CONTESTANT INTERVIEWS
Alex: Meeting famous people can often lead to embarrassing moments, as we try to impress these people. Colin Gleason, that happened to you, didn't it.
Colin: Yeah. I was in a flight from London to Chicago, and I was sitting next to a girl who was wearing Team Britain gear, and I asked her, uh, what she was participating in, and she said she was an equestrian. And trying to impress her, I rifled through my brain for pertinent facts, and I said, "Oh, like dressage [rhymes with message]?" not knowing it was pronounced--
Alex: Dressage [rhymes with massage].
Colin: Yeah. So she, uh, corrected me and didn't talk to me for the rest of the flight.
[laughter]
Alex: Aha. Oh. You lose it in that moment, it's gone for the rest of that 11-hour flight.
Alex: Irene Brockman, graduate student in chemical engineering. This seems to be the position for musicians. The lady who was standing here yesterday played the bells. You are musically inclined also. You play a lot of instruments, I hear!
Irene: Yeah, I can actually play seven different instruments. And one of the most unusual ones also involves the bells. It's called the carillon, and it's actually a bell tower, where you --up in the tower, you play the tower bells.
Alex: Uh-huh. You don't usually draw a big audience for that, do you, 'cause they're in the church down below.
Irene: Yeah, but everyone in the neighborhood can hear you.
[Laughter]
Alex: Oh, hello! Okay. So you do make an impression.
Alex: Kristin Sausville is our champion, and this young lady, although we keep introducing her as a stay-at-home mom, hosts a podcast, from your home--
Kristin: Yes.
Alex: And what is this podcast about?
Kristin: It's about the TV show Survivor. My co-host and I, uh, we discuss our picks for the legends of the people who were on the first eight seasons of Survivor. We have our choices; we have one episode where we talk about the winners, and then we get to delve into our choices for the challenge beasts, the strategists, the social players, the big characters, and then one last one for the forgotten people we wanted to talk about but didn't really fit into other categories easily.
Alex: Who's your all-time favorite?
Kristin: Sandra.
Alex: Yeah?
Kristin: She's won twice; can't beat that.
Alex: Oh, okay. You've won four times, can't beat that either!
[Laughter]
Let's get back into this. Colin has command of the board. He's going first.
JEOPARDY! ROUND DAILY DOUBLE
Colin found the Daily Double on the 20th clue. Kristin had $4,600, Irene had $600, and Colin was at $6,000. Colin made it a True Daily Double, wagering $6,000.
VENERABLE BRANDS $800: This company traces its history to the founding of the New York Gas Light Company in 1823, before Thomas was born
TRIPLE STUMPERS IN THE JEOPARDY! ROUND
COMPOUND WORDS $400: As a verb, it means to accost & detain a person in conversation; as a noun, it's a small slit in a garment
(Irene: What is a sideline?)
SCORES AT THE END OF THE JEOPARDY! ROUND
Colin: $14,400
Kristin: $7,200
Irene: $600
