Prediction: The odds of Buzzy vs. Austin in the final wouldn’t have been very long, but the fact that the analytics favors neither contestant is, frankly, shocking. Alan Lin has certainly been the player of the tournament so far. He has certainly come to play. But the interesting thing to me is that each player may very well carry an advantage in a different facet of the game, which makes this is very evenly-matched final. Alan has been a beast on the buzzer, Austin always seems to come up huge in Final Jeopardy, and Buzzy just seems to be able to come through in the clutch, no matter who he’s playing against. I would literally say that if you ran this final an infinite number of times, it would converge to each player winning one-third of the time, it is that close. In this specific case? My analytics are cheering for Alan, my heart is cheering for Buzzy, but I just can’t shake the feeling that Austin will somehow manage to pull a rabbit out of a hat and close out the tournament.
