Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
The initial game of our two-hour finale tonight features our third of four matches in the round robin semifinal, as Victoria Groce, Isaac Hirsch, and Juveria Zaheer take part. Victoria has already booked her ticket to the final, but can ensure first podium in the final by finishing either first or second in this game. The Unified Prediction Model gives Victoria a 45.6% chance, to Juveria’s 30.0% chance and Isaac’s 24.4% chance.
What is more intriguing is the battle between Juveria and Isaac for what is likely the third spot in the final—as things stand now, Isaac has 11 correct responses in the semifinals to Juveria’s 9; I’ll be watching how that shakes down as today’s episode plays out.

If Victoria wins this game then Yogesh is basically guaranteed to be in the finals. Yogesh is Victoria’s strongest competition, so it seems that Victoria has incentive to not win this game because then Yogesh could possibly be eliminated in the second game.
Rooting for Yogesh
Andy, you have a typo [just an accidently un-typed letter] in the Final Jeopardy clue. I says “hoage” instead of “homage”.
LOL, then I had one — apparently didn’t tap the “t” key hard enough in “It says”.
