15 players are down to 9 in Champions Wildcard as one of these players will earn the 21st and final spot in the 33rd Tournament of Champions. As is usual here at The Jeopardy! Fan, the Unified Prediction Model has been run to predict the week’s outcomes.
Here are your semifinalists:
Monday, January 12, 2026:
Ryan Sharpe
Oakville, Ontario, Canada
119 correct, 10 incorrect
9/9 on rebound attempts (on 17 rebound opportunities)
37.54% in first on buzzer (107/285)
7/8 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $37,326)
4/5 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $18,880
37.491% to advance to final
15.912% to win Champions Wild Card
Vickie Talvola
Jersey City, New Jersey
65 correct, 6 incorrect
6/8 on rebound attempts (on 18 rebound opportunities)
32.75% in first on buzzer (56/171)

1/3 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $14,400
29.933% to advance to final
10.494% to win Champions Wild Card
Overall Thoughts: Ryan is definitely still the favorite to advance to next week overall, but I will say that this draw did not do him any favors whatsoever. I like to use the term “fireworks game” to describe a game that I think is between three strong players, and Monday’s game definitely fits that bill. I certainly hope that the West Coast gets to see it! (Thanks, football!)

Overall Thoughts: Tuesday’s semifinal features Jonathan Hugendubler, Michelle Tsai, and Bill McKinney. At this point, this semifinal has the most number of combined wins, with 10 combined between our three players. The prediction model does give a slight edge to Jonathan, but all three players have demonstrated what it takes to win on the Alex Trebek Stage.

Wednesday, January 14, 2026:

31.55% in first on buzzer (53/168)
7/8 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $18,000)
2/3 in Final Jeopardy

Ian Morrison

1/2 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $2,000)
2/3 in Final Jeopardy

Harvey Silikovitz
West Orange, New Jersey
66 correct, 8 incorrect
2/2 on rebound attempts (on 8 rebound opportunities)
38.60% in first on buzzer (66/171)
2/3 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $5,000)
1/3 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $17,667
35.605% to advance to final
11.312% to win Champions Wild Card
Overall Thoughts: Our last semifinal looks to be a toss-up per the prediction model. If we see the H-Bomb that destroyed everyone in his first-ever game, this semifinal isn’t going to be close. If not, though, absolutely anything can happen and I think this game might be too close to call.
