05:25Louisiana, a novelist and an associate professor.
05:28Now, you are here on Jeopardy for one reason alone, right?
05:31Who do you want to thank?
05:31I am here because of my grandma, Cilla.
05:34She was the one who taught me to watch Jeopardy when I was a kid, back in the mustache era.
05:40And actually, she was the whole reason I took the test.
05:42It was Thanksgiving, year before last.
05:44And she was like, oh, Andy, the test is any time now.
05:46You got to take it.
05:47By the way, guys.
05:48You got to take it.
05:50And I took it.
05:51And here we are.
05:52And now she's right there in the audience.
05:53Look at that.
05:54She must be so impressed.
05:55Hi, Grandma.
05:56You did it.
05:57Well done.
05:57That was good advice.
05:59Caleb Bruin is originally from Thousand Oaks, California.
06:02A law and policy student and a bit of a tennis player, right?
06:05Yes.
06:06I played tennis in high school.
06:07And last summer, I was in London, so I got the chance to finally go to Wimbledon.
06:10Fun.
06:11But what I didn't realize is that queuing is a national pastime for the Brits.
06:14OK.
06:14So we had to wait about eight hours just to get into the stadium.
06:17Then once we were in the stadium, we got concessions and we got food.
06:20We had to wait to get into matches.
06:21I had to leave a little early.
06:22So by the time I had to leave, I saw about 20 minutes of tennis total.
06:25Eight hours in the queue to see 20 minutes of Wimbledon.
06:28But the experience is still worth it, I think.
06:29It was worth it.
06:30There we go.
06:31I'm glad to hear it, Caleb.
06:32Our champion is Richard Nguyen from Placentia, California.
06:34A research attorney who likes to travel, I understand.
06:37Tell me about your trip last summer.
06:39We went to Italy.
06:40We stopped in Lake Como.
06:41So the train took us at the lake level.
06:44My friend booked the Airbnb.
06:45We had to climb up the hill to get to the Airbnb.
06:48But my friend forgot to read the instructions carefully.
06:50We were already halfway up the mountain.
06:52And he read the instructions.
06:53And the key was at the bottom of the mountain in a locker.
06:57So I left him with all the luggage.
06:59I went down and I came back up.
07:01And this is August, so it was really hot and humid.
07:02You got an Airbnb and a side quest.
07:04Yes.
07:05That's very exciting.
07:06You also have control of the board right now, Richard.
07:08Take a look at the board.
07:09Make a selection.
07:11Titanic, 1,000.

08:53I'm not kidding.
08:54Caleb.
08:54I'd like to see that.
08:56Titanic, 400.
08:57In grammar speak, this type of word, like booklet or duckling,
09:01denotes a lesser version of the word from which it derives.

17:24From a closet far, far away.

17:30Andy.
17:31Who is Princess Leia?
17:31That's it.
17:32And one more time.
17:33Give me some skin, you three.
17:35At Woodstock, Filipini's Pond was where concertgoers shed clothes and inhibitions in this past
17:40time.
17:41Caleb.
17:42That's where they were skinny dipping.
17:43Yes.
17:44You finished with an impressive 23,800.
17:46But Richard and Andy, not out of this yet.
17:48Three great scores in today's game.
17:50Three strong players.
17:50Let's see what happens in Final Jeopardy.
17:52The category will help determine the wagers.
17:54Here it is.
17:55Northern Europe.
17:57We will come back with a clue as soon as the wagers are in.
17:59So don't go anywhere.
18:03Well, you look at those scores.
18:05We don't often see all three players above $12,000 heading into Final Jeopardy.
18:09But today has been a shootout on the Alex Trebek stage.
18:11It's going to come down to one clue and we know we're headed to Northern Europe.
18:15Here is that Final Jeopardy clue.
18:18This country is said to have more islands than any other in the world.
18:22There are 30,000 just in the archipelago named for its capital.
18:25Thirty seconds, players.
18:27Good luck.
18:27Number Five
18:58Andy Braseno, on the end, had $12,200 coming into Final
19:01Jeopardy, and his response was Copenhagen, which is incorrect. What did you bet, Andy?
19:09You'll lose $5,001, leaving you with $7,199. Let's see how this shakes out. The champion,
19:15Richard Nguyen, was in second with $17,200. His response? His response was a country,
19:21which is correct. We needed the country, but he put Norway, and I'm afraid it is not Norway.
19:26What did you wager? $7,201 knocks you down to $9,999. So it all comes down to Caleb Gruen
19:34in
19:34the lead with $23,800, a big gutsy daily double wager put in there. Will he add to it? Was
19:40he
19:40correct? He has Denmark. I'm afraid it is not Denmark. We're talking about the famous Stockholm
19:47archipelago, beautiful part of the country. What is Sweden? Sweden was the right country. So it's
19:54major enough to risk the lead. $10,601 knocks you down to $13,199. And it makes you our new
20:02Jeopardy! champion. Caleb, congratulations. We'll be back on the Alex Direct stage one more
20:09time this week. See you tomorrow.
20:24Bye.
