Jeopardy!
THE GOLDEN AGE // CELEBRITIES // SAME 3 LETTERS, 2 DIFFERENT MEANINGS // HELLO, WALLS // BIG GEO // ALSO A COLLECTIVE NOUN
DD1 - $1,000 - BIG GEO - At just shy of 500,000 square miles of mountains, jungle & arid coastline, it's the third largest country in South America (On the second clue of the game with $0, Will lost $1,000.)
Scores at first break: Will $1,000, Michael -$200, Joyce $2,000.
Scores entering DJ: Will $2,400, Michael -$400, Joyce $5,200.
Double Jeopardy!
LITERARY TITLE OCCUPATIONS // ____ FROM THE ____ // COLONIAL AMERICA // LEXICONGRESS // MEN OF MEDICINE // TV'S FANTASTICAL PLACES
DD2 - $1,600 - MEN OF MEDICINE - In 1853 this British anatomist wrote "On the Structure and Use of the Spleen"; his more famous work came 5 years later (Will added $1,000 to his leading score of $7,200.)
DD3 - $2,000 - LEXICONGRESS - Jason Smith currently holds this title that includes the name of the legislature of the United Kingdom (Will added $4,000 to his total of $13,400 vs. $7,600 for Joyce.)
Will was correct on both DDs in DJ, building just enough of a lead to lock down a runaway at $18,600 vs. $9,200 for Joyce. Michael had a chance to stick around for FJ on the last clue but missed, ending at -$400.
Final Jeopardy!
CINEMA HISTORY - Films made outside the U.S. in the ’50s like “Three Coins in the Fountain” & “Quo Vadis” led to an era dubbed “Hollywood on” this river
Both players were correct on FJ. Will added $100 to win with $18,700 for a two-day total of $44,301.
Final scores: Will $18,700, Michael -$400, Joyce $10,000.
That's before their time: No one knew "The Golden Age of" this medium that included the shows "Suspense" and "Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar" is radio, or the title occupation of a Rod Steiger movie, a person who often deals with desperate people, is pawnbroker.
Correct Qs: DD1 - What is Peru? DD2 - Who was Gray? DD3 - What is Parliamentarian? FJ - What is the Tiber?
