For the next two weeks (and four days), 27 of the 30 players from Season 35’s two Teen Tournaments return for the High School Reunion Tournament. Emma Arnold, Rotimi Kukoyi, and Sophia Weng were unable to take part for various reasons and have been promised a future re-appearance on the show.

In case you want to watch the first appearances of these players, Jeopardy!’s YouTube channel has the 20 episodes of the Season 35 teen tournaments.

Some of the players will want to prove that their first performance was no accident. Others, for various reasons, will have some sort of redemption on their mind and will want to make the most of their second chance. It will be an exciting few weeks!

As always, my tournament prediction model has run 100,000 simulations of the tournament to devise its predictions.

Monday, February 20:

Audrey Sarin on Jeopardy!


Audrey Sarin
Senior at Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo
Seattle, Washington
12 correct, 1 incorrect
0/0 on rebound attempts (on 2 rebound opportunities)
21.05% in first on buzzer (12/57)
0/0 on Daily Doubles
1/1 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $8,400

Predictions:
27.314% to win quarterfinal 13.236% to win semifinal 1.553% to win tournament

Maya Wright on Jeopardy!


Maya Wright
Senior at Emory University
Peachtree City, Georgia
85 correct, 7 incorrect
6/6 on rebound attempts (on 13 rebound opportunities)
35.71% in first on buzzer (80/224)
2/2 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $1,600)
2/4 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $14,700

Predictions:

Rohit Kataria on Jeopardy!


Rohit Kataria
Junior at Vanderbilt University
Wheelersburg, Ohio
16 correct, 3 incorrect
1/1 on rebound attempts (on 3 rebound opportunities)
29.82% in first on buzzer (17/57)
0/0 on Daily Doubles
0/1 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $11,400

Predictions:
31.553% to win quarterfinal 8.760% to win semifinal 2.186% to win tournament

Andy’s Thoughts: Based solely on past performance, Maya would look like the favorite here; after all, she was a finalist in her tournament, whereas Audrey and Rohit both were eliminated in the quarterfinals. However, what we don’t know is how each player’s skills have changed over the past four years. I’m certainly curious to see how things play out!

Tuesday, February 21:

Avi Gupta on Jeopardy!


Avi Gupta
Senior at Stanford University
Portland, Oregon
95 correct, 5 incorrect
5/5 on rebound attempts (on 10 rebound opportunities)
38.43% in first on buzzer (88/229)
3/3 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $9,000)
4/4 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $16,150

Predictions:
45.970% to win quarterfinal 19.875% to win semifinal 8.878% to win tournament

Jack Izzo on Jeopardy!


Jack Izzo
Senior at Northwestern University
San Diego, California
38 correct, 6 incorrect
0/2 on rebound attempts (on 5 rebound opportunities)
33.33% in first on buzzer (38/114)
1/2 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: -$4,600)
1/2 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $13,800

Predictions:
29.367% to win quarterfinal 9.239% to win semifinal 2.688% to win tournament

Alison Purcell on Jeopardy!


Alison Purcell
Senior at the University of Texas at Austin
Bellaire, Texas
13 correct, 1 incorrect
0/1 on rebound attempts (on 2 rebound opportunities)
21.05% in first on buzzer (12/57)
0/0 on Daily Doubles
1/1 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $5,800

Predictions:
24.663% to win quarterfinal 6.887% to win semifinal 1.695% to win tournament

Andy’s Thoughts: Avi comes into this tournament as the favorite; he was the strongest player in the two tournaments combined four years ago. But four years is a long time; it’s definitely a wide-open tournament, in my opinion. By this time, we’ll definitely have more of an idea how things will shake down over the 14-game event. Especially with everyone coming back, the potential storylines are endless; some players, like Avi, might be gunning for the ToC spot they didn’t get before, while others might be out for redemption after their first appearance might not have gone perfectly for them. It’s very intriguing!

Wednesday, February 22:

Stephanie Pierson on Jeopardy!


Stephanie Pierson
Junior at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill
Macon, Georgia
14 correct, 2 incorrect
1/2 on rebound attempts (on 3 rebound opportunities)
21.05% in first on buzzer (12/57)
0/1 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: -$2,000)
1/1 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $9,000

Predictions:
23.694% to win quarterfinal 6.031% to win semifinal 1.361% to win tournament

Autumn Shelton on Jeopardy!


Autumn Shelton
Junior at Princeton University
Lamar, Missouri
35 correct, 4 incorrect
3/5 on rebound attempts (on 9 rebound opportunities)
25.44% in first on buzzer (29/114)
2/3 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $200)
2/2 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $13,600

Predictions:
37.148% to win quarterfinal 13.024% to win semifinal 4.513% to win tournament

Sreekar Madabushi on Jeopardy!


Sreekar Madabushi
Junior at the Georgia Institute of Technology
Basking Ridge, New Jersey
20 correct, 1 incorrect
1/1 on rebound attempts (on 3 rebound opportunities)
29.82% in first on buzzer (17/57)
1/2 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $3,600)
1/1 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $12,400

Predictions:
39.158% to win quarterfinal 14.094% to win semifinal 5.141% to win tournament

Andy’s Thoughts: Sreekar is definitely one of those players who I think is out for redemption during this tournament; he had 20 correct but didn’t make the semifinals because of a conservative Final Jeopardy! bet. Autumn was a semifinalist, while Stephanie bowed out in the quarters. The prediction model likes Sreekar or Autumn, but it’s so difficult to predict anything with four-year-old data.

Thursday, February 23:

Justin Bolsen on Jeopardy!


Justin Bolsen
First-year student at Brown University
Canton, Georgia
38 correct, 6 incorrect
3/4 on rebound attempts (on 10 rebound opportunities)
30.70% in first on buzzer (35/114)
3/4 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $900)
1/1 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $14,700

Predictions:
34.848% to win quarterfinal 12.905% to win semifinal 4.595% to win tournament

Shriya Yarlagadda on Jeopardy!


Shriya Yarlagadda
Sophomore at Harvard University
Grand Blanc, Michigan
33 correct, 3 incorrect
1/1 on rebound attempts (on 5 rebound opportunities)
24.56% in first on buzzer (28/114)
4/5 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $4,800)
1/2 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $14,000

Predictions:
32.803% to win quarterfinal 12.044% to win semifinal 4.258% to win tournament

Teagan O'Sullivan on Jeopardy!


Teagan O’Sullivan
First-year student at American University
Watertown, Massachusetts
43 correct, 6 incorrect
0/0 on rebound attempts (on 3 rebound opportunities)
39.47% in first on buzzer (45/114)
1/2 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: -$500)
2/2 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $17,700

Predictions:
32.349% to win quarterfinal 11.687% to win semifinal 4.180% to win tournament

Andy’s Thoughts: The prediction model thinks this is one of the two most evenly-matched quarter-finals, with all three players between 32-35% chance to win. Justin may be in search of redemption after missing a late True Daily Double in his tournament; it’s also a matchup between three semifinalists from the Spring 2019 tournament.

Friday, February 24:

Jackson Jones on Jeopardy!


Jackson Jones
Junior at Vanderbilt University
Louisville, Kentucky
45 correct, 5 incorrect
1/1 on rebound attempts (on 5 rebound opportunities)
38.26% in first on buzzer (44/115)
3/3 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $7,000)
1/2 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $19,000

Predictions:
44.455% to win quarterfinal 18.431% to win semifinal 8.012% to win tournament

Ryan Presler on Jeopardy!


Ryan Presler
Senior at Brandon Valley High School
Sioux Falls, South Dakota
67 correct, 3 incorrect
3/3 on rebound attempts (on 15 rebound opportunities)
26.32% in first on buzzer (60/228)
3/3 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $8,000)
2/4 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $13,550

Predictions:
33.100% to win quarterfinal 11.591% to win semifinal 4.007% to win tournament

Isabella Pagano on Jeopardy!


Isabella Pagano
First-year student at Caltech
Libertyville, Illinois
14 correct, 2 incorrect
0/1 on rebound attempts (on 3 rebound opportunities)
24.56% in first on buzzer (14/57)
0/0 on Daily Doubles
0/1 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $8,000

Predictions:
22.445% to win quarterfinal 6.117% to win semifinal 1.458% to win tournament

Andy’s Thoughts: This match was one tiebreaker away from being a rematch of the 2019 final, at least between Jackson and Ryan. In between, I think Isabella got a difficult draw here. Ryan is in the tournament after initially being the alternate, after Rotimi Kukoyi was unable to participate.

Monday, February 27:

Rohan Kapileshwari on Jeopardy!


Rohan Kapileshwari
Senior at the Universty of Texas at Austin
Winston-Salem, North Carolina
40 correct, 7 incorrect
0/1 on rebound attempts (on 3 rebound opportunities)
38.60% in first on buzzer (44/114)
0/0 on Daily Doubles
1/2 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $12,400

Predictions:
32.491% to win quarterfinal 10.667% to win semifinal 3.397% to win tournament

Claire Sattler on Jeopardy!


Claire Sattler
Senior at Yale University
Bonita Springs, Florida
81 correct, 12 incorrect
7/8 on rebound attempts (on 15 rebound opportunities)
33.48% in first on buzzer (75/224)
5/6 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $8,000)
3/4 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $15,550

Predictions:
39.964% to win quarterfinal 15.001% to win semifinal 5.665% to win tournament

Rhea Sinha on Jeopardy!


Rhea Sinha
Cornell University graduate
Chatham, New Jersey
15 correct, 3 incorrect
0/2 on rebound attempts (on 4 rebound opportunities)
26.32% in first on buzzer (15/57)
0/0 on Daily Doubles
0/1 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $11,800

Predictions:
27.545% to win quarterfinal 8.112% to win semifinal 2.238% to win tournament

Andy’s Thoughts: Claire is the favorite in this quarterfinal—after all, she has her own tournament championship to defend! Of course, she’ll also have a target on her back, having a tournament win under her belt.

Tuesday, November 28:

Lucas Miner on Jeopardy!


Lucas Miner
Junior at Yale University
Miami, Florida
73 correct, 13 incorrect
4/4 on rebound attempts (on 10 rebound opportunities)
31.14% in first on buzzer (71/228)
3/7 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: -$2,000)
4/4 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $12,950

Predictions:
36.808% to win quarterfinal 12.085% to win semifinal 3.921% to win tournament

Anish Maddipoti on Jeopardy!


Anish Maddipoti
Junior at the University of Texas-Austin
Austin, Texas
17 correct, 5 incorrect
0/0 on rebound attempts (on 2 rebound opportunities)
33.33% in first on buzzer (19/57)
1/2 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: -$2,400)
0/1 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $9,200

Predictions:
25.313% to win quarterfinal 6.544% to win semifinal 1.475% to win tournament

Audrey Satchivi on Jeopardy!


Audrey Satchivi
Senior at Indiana University-Bloomington
Carmel, Indiana
32 correct, 2 incorrect
4/4 on rebound attempts (on 11 rebound opportunities)
23.68% in first on buzzer (27/114)
1/1 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $3,000)
1/2 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $12,400

Predictions:
37.879% to win quarterfinal 12.697% to win semifinal 4.229% to win tournament

Andy’s Thoughts: Despite Lucas being a finalist, Audrey played very well in her tournament and comes into this match as a slight favorite. (It just goes to show how much luck is often in these tournaments in general; the margin between winning and losing is so small in many cases.) Those margins are what make predicting these events so difficult.

Wednesday, March 1:

Tim Cho on Jeopardy!


Tim Cho
Senior at Columbia University
Champaign, Illinois
40 correct, 6 incorrect
1/1 on rebound attempts (on 4 rebound opportunities)
34.21% in first on buzzer (39/114)
3/4 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $4,400)
2/2 in Final Jeopardy

0/2 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: -$3,000)

Average Coryat: $600

Predictions:

Eesha Sohail on Jeopardy!


Eesha Sohail
UCLA graduate
Bakersfield, California
37 correct, 6 incorrect
2/2 on rebound attempts (on 3 rebound opportunities)
34.21% in first on buzzer (39/114)
0/0 on Daily Doubles
0/2 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $14,700

Predictions:
36.866% to win quarterfinal 11.619% to win semifinal 3.499% to win tournament

Andy’s Thoughts: Redemption is definitely the theme of quarterfinal #8: Tim is the favorite here, having nearly defeated tournament winner Claire Sattler in the semifinals. Dan will hopefully make a good showing; this tournament is a perfect chance at redemption for him, after giving 11 incorrect responses back in 2018. Meanwhile, Eesha herself would have been a finalist had her Final Jeopardy! wager in 2019 been less aggressive.

Thursday, March 2:

Maggie Brown on Jeopardy!


Maggie Brown
Sophomore at the University of West Florida
Pensacola, Florida
12 correct, 2 incorrect
0/0 on rebound attempts (on 4 rebound opportunities)
21.05% in first on buzzer (12/57)

0/1 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $12,200

Predictions:
32.644% to win quarterfinal 10.382% to win semifinal 3.153% to win tournament

Andy’s Thoughts: Another very even quarterfinal is predicted here, despite Maggie not reaching the semis four years ago. (Blame Lord of the Flies for that one.) This is one of those games where you definitely couldn’t say the prediction model got it wrong, regardless of the result.
