The Gackles couldn't keep up with the Adams in the game, even the Adams got the winning steal on the last survey by knowing the #3 answer left in play, (maybe they saw that same survey from 2006) to keep their title once again.

Jeremy & Tony are determined to get Fast Money done right. Jeremy had some light answers on his side to score 66. Tony could only get one of the #1s on his side, so it was another rough one for the guys, and finish with an additional total of $600.

Fast Money #1 answers
- The musical instrument that sounds the worst when it's played by a beginner: Violin
- A word or phrase that starts with "fast": Fast food
- Tell me a piece of sporting equipment most guys own: Baseball glove
- How long does a movie star's marriage last?: 2 years (Tony)
- Something you think other people spend too much money on: Car

  Congrats to Jim Coury for a tournament well fought. Today, John hopes to play for a TOC spot.
 
THREE DAY CHAMPION
John Anneken

Cincinnati
post-doctoral researcher
$60,112
Robyn Nelson
Staten Island, NY
bookseller & writer
Paul Curcio
Philadelphia
web designer

John starts with $200 Religious Leaders, finding the Daily Double under $800. He bets the max of $1000 on this: in the 1880s she taught her healing methods to students at her Massachusetts Metaphysical College. "Who is Mary Baker Eddy?" Right for $1800! He has the lead going into the half with $8000 to $5600 for Paul. Robyn's $2400 gives her the first crack at the board in Double Jeopardy!...

... with $400 Unreal TV Newspeople. Paul finds the first Daily Double under $1600 Chemistry. He fronts $2400 on this from Jimmy in the J! Lab. "On TV, these 2 symbols play a part on 'Breaking Bad'. But in chemistry, they represent these 2 elements, one a toxic liquid, the other a metal." "What are bromine & barium?" FOR $10,800! John finds the other under $1600 Classical Music. He's a little more than halfway to Paul with $12,400 to his $24,000. He bets $2000 on this: this haunting Mussorgsky work was inspired by a Nikolai Gogol story about witches gathering to hold a Sabbath. "What is... 'Night on Bald Mountain'?" Should've went all-in, it's good for $14,400. He ends up with that much to Paul's $24,000. Robyn has $6000.

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 "20th Century People": in a PS to an April 12, 1945 letter, he wrote, "This was dictated before the world fell in on me... What a blow it was. But--I must meet it." Correct response: who was Harry Truman?

Everyone said Hitler. Everyone's wrong. Paul bets enough to win with $19,103. John leaves with $61,112.

Brand new week starts with Patricia Brierley, Jamel Settles, Christine deMeo, and Janaye Williams bidding on a laptop. The $900 Vaio goes to Patricia, and she'll use that to plan her trip to New York City, provided she wins Freeze Frame. She stops it at $6325... and that's good! 

Janaye gets a $719 satellite radio, which goes surprisingly well with a Chrysler 200LX. The price is among the 5 Pricetags.

$19,990
$22,525
$20,775
$21,899
$23,322

... but Janaye ends up wiping out instead. If you find yourself playing for a Chrysler 200LX, remember, they're $19,990.

Verlee Marion takes a $964 set of watches, which you can win at priceisright.com. Now guess what time it is... it's time for a digital smoker, a 3DTV, and a pair of folding bikes. It's also time for Eazy as 1-2-3. The smoker... $699. The bikes... $1398. The TV... $3149!

Janaye spins out $1000 on the Big Wheel. Meanwhile, Edward Buck III, the first deaf player in the show's 41-year history, spins out a winning bid on a $1150 digital camera with lens. Now he (and his ASL interpreter Matthew) can share a jetski (if that's not against show policy) in Squeeze Play. The board:

103784

Edward takes out the 0... Needed to take out the 3 instead.

Michael Leal goes down and up thanks to a $3000 electric guitar. Next for him... $10,000 in Grand Game! Target: $5.50. Reynolds baking cups... $1.69! Kingsford lighter fluid... $4.39! Jell-O no-bake cheesecake... $3.49! He's going for it on Minties dog treats... $6.88.

Which leaves us with Jamel and Christine, who've been in Bidder's Row the entire show. One of them, or perhaps both of them, are heading to the Land of Parting Gifts if they don't get in on a Gucci purse & wallet combination. The price: $1760. The winner... Christine! Now she gets to play with a Chevrolet Spark in Balance Game. The bags: $920, $6000, $7000, and $8000. She bags up $14,920... but it was too much. It's $13,920.

Edward (and Matthew) take on Janaye in the Meek-Shall-Inherit-the-Earth Showcase Round. First up, get your drink on with a trip to Idaho, a wine fridge, and a trip to Italy. Top winner Janaye passes, and Edward bids $20,000. Janaye gets the deep blues of a sapphire/diamond bracelet, a cruise of the Mediterranean, and a sailboat. She bids $21,000. Acutal price: $31,639, a difference of $10,639. Actual price of Edward's Showcase... $22,440, a difference of $2440. What's the sign for "winner"? It's the smile on Edward's face, as he takes away $23,590!

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?
by Don Harpwood

Host: Meredith Vieira

  Michael Barbour (Syracuse, NY) - Professor
His great-great-great-granduncle was a pirate.

He gets $1,000 from the 1st question, then jumps the 2nd, which only had $500. He then sees this...

[Q3 - Leading Lady]
In 2012, Marissa Mayer became the first pregnant woman to become a what?
A: Surgeon General
B: NASCAR driver
C: Fortune 500 company CEO
D: NASA astronaut

Michael asks the audience, and 55% say C. He agrees with them, and they're right, giving him... $5,000 more for a total of $6,000!

He then jumps the 5th question, which had just $100. Eventually, he gets to this with $33,000...

[Q9 - That's the Truth]
What poet's 1823 work "Don Juan" is commonly credited with introducing the phrase "truth is stranger than fiction"?
A: Rudyard Kipling
B: Lord Byron
C: Alfred Tennyson
D: William Butler Yeats

Michael is not familiar with this work. He feels that A is later, and C is primarily a poetry writer. He also says that B "loved his ladies." In the end, he walks with $16,500! As for the answer, it's B.

Jill Bristow (Canoga Park, CA) - Security officer
She also likes to do palm readings.

After getting $2,000 from the 1st question, she faces this...

[Q2 - Literary Ladies]
What best-selling author was the first person to be inducted into the Romance Writers of America Hall of Fame?
A: Sue Grafton
B: Nora Roberts
C: Patricia Cornwell
D: Mary Higgins Clark

After eliminating A and C, Jill goes with D... but it's B! That sends her home with $1,000.

Jonathan Reinstein (Dix Hills, NY) - Legal researcher
He is also a student (at night).

He has $10,000 from the 1st question when this pops up...

[Q2 - Best Sayings]
Which of these animal parts is used to describe something of the highest quality?
A: Frog's feet
B: Beaver's teeth
C: Tiger's tail
D: Bee's knees

Jonathan is stuck between two of those, but he does have something in mind. Still, he turns to the audience, and 80% say D. He goes with that, and it is indeed D, adding to his bank... $2,000! That makes his total $12,000 as the horn goes off; Jonathan returns tomorrow!
