Johnny Gilbert: And now, here is the host of 'JEOPARDY!'....ALEX TREBEK!
Alex Trebek: Thank you, Johnny Gilbert. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Last time out, in Match 1, we saw Amanda Lopez edge Kim Possible by 400 points to win that match and take an early lead in this tournament. Kim, in Game 1 of that match, we saw you take control early, but in Game 2, we saw you hesitate a bit, you misspoke a couple times, was the pressure getting to you late in that match?
Kim: It's a long game, Alex. Playing Jeopardy! for a full hour is something we're not accustomed to. We're all used to the daily, half-hour version of Jeopardy!, not 2 games, back to back in a full hour!
Alex Trebek: Okay, Kim. Amanda has the early lead in this tournament, but it will be Melissa that will make the first selection in Game 1 of Match 2. So let's take a look at the categories for the Jeopardy! round...

Alex Trebek: Before we start the Double Jeopardy! round of game 2 of this 2nd match, we'd like to take some time to profile one of our champions. Last night, we profiled Amanda Lopez. Tonight, we'll head to Colorado to profile Ms. Kim Possible.
Profile - Kim Possible:
Kim (voiceover): My name is Kimberly Ann Possible and you may know me as the globetrotting teen hero who saved the world from a robot takeover and an alien invasion. After saving the world many times over with my now-fiance, Ron Stoppable, I bit the bullet and took the Jeopardy! test. I got the call in January 2008 - didn't think I'd win all that much. I won my first 5 games, won over $100,000 in that time. Then I started racking up the wins and the dollars. 10, 20, 30, 50 wins...I had reached over $2.5 million in 74 games before I was finally toppled on the season 26 premiere. I won the Tournament of Champions - another $100,000; $500,000 from the Ultimate Tournament of Champions; another $500,000 from the battle against Watson; another $500,000 from the Battle of the Decades and another $500,000 from the All-Star Games. I've won nearly $5 million on Jeopardy! Another million here would allow me to finally overtake Amanda for the title of most all-time winnings on Jeopardy! It's time I prove that I really can do anything.
Alex Trebek: Tomorrow night, we'll profile Melissa Chase. Let's get to work in Double Jeopardy! Amanda will go first this round with 2 Daily Doubles to help you in these 6 categories...
