Andy’s Pre-Game Thoughts:
The nightcap for this episode, between Victoria Groce, Yogesh Raut, and James Holzhauer, is being billed as a potential finals preview. All three of these players have been head-and-shoulders above Matt, Amy, and Mattea. Even though Victoria has clinched a spot in the semifinals, I don’t see her letting up whatsoever. I am very much hoping for a closely contested three-way match in this one.
It should be noted that if you’re in Canada, this match airs on CTV and not CTV2; depending on your PVR, you might have to set your PVR to record this one separately from the rest of the series.

Andy’s Thoughts:
- My best read on tonight’s Final Jeopardy situation is that Victoria thought that both James and Yogesh were going to make small bets. That obviously did not happen.
- Today’s box score will be linked to when posted by the show.
Final Jeopardy! wagering suggestions:
(Scores: Victoria $20,800 Yogesh $18,400 James $18,000)
Victoria: Standard cover bet over Yogesh is $16,001. (Actual bet: $3,200)
Yogesh: You’re in Stratton’s Dilemma; you can’t both cover James and win a Triple Stumper. James is probably more likely to make a small bet here from third, but your choices here in my eyes are either “cover James” (at least $17,601) or “force James to be right” ($399 or less). (Actual bet: $17,601)
James: Bet no more than $13,200 and hope for a Triple Stumper (and big bets from Yogesh and Victoria). (Actual bet: $3,268)

Can’t wait until we get to the semi finals. With how the tournament works we just go back to square one at that point and with who I think will be in the final four it’s going to be quite interesting.
I believe we can already confirm matchups for Monday —
Game 1: Victoria, James, Matt.
Game 2: Yogesh, Amy, Mattea.
(The Yogesh-Amy pair has already faced Matt, James, and Victoria.)
Thanks, Matt.
I think this will also be the first Matt – Victoria match-up.
No, they faced each other (and Mattea) in Game 1.
Through the first eight games, the only pair of players who haven’t met is Mattea and Yogesh.
Thanks, how did I miss that? I tracked last year and this year the various combinations (apparently, not tracking accurately) and had through 8 games, no Mattea and Yogesh and incorrectly …
Wow! What a game!
Sure was Nick-O and if we get these 3 in the 2 game Final, as many expect, we’re in for a treat! But, this is why they play the games!
I got FJ wrong, as I had no guess.
