Welcome to my weekly editorial where I talk about things in the world of Jeopardy!
Elsewhere In Game Shows This Week
Congratulations to my friend Jessica Pratesi, who’s picked up three wins on Channel 4’s Countdown in the UK this week; over her run, she’s also picked up a pair of 100-point wins. Her fourth game airs at 2:10 PM BST on Monday; here’s hoping that she gets to octochamp status by the end of next week!

On The Composition of the JIT Finals
The online discourse surrounding the Jeopardy! Invitational Tournament has moved into several people feeling like the JIT is anti-climactic, including, most prominently, a Jennifer Quail tweet saying, “See, yesterday and today is why I feel like the three people who knew a year in advance they’d be here should have had to play each other in the semis or quarters because we’re one game away from it making no difference,” about the fact that the finals are a rematch of Amy Schneider and Andrew He.
That said, I think there is an entity to blame for this, and it’s not Michael Davies. I blame Sullivan Compliance Corporation (the show’s Standards and Practices company). In another move where it appears on the outside to relish the Avery Brundage role that it plays in the modern game, contestants couldn’t even publicly say that they had been invited to this event. This rule needs to be removed outright for the sake of overall transparency and fairness. While Jennifer probably could have realized that she was likely due an invite and could have begun studying for that probability, the fact that she was limited in this respect to just three weeks’ notice is entirely the fault of the show’s outside Standards and Practices company. In fact, I would say that procedures should be changed from now on and that Jeopardy! should be allowed to publicly name as many people in the field as it wants in advance to allow as many players as possible to study as much as they want for the event.
Frankly, there are certain areas of the modern game where Standards and Practices still need to be present. This is not one of them. Trying to cherry-pick ways of keeping some contestants down over others will only lead to further disparities in the future and ultimately be less fair overall.
In order to redesign our merchandise area to serve you better in 2026, all merchandise sales have been temporarily taken offline. Look for a return in late 2026! All previous orders will still be supported.
I Did Take The Jeopardy! Test Last Saturday
As a part of the Jeoparday! festivities last week, I took the Jeopardy! test. I’m reasonably certain that I got a passing score. Of course, with my past contributions to the trivia community and who I’ve worked with in the past, I’m pretty sure that I’m not eligible to be a contestant on the show at this point.
Here’s what I’d like to see happen, though: Bring a few of us content creators in the fan community—like myself—on the show to play for charity. That way, we get the opportunity to be on the show, but without any sort of hangups regarding whether we’re “too close” to the show to be eligible in the eyes of the producers.
Of course, this is a selfish suggestion. But I’d love to be able to play at some point—and I figure that this might be my best chance.
