We’ve reached the middle of our three-semifinal slate. Will finalist number two hail from the first or second decade?
Second > first + first.
Brad Rutter: 32,800
Tom Cubbage: 6,600
Leszek Pawlowicz: 5,200
The Final Jeopardy! category: MONARCHS
Brad demonstrated why grabbing the Daily Doubles is so pivotal. He would have had things locked up even had he missed either of the two he answered correctly, but even more important is he kept either Tom or Leszek from mounting a charge.
We’ll see him in the Finals against Ken and tomorrow’s winner. Will it be Roger, Pam, or Colby? I can’t wait to find out!
