Who Do You Care More To Impress?
I couldn’t help but notice this week that Lisa Sriken made a strategic choice in Final Jeopardy in her quarterfinal that broke the hearts of many in her cheering section, making a larger wager in Final when a smaller wager would have won her the game. I also couldn’t help but notice that her interview was where she was talking about her wardrobe purchases, as if she was more worried about impressing Lilly.
While Lilly is an important person to want to impress, I would also posit that impressing Lilly should not be your first order of business when it comes to Jeopardy! preparation in 2024. Learn your betting strategy; as was shown on multiple occasions this week, shrewd betting in Final Jeopardy directly led to both Deb Bilodeau and Jesse Matheny advancing to the semifinals—and who knows what’s in store for them, being that they’re still competing.

Remember the category, even at home!
Many fans were angry during yesterday’s game, believing that Emma Hill Kepron had somehow been hard done by, because of the judges overturning her response (in French) of “circonflexe” on a clue where the anticipated response was “circumflex”. Unfortunately, the French term ends with an E, and that is verboten in a category that clearly stated “Ends In X”.
Viewers at home are again reminded that correct responses also need to fit the demands of the category—remembering that could lead to significantly less unnecessary online anger.
Something I Realized This Week
Nobody has mentioned at all during Juveria Zaheer’s games in Season 40 that it was her game back in Season 39 that saw the foofaraw over the pronunciation of “Solzhenitsyn”. Considering how much we’ve seen about Juveria thus far in Season 40, I’m surprised that hasn’t really been mentioned.

I’m Reporting This Here As Confirmation, But We All Knew This Was Happening Anyway
Even though it was announced last May at the end of Season 1, Season 2 of Jeopardy! Masters has been confirmed to air this spring in ABC prime time; ABC confirmed this today at its Television Critics Association panel. I would expect this show to take up the 8pm–9pm block for The Mouse in May.
The full field for Masters will include James Holzhauer, Mattea Roach, Matt Amodio, and three other players to be determined.
In Closing
We’re getting extremely close to the next Tournament of Champions; I hope everyone enjoys next week’s games!
