Andy here with a recap of the fourth quarterfinal!
Today’s contestants:
It’s always fun to blog a Ken Jennings episode. Brings me back!
Alex is losing his mind again, claiming that there were two contestants from their third decade and one from the second? I don’t think that’s the case.
J! round categories:
FORTUNE 500 THROUGH THE DECADES
I’M A PAPAL PERSON
TOOLS OF THE KITCHEN
MOVIES BY ONE-WORD QUOTE
SHAKESPEARE
FROM THE…
I’M A PAPAL PERSON $400, the second clue of the game, had the Daily Double. Ken played it with $200. Betting $1,000, his clue: The fifth successor to St. Peter was Alexander I; the next one had this name. Ken gave Alexander II and fell to -$800.
By the end of PAPAL PERSON, the scores were:
Tom $400
Rachael -$800
Ken -$1400
Ten clues later, after FROM THE… and SHAKESPEARE, the scores were:
Ken $2,600
Tom $200
Rachael $200
(Ken got 7 straight clues, by my count!)
Rachael had some cue cards with her for her interview, leading to the following tweet:
I don’t care if it’s for sentimental reasons I can’t believe they let Rachael bring index cards w trivia onto the set— Arthur Chu (@arthur_affect)May 8, 2014
Tom did his best to keep with Ken during the next 15 clues, but Ken did keep a lead! Scores after 30:
Ken $6,400
Tom $3,400
Rachael $400
DJ! round categories:
ITS ONLY LAND BORDER
SCIENCE & TECH BOOKS
THE 1990s RAP SONG
“V”OCABULARY
YEAR DOUBLE ZERO
INITIALS TO ROMAN NUMERALS TO NUMBERS
Rachael got in to play the first Daily Double, under SCIENCE & TECH BOOKS $1600! Scores:
Ken $7,600
Tom $3,400
Rachael $1,600
Rachael bet just $1,000. Her clue: Harold Evans covers 200 years of science history in “They Made America: From” this “Engine to” this “Engine”. Rachael’s correct response put her at $2,600!
(Did you know: on early episodes of the original 60s Jeopardy!, the Daily Double was actually hidden behind a regular buzz-in clue that had to be answered correctly in order to even see the Daily Double? On a Triple Stumper, Art Fleming would say “That’s too bad, because behind that clue was the Daily Double.)
LAND BORDERS $1600 held the other Daily Double; Ken saw this one! Scores:
Ken $9,200
Tom $3,400
Rachael $2,600
Ken bet $5,800. His clue: This country’s is with France. His correct response put him at $15,000!
Ken ran INITIALS TO ROMAN NUMERALS TO NUMBERS to close out 19 correct response for him that round! Tom had just 5, Rachael just had 3!
