01:09and the last spot in the Tournament of Champions.
01:13In yesterday's Game 1, Cameron, Jonathan, and Stella earned the scores you see in front of them now.
01:18And, as this is a two-game total point final, these scores will be added to whatever they earned today to determine our winner.

18:03We'll start with Stella Trout with $6,400.
18:06She wrote down...
18:08Who is Walker, as in Alice, I assume?
18:10It is not Alice Walker, I'm afraid.
18:13Stella wagered $6,300 today, leaving her with $100.
18:16But we add back her $12,800 from yesterday.
18:20She will finish with $12,900.
18:23Cameron Berry was in second place with $10,000 today.
18:26What novelist did you think of, Cameron?
18:27Stein, as in Gertrude, also not Gertrude Stein.
18:32What did you wager, Cameron?
18:33You lose $5,601, leaving you with $4,399 today.
18:37But you earned $10,000 yesterday.
18:39$14,399, your two-game total.
18:43It's up to Jonathan Huggendubler here in the lead with $12,000.
18:47What author does he have?
18:49Who is Fitzgerald, and it's also not Fitzgerald.
18:53William Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury has many narrators.
18:57And it finally got published, as he wished, in colored ink.
19:00Who is Faulkner?
19:01What did you wager, Jonathan?
19:03He went big.
19:04That knocks him down to zero.
19:05We add back his $1,200 from yesterday, and he will finish in third place.
19:09Cameron Berry survives Champions Wild Card and is going on to the Tournament of Champions.
19:13Congratulations!
19:14Congratulations!
19:15Congratulations!
19:22That was all exciting enough, but this Jeopardy! postseason is far from over.
19:26The Tournament of Champions begins on Monday.
19:28You don't want to miss it.
19:29We'll be right back here on the Alex Trebek stage.
19:31Have a great weekend.
19:32And next week, there are two winners.
19:40Well, I'll throw you on my hands.
19:42Hang on!
19:43Come on!
19:44Here we go!
