One season 25 Coryat to report: 23600 on the episode that originally aired 1-29-09 (28800 without negs).
Today’s contestants:
Meredith Lowmaster of Quincy MA
Erin McCready of Brooklyn NY
Glenn Fleishman of Seattle WA
Meredith took down Stephanie Jass yesterday.
Glenn swept Escapist Literature after Erin got the first clue right and went there. No one clapped, though! To be honest I didn’t notice til my second time through either.
Erin said “Can I get Worn Underneath for ___?” three times. Later she said “Can I get The Nobel Peace Prize Wars for 400, please?” In fact she started many a sentence that way, even when she wagered on Daily Doubles. I like Erin though. She seemed engaged and like she cared.
At the first break, Meredith had not responded yet. Maybe Glenn and Erin were faster on the buzzer. Glenn had gotten 8 right and one wrong, and had 3200. Erin had gotten 3 right and 2 wrong, and was in the hole 200.
The last clue of the round was the Daily Double. Erin found it. She’d gotten 6 right and one wrong since the break, and had 3600. Glenn had gotten 3 right and had 4800. Meredith had gotten 4 right and had 2800. Erin wagered 800 on this clue in The Tropic of Capricorn:
I thought this was a tough one, myself. I’m gonna put this one on the poll this week.
Erin came on strong though in Double Jeopardy, answering the first 3 clues correctly. By the time she found the Daily Double in The Topic of Capricorns at 800, she’d answered 10 correctly in the round and had 11600. Glenn was no slouch; he’d answered 5 correctly and one incorrectly, and had 9200. Meredith had gotten 4 right and one wrong and had 7200. Since the Daily Double was only in the 800 spot, I was hoping Erin would wager a lot. She wagered 1000 on this clue: “Capricorn is a goat who scales mountains, like this Capricorn who said in 1968, ‘I’ve been to the mountaintop.'” Erin got it right.
Mr. Trebek said there was less than a minute to go with 4 clues left. Obviously one of these was the other Daily Double, which Erin again found with one clue remaining. It helped that she’d gotten this one right in The Topic of Capricorns when Glenn negged on it: “In emergencies, Capricorns are resourceful, like this woman who nursed the wounded in the 1st Battle of Bull Run.” (I said Molly Pitcher!) It also helped Erin that Meredith had negged once since Erin’s first Double Jeopardy Daily Double, not to mention one of the clues since her first Daily Double had been a triple-stumper. Plus, Erin had gotten 2 right! All this said, she had 15400, Glenn had 7600, and Meredith had 6000. There was one clue left on the board, and remember Mr. Trebek had given a “less-than-a-minute” warning. I automatically thought “100!” for a wager, but what did Erin do? She wagered 2000 on this clue in Early American Construction: “This 16-letter science of tree-ring dating tells us a structure in Dedham, Mass. is the USA’s oldest timber frame house.” Let’s just say Erin didn’t have the correct response. (I did!) The last clue stayed covered for poor Erin! She’d have needed to get it right to regain her lock anyway. Mr. Trebek did point out it was “no longer a runaway.” Poor Erin indeed.
The Final Jeopardy category was Place Names. This was the clue: “From 1953 until 1990 Chemnitz, Germany was named for this man.” Glenn says on the message boards he spent 40-60 hours preparing for Jeopardy! I wonder if that includes any wagering strategy. He wagered all but a dollar on this! He was lucky to get this one right. If he hadn’t he’d have lost, even if Erin got it wrong too (which she did). Meredith got it wrong and lost 4000. Erin lost just 1801. So we will see Glenn show us more of his wagering strategy tomorrow. I do want to see more.
My Coryat today was only 15600; 20000 without negs. I didn’t have any negs in the Jeopardy round. Couldn’t make that last. There were plenty of triple-stumpers but I only got one, in It’s Always “I,” “I,” “I”: “Of the 4 basic operations in arithmetic, the 2 that each fit the category.” (that is, three i’s in the correct response).
