Here are today's contestants:
- Beth Orlansky, a retired public interest attorney from Jackson, Mississippi;
- Ian Samson, a firefighter from Matthews, North Carolina; and
- Greg Shahade, a chess player from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Greg is a two-day champ with winnings of $54,601.
Jeopardy!
HISTORY'S MYSTERIES // TALKING ABOUT FLIGHT CLUB // THE ELEMENTS // GIVE YOURSELVES A "HAND"! // PLAYING SOME RECENT HITS // IT'S NOT EMILY DICKINSON!
DD1 - $800 - TALKING ABOUT FLIGHT CLUB - Until 2005 this airline had a customer loyalty program called the Flying Dutchman (Greg doubled to $8,800.)
Scores at first break: Greg $9,400, Ian $1,400, Beth $0.
Scores entering DJ: Greg $11,800, Ian $2,400, Beth $1,000.
Double Jeopardy!
ON THE "M"AP // THE ENGLISH ROMANTIC POETS // SPEECHES // WORLD OF FOOD // A NIGHT AT THE SPACE OPERA // BEFORE & AFTER
DD2 - $1,200 - THE ENGLISH ROMANTIC POETS - Keats tells this subject of an ode, "Thou wast not born for death, immortal bird!" (Greg added $5,000 up to $16,400.)
DD3 - $1,600 - ON THE "M"AP - The name of this Alberta city refers to an actual accessory called a saamis (On the next clue after DD2, Greg dropped $6,000 down to $10,400.)
Again Greg found both DDs in DJ quickly and had a net loss on them, so the game was alive into FJ with Greg at $16,000 vs. $10,000 for Ian and $4,200 for Beth.
Final Jeopardy!
HISTORIC DECLARATIONS - The 1848 seneca falls declaration added these 2 words to the declaration of independence line beginning, "we hold these truths..."
Greg and Beth were correct on FJ. Greg added $4,001 to win with $20,001 for a three-day total of $74,602.
Final scores: Greg $20,001, Ian $0, Beth $4,233.
Judging the writers: There was a category made up of questions, so while contestants are penalized for ignoring the answer-and-question format, I guess it's OK for the writers.
Correct Qs: DD1 - What is KLM? DD2 - What is nightingale? DD3 - What is Medicine Hat? FJ - What is "and women"?
