Overall Thoughts: For the entire history of the show, pairings in Jeopardy! tournaments have often been constructed in order to provide for entertaining matchups at all rounds of the event. And, as someone who has often watched 2000s-era Patriots–Colts and 2020s-era Bills–Chiefs matchups in the AFC Divisional round, I’d be hard-pressed to say there isn’t a professional sporting analogue for this. (To say nothing of the fact that this feels very much like what happened in 2011, when Joon Pahk, Mark Runsvold, and Roger Craig ended up in the same semifinal.) That being said, I have a couple of feelings: regardless of the eventual outcome, this is going to be a semifinal people will be talking about for a long time, and I suspect that whoever doesn’t win this game will very likely be seeing an Invitational Tournament invitation next year.

Overall Thoughts: A lot of people were wondering why the Unified Prediction Model was giving Steven better odds than Scott after the quarterfinals. With these pairings, Steven’s odds got even better, having drawn Laura Faddah and TJ Fisher. Steven is the clear favorite here after a dominant quarterfinal on Friday, but anything can happen on the Alex Trebek Stage.
