 FOR GRAND SLAM SHOWDOWNS Next weekend, eight more challengers----representing decades from the '70s to the current day----vie for the final four quarterfinal slots (7 p.m., Saturday and Sunday, EDT/PDT). TVgameshows.net, which has not seen any advance copies of the tournament, offers predictions for the four showdowns: Dave Legler vs. Frank Spangenberg: Just as was the case with Ed Toutant vs. Pawlowicz Sunday night, this is one of those matchups which, because of seeding based on cash winnings, would probably have been better later in the tournament. Spangenberg was a dominant Jeopardy! player before the money was doubled and was the only player to top $100,000 in a single week in the syndicated era under the original dollar values. He went deep into the series' Ultimate Tournament of Champions in 2005.For this week's Cover Story interview with executive producer Davies, follow the link below.

Nancy Christy vs. Ogi Ogas: An interesting showdown of two Meredith Vieira-era WWTBAM megawinners (Christy, TV's only female quiz millionaire, and Ogas a $500,000 champ). Ogi had deja vu from a Jeopardy! Daily Double failure which kept him from pulling the trigger on his $1 million question (to which he knew the answer). Nancy coolly went through her final six questions without a Lifeline and is one of the most well-read players in the entire tournament.
John Carpenter vs. Thom McKee: A classic matchup of two different decades and two different game show formats. Carpenter has been out of the quiz show picture (save a return appearance in the abortive Millionaire Champions Classic in 2000) since his win as the first WWTBAM millionaire in November 1999. McKee, likewise, has never tried another quiz after his record-setting Tic Tac Dough performance of 43 victories over 46 games ($312,700 in winnings).
Phyllis Harris vs. Rahim Oberholzer: Oberholzer, NBC's first-ever millionaire on Twenty One in 2000, is another one who has shied away from another try at the quiz circuit since his seven-figure victory. Harris, on the other hand, may be one of the most competitive people in the entire tournament. Never give Phyllis an inch in any type of trivia or quiz competition because she can carve you up.
