Andy’s Thoughts:
- I’m disappointed that Mayim failed to remind Matt that he could bet up to $2,000 on a Daily Double.
- Unfortunately, we are still waiting for an instance of all three players in a game betting $0 in Final Jeopardy.

Impressive win by Lauren. I’m just glad Elijah got “bulldog.” I’m sure everybody in Athens, Ga was yelling out the answer to that one.
That was a dominant performance by Lauren! Keep an eye on her in the next round!
And… my FJ 2 game win streak comes to a crashing halt. I’ve never read Milton, but I felt like I could have guessed at Paradise Lost if I’d had a couple of minutes to think 🙄😅
