Hook Em Horns, Marshall! Congratulations on becoming a Semi-Finalist.
There’s a Daily Double rule:
In the Jeopardy! Round: You have to risk $1,000 if you have less money or the same amount
In the Double Jeopardy! Round: You have to risk $2,000 if you have less money or the same amount
That is not a rule, Richard. It’s an option
Sorry. What I meant to say was: Once a contestant finds a Daily Double in the Jeopardy! Round and has less than a $1,000 you should risk $1,000. In the Double Jeopardy! Round, if a contestant has less than $2,000 to wager, you should risk $2,000.
Well, that depends, doesn’t it? If I was below the maximum allowance and I got the Daily Double (no matter what round) and the category was Math or Science — no way, Jose
Congratulations to Marshall but this wasn’t a great start. I thought Emma could have secured herself a wildcard spot.
Semi-Final and Wild Card results as of 4/6/20:
Semi-Finalists:
Marshall Comeaux (University of Texas at Austin): $17,599
Wild Cards:
Emma Farrell (Carnegie Mellon University): $6,799
Sirad Hassan (Princeton University): $100
I don’t believe it. It’s been up and down. Emma took the game with the big lead, Marshall and Sirad couldn’t catch her in the first round. Now Sirad couldn’t get things going while Marshall worked hard to catch Emma. Now she lost most of her money in Final.
This is not a great start. Emma may be missing out on a wild-card spot. I’m surprised someone got this Final right.
If Marshall risked $2,000 on his first Daily Double he would’ve had $9,800.
Yes, I was surprised myself but mucho congrats to Marshall on that. I just didn’t think they would zero in on that particular bit of history in 30 seconds.
Why did he risk $1,000 instead of $2,000 on his first Daily Double?
idk, Richard. Maybe he always wanted to say “true Daily Double” if he got on the show
Hard to say, but possibly because he had $1000 and didn’t want to go into the red if incorrect.
Also, I’ve noticed over the years that the kids bet conservatively on DDs compared to the adults.
