96 for the win.

James Fisher goes down and up thanks to a $1089 Armani sunglasses. Next for him, an outdoor dinette, a stroller, a gas grill, and a Chevrolet Cobalt. It's More or Less. First up, less than $3000 for the dinette? Yes at $2408. Less than $900 for the stroller? No...

Margaret Abdullaev wins a $1100 pool table and a shot at an HDTV with iPod if she knows when she's Coming ($7456) or Going ($6547). She's going... to win. She also wins at the Showdown.

First Showcase has a range, fridge, dishwasher, and trips to New York & London. Top winner Margaret passes, and Steven bids $15,363. Margaret gets a pair of laptops, a tiki bar, a trip to Cabo, and a Sea-Doo. She bids $17,000. Actual price: $23,762, a difference of $6762. Actual price of Steven's Showcase... $25,015, a difference of $9652. That's the big win for Margaret, giving her $31,409.
