Xanni Brown
Cincinnati, Ohio
20 correct, 1 incorrect
1/1 on rebound attempts (on 2 rebound opportunities)
31.58% in first on buzzer (18/57)
1/1 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $2,200)
0/1 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $18,200
Xanni’s first game: November 28, 2022
Xanni, who played in Cris Pannullo’s 16th game, had the highest-ever second place score of a player on the receiving end of a runaway game. (Of course that was going to be a Second Chance invitation-worthy performance, unlike what some commenters last November tried to claim.)
Overall Thoughts: If Christopher can dial back the incorrect responses, I think he might have the best chance of victory. If not, this could be absolutely anybody’s game.

Tammy put up over $22,000 going into Final Jeopardy against Ron Cheung and Andy Tirrell. Unfortunately, a difficult Final Jeopardy gave Ron the victory.
-->
Overall Thoughts: Tammy had the best raw statistics in her initial game, but certainly, Greg’s stats were clouded by the fact that he had to play against Ben Chan. “Strong opposition” is often a sign for success in Second Chance, which makes me think that Greg might have the best chance of victory.

Overall Thoughts: I think Raquel has the most to prove, having come closest to victory the first time out, but I think Xanni is a very strong player. Absolutely anyone could end up winning this one.
