Today's players in the Jeopardy! Invitational Tournament are:

- Arthur Chu, a writer originally from Cleveland, Ohio; and
- MacKenzie Jones, a teacher & Ph.D. student from Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Jeopardy!
FLAT EARTH // PICK A CARD, ANY CARD // MAMMALS // 4-WORD SYNOPSES // MAGAZINES // SPORTY TALK
DD1 - 800 - FLAT EARTH - The Alkali Flat can be found in this New Mexico national park that's surrounded by a famous missile range (Arthur added 1,000.)
Scores at first break: MacKenzie 1,400, Arthur 2,800, David 3,400.
Scores entering DJ: MacKenzie 2,200, Arthur 6,400, David 4,200.
Double Jeopardy!
SUPREME COURT JUSTICES // SHORT SHAKESPEARE // RELIGIOUS RANKS AND TITLES // MUSEUMS SPREAD THEIR WINGS // WORLD STAR // FEELING JITTERY
DD2 - 1,600 - RELIGIOUS RANKS AND TITLES - Familiar from Monty Python sketches, this word for an Anglican or Episcopal priest is from the Latin for "substitute" (David took the lead by adding 5,000, improving to 10,400.)
DD3 (video) - 1,600 - FEELING JITTERY - (Shown is a photo of a viola with several items missing from the front) It describes someone weakened by nerves, and also the instrument here (Arthur, with 13,200 vs. 14,000 for David, bet 10,000 and missed.)
It was very close between Arthur and David when Arthur found DD3, made a big bet and missed, so David couldn't be caught heading into FJ with 18,400 vs. 5,600 for Arthur and 600 for MacKenzie.
Final Jeopardy!

Final scores: MacKenzie 590, Arthur 5,600, David 18,401.
Correct Qs: DD1 - What is White Sands? DD2 - What is vicar? DD3 - What is unstrung? FJ - What is mercury?
