We have cut our initial field of 18 players in the Jeopardy! Invitational Tournament down to 9; here is a preview of the semifinals, taking place from February 13–17. As always, the predictions have been made from the Unified Prediction Model simulator being run 100,000 times.
Friday, February 13, 2026:
Roger Craig
Johnstown, Pennsylvania
616 correct, 125 incorrect
38/47 on rebound attempts (on 103 rebound opportunities)
40.56% in first on buzzer (625/1541)
37/44 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $161,000)
14/25 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $15,662
44.141% to advance to final
17.625% to win tournament
Jen Giles
Longmont, Colorado
120 correct, 19 incorrect
5/7 on rebound attempts (on 32 rebound opportunities)
29.75% in first on buzzer (119/400)
3/5 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $2,400)
4/8 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $11,900
25.376% to advance to final
5.225% to win tournament
Drew Basile
Birmingham, Michigan
223 correct, 50 incorrect
12/18 on rebound attempts (on 59 rebound opportunities)
36.15% in first on buzzer (227/628)
11/17 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $36,400)
6/11 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $14,218
30.483% to advance to final
8.250% to win tournament
Overall Thoughts: I can’t exactly say I expected to see Roger draw a pair of wild cards in this semifinal, but in all truthfulness, the matchups haven’t really moved the needle that much overall in terms of anyone’s overall win percentage. Besides, with the quarterfinals having played as tough as they have, it wouldn’t surprise me to see more conservative play in the semis.

Monday, February 16, 2026:
Matt Amodio
New York, New York
1815 correct, 221 incorrect
81/96 on rebound attempts (on 230 rebound opportunities)
44.70% in first on buzzer (1750/3915)
102/121 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $389,200)
47/68 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $20,887
40.018% to advance to final
18.499% to win tournament
Andrew He
Concord, California
577 correct, 81 incorrect
38/44 on rebound attempts (on 104 rebound opportunities)
31.64% in first on buzzer (541/1710)
32/43 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $139,000)
16/30 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $14,987
39.110% to advance to final
17.605% to win tournament
Alison Betts
San Jose, California
163 correct, 35 incorrect
11/14 on rebound attempts (on 51 rebound opportunities)
35.53% in first on buzzer (162/456)
11/14 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $28,000)
4/8 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $12,475
20.872% to advance to final
5.188% to win tournament
Overall Thoughts: Andrew He definitely had the fourth-best performance of the quarterfinals; I just thought he’d still have been matched away from Matt Amodio and Roger Craig. The holiday matchup looks to be an absolute doozy on paper, though—with the added wrinkle of Alison having gone viral this week for her own advancement out of the quarterfinals. I could see just about anything happening—including Alison coming up through the middle for the second time in less than a week.

Tuesday, February 17, 2026:
Long Nguyen
Las Vegas, Nevada
125 correct, 19 incorrect
7/10 on rebound attempts (on 24 rebound opportunities)
34.80% in first on buzzer (119/342)
8/9 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $20,000)
5/6 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $14,600
38.288% to advance to final
12.308% to win tournament
Karen Farrell
Chesapeake, Virginia
261 correct, 32 incorrect
17/22 on rebound attempts (on 58 rebound opportunities)
37.63% in first on buzzer (245/651)
8/14 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $5,900)
10/12 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $15,883
30.371% to advance to final
7.336% to win tournament
Drew Goins
Washington, D.C.
238 correct, 34 incorrect
10/13 on rebound attempts (on 45 rebound opportunities)
37.16% in first on buzzer (233/627)
11/15 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $23,600)
5/11 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $16,473
31.341% to advance to final
7.964% to win tournament
Overall Thoughts: At first glance, this looks to be a curious matchup. However, the more I think about it, the more I like it. Long is rewarded for an extremely strong quarterfinal performance by getting to avoid all of Matt, Andrew, and Roger, while Karen proved how strong she can be with how well she played in Double Jeopardy against Matt Amodio. Meanwhile, Drew just seems to find ways to take victories even when it seems to be unlikely. While the prediction model does favor Long, especially after what happened in the quarters, this is one of those matchups where anything can happen.
