Thank You!
I would like to express my gratitude to the show and its web team for its prompt revealing of the semifinal matchups for Group 1 of Champions Wildcard on its website after last night’s game had finished. This allows everyone to spend the weekend speculating what might happen over the next week, and to me, this seems like free publicity for the show as fans discuss the possible outcomes.
For those who haven’t seen, the matchups are:
Monday: Lloyd Sy, Andy Tirrell, Martha Bath
Tuesday: Juveria Zaheer, Alec Chao, Robbi Ramirez
Wednesday: Michael Menkhus, Erin Portman, Ron Cheung
If it’s possible (and really I don’t see why it wouldn’t be) I would also like to see some way of maybe revealing an official bracket that tells viewers when a player’s next game is—this would allow for both fans watching the show and writers covering it a way to remain hyped about the events.

The ELVIS View
In case you missed it, Jeopardy! posted video online of ELVIS (the Electronic Lockout Verification Information System) in the context of the opening few clues of Tuesday’s Celebrity Jeopardy! final.
I found this to be very interesting information regarding the buzzer timing. What I’d still like to see, though—and I have expressed this wish before—is granular by-clue data of this, especially so that we might be able to see just how good someone like James Holzhauer or Mattea Roach is when it comes to the timing of the buzzer. Ideally, we’d even get the data on how many milliseconds after activation a player attempted to signal. (It’s probably just a pipe dream, but this is probably the last frontier when it comes to show data, so I can dream, right?)
Something That Appears To Have Been Lost In The “Discourse”
One thing that I’m noticing in discussion the last couple of months in the discussion regarding the current competition schedule is the major reason why this has happened: the writer’s strike.
As a reminder: Had the AMPTP not spent months trying to starve out the WGA back over the summer and Jeopardy! gone with its originally intended schedule, this past week would have concluded the 10th week of regular play this season.
“But, Andy,” you ask for the tenth time, “why couldn’t they have just run regular play?” And have people potentially pick between crossing a picket line and risking never being called for the show again? At least those who did choose to cross the picket line to return already had a chance to be on the show. (To say nothing of the fact that the reusing of material could have provided a distinct advantage to those who have likely spent years preparing by studying old material.)
That being said: Under Harry Friedman, the show would often spend the lead-up to a potential strike taping games well in advance—they certainly did this in 2004 and 2017, taping the beginning of the following season the previous April before any potential strike happened (Of course, in both of these cases, no strike happened). If there’s anything that can potentially be learned from this on the show’s end, it’s that Harry Friedman knew what he was doing—Jeopardy! should have set up its Season 39 & 40 production schedule to have a lengthier lead time, thereby allowing Michael Davies to stick to his initial plans all along.
In order to redesign our merchandise area to serve you better in 2026, all merchandise sales have been temporarily taken offline. Look for a return in late 2026! All previous orders will still be supported.
In Closing
I’m back to a 6-game week next week, with only the five regular games and the last Champions Wildcard Play-In Game on TuneIn on Friday night; have a great week, everyone!
