Effective today (Mythman and I agreed on this this morning after his return late last night), anyone who wants to insert their rating into the Quickcap may do so below my rating instead of leaving blank rating templates and a bunch of “TBAs” in many posts in order to avoid feeling obligated to leave a rating on an episode that you did not watch, and also to save me from inserting others’ ratings for them from other sites, especially if your rating varies across different sites. Same applies to the Weekly Stats.

I think Michael Davies is a jinx towards Matt as he still had not won a game under his watch as EP. With that being said, the men going up against Mattea Roach are Eric Ahasic and Andrew He.

And of course we’re up for a multi-part FJ! today. -___-

Final Jeopardy! Correct Answers: 1

Winner: Mattea (17,600)

The semifinals will be underway tomorrow where Amy Schneider will face off against Maureen O’Neil and Tyler Rhode.


Part of the reason this match was envisioned was due to the fact that this episode is likely to be preempted in many stations for coverage on the 2022 Election. Another was because Michael Davies and J! fans were concerned that Matt, Amy and Mattea may not play against each other otherwise, and also to get them on equal footing w/ the other semifinalists and work out their kinks.
