Jeopardy! recap for Wed., Mar. 8 - High School Reunion day 13

 Here are the contestants for the first of two games to determine the winner of the High School Reunion tournament:


- Justin, a first-year student at Brown, told us about his school's fake professor of "cracked pots"; 

- Maya, a senior at Emory, wants to work in public health; and

- Jackson, a junior at Vanderbilt, overslept but still got an 85 on an exam.

MOUNTAIN HIGH, VALLEY LOW // FAMOUS PAIRS // LIABLE IN THE BIBLE // TV REALITY & COMPETITION SHOWS // NATIVE AMERICANA // WE ARE PRO-ANTONYMS


DD1 - $600 - LIABLE IN THE BIBLE - These paired cities, "going after strange flesh, are... suffering the vengeance of eternal fire" (Justin doubled to $3,600.)


Scores at first break: Jackson $3,600, Maya $400, Justin $5,600.


Scores going into DJ: : Jackson $4,800, Maya $2,000, Justin $9,000.


Double Jeopardy! 


IT HAPPENED IN ASIA // HEALTH & MEDICINE // FANS OF THE SINGER // SHAKE IT OFF! // AUNTIE HERO // "U" BELONG WITH "ME"


DD2 - $2,000 - HEALTH & MEDICINE - Obesity has been linked to OSA, or obstructive this disorder, where breathing is disrupted while slumbering (Maya moved to a closer third by doubling to $4,000.)


DD3 - $1,200 - IT HAPPENED IN ASIA - On Aug. 30, 1999, almost 80% of the people of East Timor voted for independence from this country (Justin added $3,001 to his score of $11,000 vs. $8,000 for Jackson..)


Justin was two-for-two on DDs, giving him first place into FJ with $18,401 vs. $14,000 for Jackson and $4,400 for Maya.


Final Jeopardy!


GEOGRAPHIC NAME'S THE SAME - The busiest passenger port in the U.K., it shares its name with a capital of one of the original 13 states


Only Jackson was correct on FJ, adding $10,000 to take the lead into tomorrow's contest with $24,000. Justin dropped $4,831 and will carry over $13,570, while Maya lost $1,030 and will enter Thursday's game at $3,370.


The top combined scorer over the two games will earn $100,000 and a spot in the next ToC.


Triple Stumper of the day: In "U" BELONG WITH "ME", no one could provide the final word in the Thoreau quote, "If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer."


Correct Qs: DD1 - What are Sodom and Gomorrah? DD2 - What is sleep apnea? DD3 - What is Indonesia? FJ - What is Dover?
