Just for the record, Mark finished second, with $16,799. Seeing as
only one other non-winner has any winnings so far, so long as at
least one contestant tomorrow or Friday finishes with less than that,
he will get a wild card for the semifinals.
BTW--if you look at J!'s site, you might have noticed that Vinita
from Stanford, who won the 2002 College Tournament (i.e., the one
before the most recent one), is not listed as one of the contestants;
according to "behind the scenes" e-mails sent out earlier this week,
she had a personal conflict with the taping dates, but should appear
in next year's ToC.
