All right, who will become a semi-finalist?
Let's take a look at the clue in Final Jeopardy!
Before Congress named it for a person,
its residents wanted to call it
the Territory of Columbia.
Thirty seconds, players. Good luck.

Melissa, we'll start with you.
You were in third place.
Which U.S. state did you select?
You came up with Georgia.
Well, that'll be popular here,
but unfortunately it is incorrect,
so it will cost you how much?
$2,300. You're going to wind up with $400.
As we go to Mike, he had $3,700.
Which U.S. state did he pick?
Washington. That is right.
Yes, think of the Columbia River up there.
And you will add $3,500,
taking you to $7,200,
and into the lead as we come to Jeremy Bate.
Did he get Washington?
No, he picked Washington, D.C.
How much did he risk?
$800 only.
All right, that'll take you down to $5,900,
but it makes Mike Blumenfeld a semi-finalist.
Remember, ladies and gentlemen,
we have four wild-card spots for the high scores,
but non-winners in these quarterfinal matches.
So we may yet see Jeremy back next week.
Until tomorrow, our second quarterfinal is coming up.
We'll see you then. Go on.
