Yeah, I know Jeopardy is a game show, not a reality show, but it does have real people in it and, besides, I'm running out of reality shows to draw from.

Here's how this one will work. I will be posting 15 questions over the next day or two for the five remaining players to answer. The 15 questions will be divided into 5 different categories of 3 questions each. The value of each question will be as follows:

$100 - challenging, but not ridiculously difficult
$200 - tougher, but you might be able to answer it without googling
$300 - unless you get lucky, you will need to search for the answer

Each player starts with $0, but cannot fall below this amount. I will randomly post a question from one of the five categories. The first player to answer it correctly gets the dollar value for that question. If you answer incorrectly, you lose the dollar value for that question (unless you have no money). If you post your answer after the correct answer has already been posted, you neither lose the money if you are wrong, or win it if you are right.
I may post a question and then another one 10 minutes later or I may let hours go by before posting another question. You will have to check in regularly to have a shot at answering as many questions as possible. This challenge tends to favor players close to my time zone and those who have regular access to a computer during the day. I will try to accomodate this by posting most questions during the evening.

Once all 15 questions have been posted and answered, there will be a "final jeopardy" question where the players get a chance to bet all or part of what they have won on that question. Once all bets are in, I will announce a time the final question will be posted that is agreed to by all players. The first person to answer the question correctly gets the amount they bet added to their money total. Everyone else loses the amount they bet.
The player with the most money after this process gets immunity. Again, two players will be evicted this round, bringing the number of players down to the Terrible Three..

The 5 categories are:

1. Movies
2. Cartoon Characters
3. Starts with "K"
4. Kings and Queens
5. Snakes

This challenge is a bit more complicated than a lot of the others, so I will wait before posting the first question in order to allow players to ask questions and get clarification.

Players, sharpen your pencils and put on your thinking cap!

You don't like me do you?

ZM! How could you think that of me? You'll be happy to know that if you survive this one, the final one gives a definite edge to anyone on the West Coast. Yeah, I know, that doesn't do you much good if you get evicted, but it's the thought that counts.

I'll try to post most questions in the evening, Twig (late in my area, early out West) after the work day is done for most. I reserve the right to be unpredictable, though.

Ouestion #1: Movies - $100
In what movie did Robert DiNero use his famous, "You talkin' to me?" line, while posing in the mirror.

Like that, for instance.

I just thought I'd give it a try =) Hope I'm on when questions are posed and thanks for thinking of us Adven.

Good job Twig! I hope there's a final time at night when we know it's ok to go to sleep, because I'll be cranky if I stay up all night.

I don't want you to be cranky, Mak, so here's another one:

Question #2: Cartoon Characters for $100

In the cartoon series "The Simpsons" who does the voice of Homer?
