GRAND SLAM POST-GAME       Aug. 4, 2007 Week 3 Results Week 2 Results Week 2 Predictions Week 1 Results Meet in Final Four KITT HOLDS OFF CHARGING CARPENTER; JENNINGS COASTS OVER PHYLLIS    Michelle Kitt is becoming the George Mason (surprise 2006 Final Four entry in the NCAA basketball tournament) of GSN's Grand Slam.    The former science teacher took three straight falls Saturday night and rolled up a 50-second lead over Who Wants to Be a Millionaire's original $1 million winner John Carpenter. Kitt, the tournament's number 14 seed, barely survived a furious rally by Carpenter before prevailing by nine seconds to advance to next week's Final Four.    Jeopardy! tri-millionaire Ken Jennings was hardly winded when he swept all four falls over a rattled Phyllis Harris in the evening's opening match. Kitt vs. Carpenter: Kitt, largely forgotten in game show circles after finishing as the biggest winner on NBC's Weakest Link, was not spectacular but Carpenter made poor use of switches and took far too much time in the first two rounds before crucial passes or misses. Carpenter and Kitt were both 4-for-7 in the opening general knowledge round but Kitt only passed once to Carpenter's twice. The 1999 Millionaire winner took an exorbitant amount of time on questions about the discoverer of penicillin (Alexander Fleming) and an Oscar-winning film by Martin Scorcese. Kitt won the first showdown by 15.3 seconds. In the math round, Carpenter was only 2-for-7 in questions attempted, eating up 31 seconds before he connected with a correct answer. Despite passing three times, Kitt was quicker than Carpenter in doing so and was 3-of-4 in questions attempted. She had a 30-second overall advantage going into the word round. The edge increased to 50.4 seconds when Kitt made two crucial uses of switches that forced Carpenter to eat up valuable time. The finale saw Kitt nearly fritter away the game. Carpenter closed to within 28 seconds by nailing six of his first seven while Kitt had a mid-round string of six questions with only one correct answer. Late in the round, Carpenter sliced the edge to eight seconds before Kitt finished with two straight correct to win by 9.18 seconds. In pulling off two upsets of Millionaire seven-figure winners, Kitt is the lowest-seeded player surviving despite 10 passes against Carpenter. Jennings vs. Harris: Unlike his first match when the Jeopardy! legend lost two of the first three falls to 15th-seeded Victor Lee, Jennings hardly worked up a sweat against the energetic Harris. In the opening round, Harris only managed one correct answer while passing four times and switching once. She used up 48 seconds before scoring with an answer. Jennings rolled up a 35.49-second advantage with a 4-for-6 round. Jennings was 4-for-5 with one well-timed switch while Harris was 4-for-7 with a pass and switch in the math. The 32.36 second edge sent Jennings' edge to an overwhelming 1:06.85. The word round, a strength for Harris in her win over Twenty One's Rahim Oberholzer, was anything but against Jennings. Harris was only 2-for-6, dropping her to 7-for-17 in the game, with three more passes. Jennings only had to answer three and nailed them all to expand his advantage to an insurmountable 1:55.73. The finale produced another 4-for-5 for Jennings (with two switches) while Harris could only manage 6-for-9 with three more passes, two of which ate up significant clock. Jennings, now living in Seattle, finished the evening 15-for-19 (three switches, no passes) while Harris ended 13-for-26 with a series-high 11 passes.    Next week, Jennings and Kitt square off in one semifinal while Twenty One king David Legler faces Millionaire's Ogi Ogas.    POST-GAME NOTES: We received word Sunday afternoon that Michelle Kitt earned her Master's degree from George Mason University, so she has reason to be the literal George Mason of this tournament....Our Cover Story with Pat Kiernan, The Questioner, for Grand Slam, will be online Monday.....TVgameshows.net is 7-5 in its predictions for the first 12 games.    For this week's Cover Story interview with executive producer Davies, follow the link below.
