Duane’s Log: Teen Tournament Day 1
Wow. All I can say is wow. I have seen all the greats – Ali/Frazier, Magic/Bird, Tyson/Holyfield – but nothing could have prepared me for what I witnessed last night. There was buzzing and answering and more buzzing and more answering and…well, more buzzing. i was so amped up, it took three horse tranquilizers and a half bottle of Nightrain to get me to sleep last night.
I will be back later today with some expert analysis and celebrity interviews, but for those of you who missed last night, here are the standings after round one. As expected, Rachel Horn has jumped out to an early lead, but the surprise of the night was the late surge by Zia to almost pull even with Rachel Cooke (AKA “Steve). I have to give him credit. While the girls played it safe, Zia risked everything in Final Jeopardy. The boys got cajones…
– Rachel – $26,800
– “Steve” – $18,400
– Zia – $18,000
