Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
As we wait for the weekend to roll over into Monday and see if Harrison Whitaker can reach superchampion status, the show’s weekly look back at last season continues with Andrew Hayes’s 4th game. In this one, he took on Kyle Harvey of San Antonio and Jade Snelling of Blacksburg.
I do want to take the time to point out today that some minor changes might be coming to The Jeopardy! Fan in the near future in terms of how certain things—like detailed daily statistics and commenting—might be accessed. Certainly, the two biggest problems I feel I’m facing as the publisher here are plagiarism and disrespectful commenters, and I am investigating solutions in order to make for a better experience overall—and I do also want to make it clear that any solution will not include a paywall.

While Dresden was being bombed by the Allies in 1945, Kurt Vonnegut was being housed as a POW in the area. He managed to survive by hiding in a meat locker named “Schlachthof 5”, or, in English, “Slaughterhouse 5”, which later named a famous novel of Vonnegut’s.

Game Recap:
Andrew finding the Daily Double just before the break punctuated a very high-scoring opening round where our three players combined for nearly $20,000. Double Jeopardy saw Andrew split the Daily Doubles, which was enough to make sure that everyone at least still had a mathematical chance entering Final Jeopardy.
Final Jeopardy saw Jade and Andrew be correct, earning Andrew a fourth victory; next week’s rerun will feature Andrew making an attempt at victory #5.
It should be noted that the overall quality of contestants over the past year was so high that Kyle’s performance of 20 correct responses and being exactly 75% of a ToCer’s score entering Final Jeopardy was not enough to warrant a Second Chance invitation. (And I can’t even say I disagree with the show’s choice on this one, unfortunately for Kyle. The competition for spots was just that strong!)
Scores going into Final:
Andrew $17,600
Kyle $13,200
Jade $5,600
Tonight’s results:
Jade $5,600 + $3,200 = $8,800 (Who is Kurt Vonnegut?)
Kyle $13,200 – $1,999 = $11,201 (Who is Heller? Hi Austen and baby #2!)
Andrew $17,600 + $8,801 = $26,401 (Who is Vonnegut?) (4-day total: $98,603)
