00:31And now, here is the host of Jeopardy!, Alex Trevath.
00:36Thank you, Johnny. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Hi, folks.
00:39Welcome to the start of another exciting week here on Jeopardy!,
00:42an exciting week particularly for this gentleman, our champion, Rich.
00:45$40,000-plus after four appearances.
00:49Today, he tries to win his fifth game.
00:51And if he succeeds in doing that, he will only be the fifth player this season
00:55to have achieved that feat.
00:57And that means he will qualify automatically for our Tournament of Champions next year,
01:01in which, as you know, the payoff is $100,000.
01:03So it's up to Susan and Robert to put an end to his winning ways.
01:08Good luck to all three of you. Let's go to work.
01:10We'll put the board in motion.
01:11I'll remind you about the one daily double you're going to find in one of these categories.
01:14Let's take a look at them.
01:16We have three-letter words.
01:18People, Perfume, New Testament, Facts and Figures, and finally, Stephen Foster lyrics.
01:27And it's your choice, Rich.

02:15How much do you want to risk?
02:16$300,000.

02:29Take a look.
02:30What is the amount of money printed by the United States?
02:37Oh, no, sorry.
02:38Those figures going by were the national debt.
02:42And it is increasing very quickly, as you can see.
02:45It's changing constantly.
02:47$4 trillion.
02:49All right.
02:50Let's go to work.

03:42Right again.
03:43Stephen Foster lyrics for $100,000.

04:03That is right, and that puts you on the scoreboard with $200.
04:06You're in second place, and it's still very early.
04:08Rich, just $400 with the lead right now.
04:11We can all relax for a few moments.
04:12We'll take a break for some important commercial messages, and then we'll come back to chat and get more answers and questions right after this.
04:18The player who gave us the last correct response was the player we introduced first on our program today, Susan Stowe from Plymouth, Minnesota.
04:37Travel agent, and I take it you've done a great deal of traveling.
04:40Yes, I've so far been to 43 countries in five continents.
04:44Have you found a favorite spot in the world?
04:46Well, I fell in love with Kathmandu.
04:47I was there last spring, and I'll go back any time.
04:50Were you there before the earthquake?
04:52Because I was there about two years ago, and it was beautiful, but then I saw the newsreel footage to come out of that city after the earthquake.
04:59You were there before.
05:00Before.
05:01It has changed a little.
05:02Did you get a chance to trek and see some of the big peaks in the Himalayas?
05:07I saw the big peaks only from the window of the 737, so.
05:10I see.
05:11Well, they're impressive even at 30,000 feet, believe me.
05:13Yeah.
05:14Nice having you here.
05:15Bob Windler from Beverly Hills, California, a writer slash teacher.
05:19Do you teach writing?
05:21Nonfiction writing at UCLA.
05:23Now, what is there especially about nonfiction writing that is important for us to know?
05:28Well, it's supposed to be true.
05:29Uh-huh.
05:30Well, okay.
05:31It's supposed to be based on facts.
05:33Point number one.
05:34Point number two, is there anything with regard to style that your students should remember?
05:37Yes, that it can be just as creative as fiction.
05:39You can use narrative and description and anecdotes in the same way that you would in fiction writing.
05:43Yeah, because a lot of people think of nonfiction as being very dry.
05:46Right, or dull.
05:47Yeah, dull.
05:48You don't want to read it.
05:49Right.
05:50But if you can throw in those anecdotes.
05:51That's not true.
05:52All right.
05:53Good.
05:54Nice having you with us.
05:55Richard Lerner from Silver Spring, Maryland, our four-time champion up until today.
05:58Who's here to cheer you on in the studio?
06:00Uh, today I have my mother-in-law and my aunt and uncle.
06:03I had my wife Melinda here last week, but she wasn't able to stay.
06:06I'm sure a lot of the people in the Washington area know that you've been very successful on the program to this point.
06:11Have any of them called you?
06:13Uh, I've had a lot of requests for lunch.
06:17I see.
06:18Yeah, and to talk about investment opportunities, perhaps.
06:21All right.
06:22Well, let's get back into the game.
06:23Susan, you get to select again since you gave me the last correct question.
06:26Off you go.
06:27I'll stick with Stephen Foster lyrics for 300.

06:42Richard Robert, you were close, Susan.
06:44It's, I froze to death.
06:46Oh.

09:30Oh, we won't get a chance.
09:31We left a lot of clues up there.

09:34We'll make up for that in the double jeopardy round.
09:36We'll speed that along when we return following these commercial messages.
09:41Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
09:42We'll get into this double jeopardy round in just a moment.
09:45But first, a change in score to announce.
09:46And it goes back to that first round in which, once again, we outsmarted ourselves.
09:51And it affected you, Robert, because we said one dot on a die and you said, or a dot, a dot, and you said one.
09:52That is an acceptable response.
09:53The way in which we outsmarted ourselves was that all of the responses ended in IP.
09:54We had a tip, a rip, a nip, a pip.
09:55And a sip.

10:27You didn't take them all in order.
10:28You abandoned it for a while, and when you got back to it,
10:30you couldn't remember the preceding responses.
10:33So we're going to credit you with a correct response to that.
10:35So you get $800 back, and guess what?

17:55I've been informed that our scores are correct.

18:27Here we go.
18:27Final Jeopardy answer is this.
18:29The two states whose names end with the letter Y.
18:34Good luck.
18:35Good luck.
19:04One of them is easy.
19:08We know that.
19:09The other one, obviously, was tough.
19:11Let's find out how tough.
19:12Rich, we'll begin with you.
19:13Four-day total of 40,790.
19:16Your reign might come to an end today.
19:18What did you put down as your response?
19:20What are New Jersey?
19:21You got the one we thought was tough, but you missed the other one.
19:26It's going to cost you.
19:26How much was your wager?
19:282,500.
19:28You'll drop down to 100 as we go down the line to Susan.
19:32What was her response?
19:34What are Kentucky?
19:35You got the other one, the one we thought was easy.
19:37Kentucky and New Jersey are the correct responses.
19:39How much will it cost you?
19:40Everything.
19:41And now we go to Robert, who was in the lead.
19:43What did he put down?
19:45What are Kentucky?
19:46And he didn't get New Jersey either.
19:48I was born in New Jersey.
19:49You were born in New Jersey?
19:50You'll have trouble living that one down,
19:52but you'll be the new champion unless you risk everything.

19:56$100.
