We’re one week through Second Chance, with two more weeks to play. One of these nine players will get to join Pete Johnston in Champions Wildcard; with those pairings having been released by the show on Friday, we know that whoever makes it through this week will play Dave Bond and Geoff Barnes on Tuesday, January 6.
One thing that we might want to keep in mind: four of the five Final Jeopardy clues last week were nearly universally seen in the fandom as incredibly difficult, with only Friday’s being easier. That might mean that having a runaway entering Final Jeopardy might become absolutely paramount here.
As with Week 1, the Unified Prediction Model has been used to make predictions, with the simulation running 100,000 times.
Monday, December 22, 2025:
Rachael Gray
Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio
Original appearance: April 18, 2025
17 correct, 1 incorrect
1/1 on rebound attempts (on 2 rebound opportunities)
26.32% in first on buzzer (15/57)
1/1 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $4,000)
0/1 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $13,400
35.269% to advance to final
11.949% to win Second Chance
Those of you who watch the weekend reruns would have seen Rachael’s appearance this weekend; she came very close to defeating Liam Starnes in Liam’s opening game.
Guy Branum
West Hollywood, California
Original appearance: April 4, 2025
18 correct, 2 incorrect
2/3 on rebound attempts (on 6 rebound opportunities)
26.32% in first on buzzer (15/57)

Average Coryat: $9,000
32.503% to advance to final
10.475% to win Second Chance
Guy had the misfortune back in April of having to play against a pair of ToCers in Mike Dawson and Bryce Wargin; his 18 correct responses against that competition ensured a return trip to the Alex Trebek Stage.
Jasmine Zhou
Woodland, California
Original appearance: December 17, 2024
17 correct, 1 incorrect
0/1 on rebound attempts (on 2 rebound opportunities)
26.32% in first on buzzer (15/57)

1/1 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $14,200
32.228% to advance to final
10.298% to win Second Chance
Jasmine played against Ashley Chan in Ashley’s fourth game; interestingly, in a win that sent Ashley to the Tournament of Champions, Jasmine didn’t bet enough in Final Jeopardy—meaning Ashley was able to escape by not making a cover bet herself. Will Jasmine do better than Chris Turner-Neal last week?

Tuesday, December 23, 2025:
Bob Callen
Lexington, Kentucky
Original appearance: April 21, 2025
20 correct, 1 incorrect
2/2 on rebound attempts (on 4 rebound opportunities)
29.82% in first on buzzer (17/57)
1/1 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $1,200)
0/1 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $15,600
31.547% to advance to final
10.331% to win Second Chance
Bob’s original appearance will be airing on next weekend’s rerun. For those who don’t want to wait? Bob was leading Liam Starnes entering Final in Liam’s second game before an incorrect response in Final Jeopardy.
Molly Murray
New York, New York
Original appearance: November 6, 2025
16 correct, 0 incorrect
0/0 on rebound attempts (on 1 rebound opportunity)
22.81% in first on buzzer (13/57)
2/2 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $6,200)
1/1 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $15,800
38.202% to advance to final
14.685% to win Second Chance
Molly came very close to unseating Allegra Kuney, but conservative Daily Double betting allowed Allegra to pick up 11 of the last 16 clues in their game. Interestingly, Molly taped Second Chance prior to her episode airing—meaning, her opponents would have had no idea what happened in her game.
Michelle Tsai
Honolulu, Hawaii
Original appearance: May 7, 2025
22 correct, 2 incorrect
2/2 on rebound attempts (on 7 rebound opportunities)
35.09% in first on buzzer (20/57)
0/1 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: -$4,600)
0/1 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $18,200
30.251% to advance to final
9.274% to win Second Chance
Michelle’s missed Daily Double does bring down her numbers slightly per the Unified Prediction Model, but she did have 22 correct, a $18,200 Coryat, and she only lost because Dan Moren chose not to make a cover bet.

Wednesday, December 24, 2025:
Aaron Himmel
Long Island, New York
Original appearance: November 4, 2025
23 correct, 4 incorrect
2/2 on rebound attempts (on 7 rebound opportunities)
40.35% in first on buzzer (23/57)
0/1 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: -$3,000)
0/1 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $18,000
29.246% to advance to final
8.277% to win Second Chance
Much like Michelle, his missed Daily Double does hurt his numbers slightly in the prediction model, but his 23 correct and $18,000 Coryat will make him a difficult out in this event.
Andrew Wang
Winnetka, Illinois
Original appearance: July 11, 2025
17 correct, 1 incorrect
0/0 on rebound attempts (on 1 rebound opportunity)
26.32% in first on buzzer (15/57)
2/2 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $6,500)
1/1 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $12,800
40.041% to advance to final
15.596% to win Second Chance
Andrew came agonizingly close to ending Scott Riccardi’s run. However, Andrew left money on the table on both of his Daily Doubles, only to watch as Scott picked up 14 of the last 22 clues in order to come back from over $10,000 down to lead by just $1,900 entering Final Jeopardy. That performance against a player of Scott’s calibre does make Andrew the favorite to win the week—but there’s so much variance in this game that all 9 players have a reasonable chance of advancing.
Melanie Hirsch
Silver Spring, Maryland
Original appearance: March 26, 2025
23 correct, 4 incorrect
1/1 on rebound attempts (on 4 rebound opportunities)
40.35% in first on buzzer (23/57)
0/2 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: -$6,000)
0/1 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $18,000
30.713% to advance to final
9.115% to win Second Chance
Melanie Hirsch nearly defeated Josh Weikert in Josh’s fourth game, but a difficult Final Jeopardy that day relegated her to Second Chance consideration.
