05:11BMW makes the M5.
05:12That gets you a little closer to back in the black.
05:14We need to pause for a moment.
05:16But the Jeopardy invitational tournament will continue after this.
05:20Karen Farrell is from Chesapeake, Virginia.
05:22She won eight games and was a TOC semifinalist way back in season 36.
05:26What have you been up to since then, Karen?
05:28Quite a lot.
05:29I've changed city since my initial run, changed careers, adopted a new puppy, and I think my
05:35daughter is finally old enough to know what Jeopardy is.
05:37So that's been great.
05:38So she and the puppy might be watching now.
05:41Hopefully.
05:41I hope they are rooting for you at home.
05:43Drew Basile is back.
05:45Drew did so well on Survivor.
05:46But here as well, a seven day champion, a semifinalist in your tournament of champions.
05:50And we announced you as a writer.
05:52Is that new?
05:53That is new.
05:54First of all, it's great to see you too, Ken.
05:55But yeah, so I graduated from, you know, from school and I was like, I got to put pen
05:59to paper.
06:00I'm writing, but what do I know?
06:01I know trivia.
06:02And so I recently traveled to Italy to cover a competitive trivia tournament,
06:05competed a little bit.
06:06It was a great time and a lot of my Jeopardy knowledge came in handy.
06:09Well, you competed and you were a journalist.
06:11Well, you have to immerse yourself in this thing.
06:13I see.
06:13Matt Amodio is back with us.
06:15You've been in all three Jeopardy Masters tournaments.
06:18You're our defending JIT champion.
06:20How have you been preparing for this year?
06:22Yeah, so my flash carding days are kind of starting to wane, but not to worry because
06:27I have a crack staff of researchers on it.
06:30My five and two year old nephews, Elvis and Anton, are keeping me up on all the newest
06:34slang.
06:35Gen Alpha's over already.
06:36So I'm getting the real cutting edge stuff.
06:38You're getting toddler slang.
06:39Yeah.
06:39And then my mom has a specialty of recently deceased celebrities.
06:44So as soon as it happens, like even before the doctor knows, she feels it in the ether
06:49and I'm immediately on the phone getting this.
06:52Your mom's just hitting refresh on TMZ.
06:54Exactly.
06:54So I'm ready.
06:55You are hooked up, Matt.
06:57But right now, Karen's in command of the board.
06:59Make a selection.
06:59Super Bowl for six.
07:01In 1987, this inundation became a Super Bowl tradition after the Giants prevailed and
07:06did it to head coach Bill Parcells.
07:09Karen.
07:09What is pouring Gatorade on the coach?
07:11That's right.
07:12A Super Bowl for four.
07:14Wide right was the verdict for kicker Scott Norwood in Super Bowl 25 as this team fell
07:19short.
07:20Karen.
07:21For the Patriots?
