I’m getting pretty excited about my Sports Jeopardy! audition next weekend. Since my audition is in Chicago, I’ll get a chance to see Colby Burnett. Here we are at the party of the Battle of the Decades finals.
I’m still considering all kinds of ways to study, but don’t worry – I’m keeping it in mind that when I studied for the regular show, I think I worried more about acquiring books and games than using them. I also should’ve spent less time wondering how to study, and more time doing it. I have determined that I can’t play the Sports Jeopardy app on my Chromebook, which is a major bummer. Another thing I wanted to do was watch a football game with someone who understands it. It’ll be a must-do if I pass the test. Another thought: I think question-and-answer books or cards might help me remember more than reading anything else. But game cards from the Sports Illustrated game I have are so hard, I don’t think I’ll remember anything from that either. Multiple choice to start with, maybe? I am reading this right now:
I think it’s helpful but you really have to concentrate. Anyone have any input or suggestions about any of this? Apps, games, books, magazines, websites/blogs, TV, video games, radio…anything. You could also tweet me or leave a comment on the blog’s Facebook page. I get the feeling though, that people who have the most sports knowledge would tell me it’s just because they love it.
My Coryat for this weekend’s rerun, which originally aired 4-24-13, was 30400. I had one 400 neg. The first time I played, my Coryat was 27400 (29000 without negs).
I tried to get you names of this week’s contestants, but when I clicked the link from Jeopardy!‘s site, I got a message saying the YouTube video was private. I went right to the show’s YouTube channel (in fact I did that first), and the video isn’t there. Sorry. Hopefully tomorrow. I get the feeling a Teen Tournament is coming up, though. There are a lot of new videos about that. Today’s contestants are Justin Nigro, Robyn Stone and Kay Thanaporn.
I got this triple-stumper in Who Knows “C-P-R”?: “We use this word, Spanish for ‘godfather,’ for a close friend or associate.” Robyn found the Daily Double of the round in this category. (I’m glad I don’t have to type it again.)
Kay 200 (One right)
Robyn 1000 (2 right)
Justin 2600 (4 right)
I’d wish I could wager more than 1000! That’s what she did, and this was her clue: “It’s the study of secret writing, including codes & ciphers.” She appeared to come up with it after time had run out. This one, I got right.
Robyn said “kreplach” in response to this one in Tater Tots: “Tiny tubers want to grow up, join the deli & become this Jewish foodstuff, a mashed potato dumpling covered with a dough shell.” Justin negged after that. It was the only one I didn’t know in the category, and it was the last clue before the first break. It was at this point I noticed Trebek looked like he was in a good mood! We all benefit from that. I hope it lasts all week. When we came back for contestant interviews, Trebek was standing at Robyn’s lectern, in the center. He started with her only because he wanted to credit her with a correct response on “kreplach”! When he did move to Justin, he erased his neg. So this is as of the first break:
Kay 200
Robyn 2800 (4 right)
Justin 2800 (One right)
I was amazed that this was a triple-stumper, in Whatchu Talkin’ ’bout, Wallace?: “This 3-named author penned a 1989 collection of short stories titled ‘Girl with Curious Hair.'”
At the end of the round:
Kay 5400 (9 right)
Robyn 2800
Justin 4800 (4 right)
I got 24/24 in the 200-800 rows! I was 2/6 in the 1000 row, with one neg. I ran Something’s Wrong with this Guy and Name the Automaker.
Robyn found the first Daily Double of Double Jeopardy in The Author Writes.
Kay 7000 (3 right)
Robyn 8800 (5 right)
Justin 9600 (5 right)
One of the advantages of tracking my Coryat on paper rather than on my app, is that I can see after I’ve played an episode exactly what I did. For example, I know I was 2/4 in this category when Robyn found the Daily Double. She wagered 2000 on this no-brainer: “‘Stephen Dedalus is my name, Ireland is my nation. Clongowes is my dwellingplace and Heaven my expectation.'” Robyn gave the book’s title instead of the author! But Trebek was so fast to rule against her. He should’ve paused and given her a chance.
Justin found the next Daily Double in the 800 spot of Chinese History.
Kay 7000 (One right and one wrong)
Robyn 11200 (3 right)
Justin 12400 (3 right)
There were 3 clues on the board after this, all in Chinese History. Justin wagered 400 on this clue: “A folk tale tells of Meng Jiangnu, who searches for her husband along this public works project.” He got it right. This was like a Teen Jeopardy clue!
At the end of the round:
Kay 10600 (2 right)
Robyn 11200
Justin 14000 (One right)
The Final Jeopardy category was Government. This was the clue: “‘Features’ at the website of this agency include ‘Protection,’ ‘Investigations’ & ‘Know Your Money.'” I was walking around and didn’t even see the clue, let alone try. It was a triple-stumper! Kay lost 10000. Robyn lost 7300. Justin? He lost 8401, which leaves him with enough for the win.
I was only 16/30 in Double Jeopardy, and I negged twice. My Coryat was 23400 (27200 without negs).
