Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
Pop Culture Jeopardy returns this week with three more episodes. In the week’s first game, we have “It’s A She Thing”, “South Shore Squad”, and “Generation XYZ”.
The team description on the website of Generation XYZ I found extremely disappointing: “Does this team of self-proclaimed ‘PotterHeads’ have what it takes to Avada Kedavra the competition?” This is your reminder—as I have stated on this website multiple times in the past—J.K. Rowling feels she receives justification for her continued hatred of the trans community from the continued relevance of Harry Potter. I am thus disappointed once again to see that series highlighted and celebrated; I am certainly not obligated to cheer for any team in this competition—your collective nostalgia does not trump the rights of a group of people. While I was glad to see nothing on this front mentioned on the show itself, it still does give me some sort of pause here.

Double Jeopardy was a tightly-contested battle; South Shore Squad found both Daily Doubles, splitting them for 2,000 wagers apiece. The game didn’t really get decided until the Triple Play clue, where an incorrect response from It’s A She Thing put South Shore Squad ahead for good.

Generation XYZ 11 correct 3 incorrect
Scores going into Final:

Generation XYZ 5,800
South Shore Squad was the only team correct in Final, and they advance—making the issue from earlier (see the Thoughts section below) moot.
Tonight’s results:
Generation XYZ 5,800 – 5,792 = 8 (Who is Cyndi Lau)
It’s A She Thing 12,000 – 8,601 = 3,399 (Who is Queen Latifah?)
South Shore Squad 16,400 + 7,601 = 24,001 (Who is Cher?) (Quarter-Finalist)

Andy’s Thoughts:
- The judges failed to pick up that South Shore Squad went out-of-order on the Jeopardy! Round Triple Play. Considering Kelsey last week was penalized for doing the same thing, this is an unacceptable mistake by the judges for not walking it back later. Thankfully, the rest of the game rendered it moot.
- Viewers were already confused by the ordering issue on the Triple Play, and this mistake from the judges will do nothing to actually alleviate that confusion.
- Today’s box score will be linked to when posted by the show.
Final Jeopardy! wagering suggestions:
(Scores: South Shore Squad 16,400 It’s A She Thing 12,000 Generation XYZ 5,800)
It’s A She Thing: Bet no more than 399 to keep Generation XYZ locked out. (Actual bet: 8,601)
South Shore Squad: Standard cover bet is 7,601. (Actual bet: 7,601)
Generation XYZ: You have to bet at least 3,000 to have any chance of victory. (Actual bet: 5,792)
