I had completely forgotten about Kris coming back. He seems like a nice guy. I'd like to see him challenge Matt and Amy's numbers.

Of course you don't, but being used to more complex issues makes Jeopardy! wagering much easier.

The champ killed it tonight. Could have smashed James’s one day record but 71K isn’t bad.

James had 71k+ only 20 times.

Matt scared the **** out of him. Champ comes up big in the clutch. Matt left too much meat on the bone

I thought Matt had it at one point. He'll definitely be back for the next second chance tournament.

Two scares in a row. Seems maybe the champ had a bad taping day as he seems a bit off overall, coupled with some tough competition. The rest of the week can be interesting if my guess about a bad day is correct.

8 lead changes in double jeopardy is phenomenal.

Is William Henry Harrison ever the correct response to any question that doesn't center around his death after one month in office?

Maybe the rare question about the Battle of Tippicanoe.

Only president to be grandfather to another president?
Last president born as a British subject?

I should have included something about “activity” in office. He’s also the answer to “the only president who shares a birthday with Saquon Barkley”.

Fun fact regarding the “marriage’ clue: Harrison would also be the answer to questions about whose wife other than George Washington’s was the only one who never visited their husband at the White House during their presidency.

Ray won another one because of his opponents FJ wagering mistakes

Going into final:
Ray: $20100
Kim: $14,800
Jason: $10800

Ray bets to cover. Kim can bet small to win on a triple stumper or big to win if she's right and Ray misses or bets small. Instead she bets $5000..

With Ray betting to cover and Kim betting too big, Jason also could have won on a triple stumper. But at least his big bet is defendable.

Isaac wins the game if he goes all in on the DD

Usually I'm in the "more Jeopardy is better" camp but that format sounds totally unnecessary to me.

5 players who recently competed against each other in the ToC plus one guy who has proven to be far superior in the past.

I understand they needed another prime time format. But they could have come up with something else.
