00:01From the Alex Rebeck stage at Sony Pictures Studios, this is Jeopardy!
00:12Let's meet today's contestants.
00:16An economist from Dana Point, California, J.R. Scott.
00:20An instructional technologist from Wilmington, Delaware, Rachel Hoke.
00:25And our returning champion, a content manager from Washington, D.C., Chris D'Angelo, whose five-day cash winnings total
00:35$97,000.
00:38And now, here is the host of Jeopardy, Ken Jennings.
00:45Thank you so much, Johnny. Welcome to Jeopardy, everyone.
00:49In yesterday's game, our champion, Chris D'Angelo, hit that all-important target, win number five, which guarantees him a
00:55spot in our next tournament of champions.
00:57Something that Chris said had been his ultimate goal the whole time, but one he didn't even want to put
01:00in his mind until it became a reality.
01:03When I asked Chris if he'd been scouting out his TOC competition, he admitted he hasn't been watching a lot
01:07of Jeopardy! lately because he's been rehearsing community theater on weeknights.
01:11But I bet Rachel and J.R. have been sussing out their Jeopardy! competition in Chris to see how he
01:15does.
01:16Let's find out what happens in today's game. Good luck to all three of you.
01:18The categories in the Jeopardy! round will be a big country up first, then it's TV shows by characters, some
01:27Canadian terminology, followed by the planet with, brands by letter, and here in the sixth spot...
01:36I'm Bert.
01:37And I'm Ernie.
01:38Sometimes they're just kind of thrown together.
01:40Other times they're best buddies.
01:42We'll have clues about roommates.
01:44Chris, where to?
01:46Big country, 600.
01:48Argentina spans more than 2,000 miles from Juhui province in the north to this island province down south.
01:55J.R.?
01:55What is TR Del Fuego?
01:56You got it.
01:57Big country, 800.
01:58It's the apt name of the nearly one million square mile area seen here.
02:03Chris?
02:04What is Western Australia?
02:05It is.
02:06Big country, 1,000.
02:07Oh, I hope you know Russia has 46 of these provinces, from an old Slavonic word meaning empire.
02:14Chris?
02:15What are Oblasts?
02:16Oblasts is correct.
02:18TV shows by characters, 600.

02:43The planet with a 10,000 mile wide storm system, recorded in an 1831 drawing by an amateur astronomer.
02:50Chris?
02:51What is Jupiter?
02:51The Great Red Spot, right.
02:53Planet with 800.
02:54A year that lasts about 88 of our days.
02:57That's four times as many New Year's resolutions.
03:00J.R.?
03:01What is Mercury?
03:02Yes.
03:03Planet, 1,000.
03:03But one visit from a spacecraft, Voyager 2 in 1986, which pinned down a 17.24 hour rotation
03:11time for its interior.
03:13Rachel?
03:14What is Venus?
03:15No.
03:16J.R.?
03:16What is Neptune?
03:17Also incorrect.
03:19Chris, care to try it?
03:20What is Uranus?
03:21Back to J.R.?
03:23Brands by letter for 600.
03:25D.D.
03:26In 1984, its new hand vac really sucked.
03:29Chris?

03:34Dirt Devil, that's the vacuum.
03:35Brands by letter for four.
03:38S. Wrapped is its year in review feature.
03:40Rachel?

03:42Right again.
03:43Brands for 200.

03:48Chris?
03:48What is Dawn?
03:49Correct.
03:50Brands, 800.
03:51B. Speakers, with headquarters in Framingham, Massachusetts.
03:55J.R.?
03:56What is Bose?
03:57That's right.
03:57Canadian terminology, 800.
03:59This type of store, named for the ease of shopping there, becomes a dépanneur in Quebec,
04:04like the Couche Tard, operated by Circle K.
04:07J.R.?
04:08What is a convenience store?
04:09Yes.
04:10Canadian terminology, 1,000.
04:12Answer.
04:12Daily Double for you, J.R.
04:15How confident are you in the ways of our neighbors to the north?
04:19I'll do 1,000.
04:21All right.
04:21With $1,000 at stake, here's your clue in Canadian terminology.
04:25When the Globe and Mail uses GTA, it likely doesn't mean Grand Theft Auto, but this region,
04:31home to 7 million Canadians.
04:36Uh, what is Alberta?
04:38No.
04:39There are 7 million Canadians in the GTA, Greater Toronto Area.
04:43So that drops you down 1,000, but you're still in second place, and we need to pause for a
04:47moment,
04:47halfway through the round.
04:48Back with more Jeopardy after this.
04:51J.R. Scott comes to us from Vanden Point, California.
04:54He's an economist, and J.R., even though no one at home will recognize you,
04:58this is not your first time on the Alex Trebek stage, right?
05:00Tell us why.
05:01That's right, Ken.
05:02So I was actually an alternate on the 2012 Teen Tournament.
05:05A Teen Tournament, back in the day.
05:07Yeah, I had a lot less facial hair back then.
05:09Most teens do.
05:10Yes, like most teens.
05:11And I think the highlight was just having the chance to meet one of my childhood heroes,
05:15Alex Trebek, and he was so gracious with all of the contestants, let alone me, as an alternate.
05:20Took a photo, and I had it hanging in my room for many years.
05:22I have to ask, why the 14-year gap?
05:24You're finally back.
05:25You know, life gets in the way, I would say.
05:27Well, thank you for making time for us.
05:28Rachel Hogue from Wilmington, Delaware, is an instructional technologist, but in your spare time, something even more glamorous, if that's
05:35possible.
05:35An aerial circus performer and coach?
05:38No.
05:38I am.
05:39Wow.
05:39In my spare time, I can usually be found on a trapeze performing or coaching at a studio in Wilmington.
05:46That's amazing.
05:47You also do something called fire hooping, right?
05:49What is that?
05:50I got to try fire hooping thanks to a workshop run by one of my friends, and I learned very
05:55quickly that it's a hula hoop that's on fire, and if you hold it too still, it will burn off
06:00all of your hair.
06:01Oh, and you learned that firsthand.
06:03I sure did.
06:03Fire hooping is a hula hoop that's on fire.
06:05Yes.
06:05I guess you can see where it got its name.
06:07Our returning champion is Christiangelo, a content manager from Washington, D.C., and a victim of threats from what?
06:14From hippos.
06:15Two different hippos within the space of a few days.
06:17What are you doing to the hippos, Chris?
06:18So the first one had a legitimate gripe, I think.
06:20We were in Botswana, and at one safari camp, we were on a river cruise, and suddenly we heard a
06:26thunk, and then the engine gun, and we looked back, and there was a hippo coming up.
06:30We'd apparently hit, but we got away quickly, and a few days later, we were at a different safari camp,
06:36and we had stopped to have a tea break, and so then the guides came up very urgently, very quietly,
06:42saying, please get back in the jeep, please get back in the jeep.
06:44So we did, and a hippo came up out of a sort of a dry stream bed that we hadn't
06:48seen, wandering over.
06:50He clearly lost a fight and wanted to take it out on us.
06:52Maybe he talked to the first guy, Chris.
06:54Maybe.
06:54Maybe your reputation preceded you.
06:56JR, it's your board.
06:57Where to?
06:58Roommates 1,000.
06:58Here's Ernie and Bert.
07:00People often say that me and Bert are an odd couple.
07:03Well, one of us is odd at any rate.
07:06Hmm?
07:07This playwright got the idea for the odd couple from his divorced brother Danny, who was once also his writing
07:13partner.
07:14Chris.
07:15Who's Neil Simon?
07:16Good for 1,000.
07:17Brand's 1,000.
07:19B-G-E.
07:20Verdant barbecue cookers.
07:22Rachel.
07:23What is the big green egg?
07:25That's correct.
07:26Canadian terminology for six?
07:28The garburator is a device found in this, in the kitchen.
07:32Rachel.
07:33What is a garbage disposal?
07:35Or in the kitchen sink?
07:36Yeah, that's right.
07:37It is a garbage disposal found in the sink.
07:39Canadian terminology for four?
07:41The diagram shows why shooting the puck between the goalie's legs is known as putting it here.
07:47Chris.
07:47What is in the five hole?
07:48That's it.
07:49Roommates, 800?
07:50Back to Bert and Ernie.
07:51Henry David Thoreau spent about three years living at the home of this good friend and fellow transcendentalist.
07:59And Thoreau began the book Walden while living on this friend's land.
08:03I hear Walden has terrific pigeons.
08:05Chris.
08:06Who's Whitman?
08:07No.
08:08J.R.
08:09Who's Emerson?
08:09Emerson's right.
08:10Roommate 600?
08:12This company started in 2007 with two San Francisco roommates renting out air mattresses on their floor.
08:19Air mattresses?
08:20How uncomfortable.
08:21Bet that didn't last long.
08:23Well, actually, Bert, today it's worth tens of billions of dollars.
08:27What?
08:29Chris.
08:29What is Airbnb?
08:30Fun to watch Bert learn about Airbnb, yes.
08:33Big Country 400?
08:33Though it lost about 350,000 square miles of territory in 1947, it was still the world's seventh largest country.
08:45What is India?
08:46That's the date of the Pakistan partition.
08:48Back to you, Chris.
08:48TV shows, 400.
08:50Uncle Junior, Johnny Sack, and Richie April.
08:56On The Sopranos.
08:57Chris.
08:58The planet with four.
09:00With man-made objects at about 20 degrees north latitude.
09:03Where temps range from around negative 120 to a relatively balmy negative 30, give or take.
09:09J.R.
09:10What is Mars?
09:11Probes on Mars, yeah.
09:12Roommates 400?
09:13Back to Bert and Ernie.
09:14Everyone needs their alone time.
09:17And a quiet place to count their battle caps.
09:19And that's why roommates may want to avoid this type of apartment where one room opens right into the next
09:25one like the cars on a train.
09:28Rachel.
09:29What is a studio?
09:30No.
09:31Chris or J.R.?
09:33It's called a railroad apartment.
09:35Back to you, J.R.
09:37Roommates 200.
09:38One more time.
09:39Ernie and Bert.
09:40The great detective Sherlock Holmes had some odd habits.
09:43He played music late at night.
09:45He was messy.
09:46Sounds familiar.
09:47But just like me and my old buddy Bert here, Holmes enjoyed many happy years living as roommates in London
09:54with this good pal and roommate.
09:57Rachel.
09:58Who is Watson?
09:59Yes.
10:00Canadian for 200?
10:01It's not a loony, a $1 coin.
10:03It's this slang word for a coin worth twice as much.
10:07Chris.
10:07What is a toonie?
10:08That is the toonie.
10:09Big country 200.
10:10Though it has only one official one, China spans five of these east to west.
10:16Rachel.
10:16What are time zones?
10:18Right.
10:18The planet 200?
10:20With the symbol seen here, not to be used in your next paper in monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical
10:26Society.
10:27JR.
10:27What is Venus?
10:28That is Venus.
10:29Final clue, TV shows by characters, Dr. Miranda Bailey, Dr. Joe Wilson, and Dr. Amelia Shepard.
10:35Rachel.
10:36What is Grey's Anatomy?
10:37That is the show, yes.
10:38You're narrowly in third with 1800.
10:40Chris has the lead, and Double Jeopardy is on deck.
10:42Stay with us.
10:45Rachel's up first in Double Jeopardy.

11:05Rachel, where to?
11:07Heated rivalries for 400.
