Andy here with the final episode of the week! Remember that the Teacher’s Tournament begins next week!
Today’s contestants: Vimal Murthy and Amanda DeMeola are the challengers for Rani Peffer, who won $41,135 in her first 3 days. Will she win her all-important fourth game?
J! round categories:
AMERICAN POETRY
DEPARTMENT STORES
“LEAD” THE WAY
CARTOGRAPHIC ABBREVIATIONS
THE OSCAR-WINNING ROLE
SOUTH AFRICAN WILDLIFE
All 3 contestants had good luck with getting in on the buzzer over “LEAD” THE WAY, CARTOGRAPHIC ABBREVIATIONS and SOUTH AFRICAN WILDLIFE, the scores at the end of 15 were:
Vimal $3,200
Rani $3,000
Amanda $1,200
Amanda’s a bit of a collector – she has the original cast recording of over 500 musicals. Rani said that she would be interested in winning enough to by a small- or medium- sized island, “like Cyprus”.
Going back, the Daily Double stayed hidden for awhile; it was under AMERICAN POETRY $800 – the second-to-last clue of the round! It was Rani’s to play, and the scores were:
Rani $5,400
Amanda $3,800
Vimal $3,600
Rani bet $800. Her clue: In “Paul Revere’s Ride”, these 9 words precede “and I on the opposite shore will be”. She went straight to her fingers to count, gave the 9 words, and went to $6,200 as the end-of-round signal played.
DJ! round categories:
THE SWEET 1600s
PANTSLESS TV
GLASS & GLASSMAKING
FILTHY 4-LETTER WORDS
IMMIGRANTS
FROM THE “OL” COUNTRY
Vimal did quite well in FROM THE “OL” COUNTRY and found the Daily Double at the bottom of it! Scores were:
Rani $6,600
Vimal $6,000
Amanda $3,800
Vimal bet $3,000. His clue: This South American country has coasts along both the Atlantic & Pacific Oceans – Vimal went to the other corner of “Atlantic, Pacific, Both, or Neither” with “Bolivia” and fell to $3,000.
Meanwhile, Amanda found her buzzer mojo in FILTHY 4-LETTER WORDS and PANTSLESS TV to take the lead! Meanwhile, Vimal tried hunting all over IMMIGRANTS for the Daily Double until it appeared at $800! The scores were:
Amanda $10,200
Rani $9,000
Vimal $8,600
Vimal bet $3,000. His clue: He was California’s first foreign-born governor since Irishman John Downey, who left office in 1862. His correct response put him into the lead at $11,600, and gave us less than a minute to deal with GLASS.
The end-of-round signal came with 2 clues left on the board, and we had scores of:
Vimal $12,000
Amanda $10,200
Rani $7,800
FJ! category: OLYMPIC HISTORY
FJ! clue: In London in 2012, judo & the 800m run included the first female Olympians ever from this Mideastern country
Rani 7800 + 7777 = 15577
Amanda 10200 – 10200 = 0
Vimal 12000 – 8401 = 3599
I think Alex screwed up at the end of this one — he said “we’ll see you Monday” to Rani but the Jeopardy! website says that the Teacher’s Tournament starts on Monday! Oops!
