April Marquet Oakland, California  16 correct, 4 incorrect 2/2 on rebound attempts (on 5 rebound opportunities) 28.57% in first on buzzer (16/56) 1/1 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $5,000) 1/1 in Final Jeopardy Average Coryat: $12,400 April’s first game: September 13, 2022 April locked in the wrong bet against Luigi de Guzman and lost because of that.

Pam Warren Petersburg, Illinois  17 correct, 3 incorrect 0/1 on rebound attempts (on 5 rebound opportunities) 30.36% in first on buzzer (17/56) 1/1 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $4,000) 1/1 in Final Jeopardy Average Coryat: $10,800 Pam’s first game: September 30, 2022 Pam was the third player in the Cris Pannullo–David Sibley game who came incredibly close to defeating Cris before his run even got going! |
Overall Thoughts: After seeing how close Sophia Weng came to victory last week, I think it’s hard to predict who will end up winning this one!

Denise Carlon Seaside Heights, New Jersey  21 correct, 2 incorrect 1/1 on rebound attempts (on 2 rebound opportunities) 35.09% in first on buzzer (20/57) 1/1 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $2,000) 1/1 in Final Jeopardy Average Coryat: $14,400 Denise’s first game: January 2, 2023 Denise went into Final Jeopardy just $100 behind Ray Lalonde. |
Overall Thoughts: You’ve got a game between two players who put up over $25,000 going into Final Jeopardy, but did not win. I suspect that one of Roy and Michael will have the best chance of victory in this one, but you never know.

Long Nguyen Las Vegas, Nevada  18 correct, 2 incorrect 0/1 on rebound attempts (on 2 rebound opportunities) 28.07% in first on buzzer (16/57) 1/2 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: -$10,800) 1/1 in Final Jeopardy Average Coryat: $11,800 Long’s first game: March 14, 2023 Long was giving Stephen Webb a tough game before missing a late True Daily Double. The amount of disrespect Long has received on Reddit, though, before and after the announcement of the Second Chance players, has been palpable. I can tell you that Long has been preparing hard for this event and he will be very difficult to defeat. |

John Guszkowski Pomfret, Connecticut  22 correct, 2 incorrect 2/2 on rebound attempts (on 4 rebound opportunities) 35.09% in first on buzzer (20/57) 1/1 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $8,000) 1/1 in Final Jeopardy Average Coryat: $15,800 John’s first game: January 26, 2023 John gave Troy Meyer a strong game back in January, putting up $22,200 going into Final Jeopardy. |
Overall Thoughts: I’d like to see Long do well, if only to prove Reddit’s “prognosticators” wrong. Replace this!
