Andy’s Thoughts:
- Team Brad has an effective lead of $1,750 over Team Ken and $14,000 or Team Colby. Absolutely anything can happen on Day 2, though!
- This was a good solid first game of a final, where neither Team Ken nor Team Brad was able to pull out any sort of major advantage. I can see this one coming down to a low-valued clue at the end of Double Jeopardy! tomorrow.
