Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:

The “nightcap” in tonight’s episode features a battle between the two newcomers—Victoria Groce and Yogesh Raut—and Amy Schneider. I’m expecting this to be a Victoria-Yogesh battle; I think Amy will be lucky to leave this with a single point.

I have an occasional mailbag column where I answer fan & viewer questions regarding the show. If you have a question, feel free to send it to mailbag@thejeopardyfan.com!

• I was okay with Amy’s first two times going back to World Cities—it’s advanced strategy when that far behind to try to build up your score first. I didn’t like the third one, though.
• Today’s box score will be linked to when posted by the show.
