Though he ended with -$200, it was a great achievement just to make it on the game show. There is a preliminary written test, which is quite difficult to pass. Mr. Venezia had been doing really well in the first round; he had the lead with $1900. He continued to do well through the second round, right up until the end, where he missed some big ones and then bet all his money on a Daily Double: "This verb's synonyms include vilify, abuse, berate & disparage." He said "bedevil," and the answer was "revile."
Too bad, Mr. V, but still a great job.
