Overall Thoughts: In a game with a number of different storylines, I think the most important one in terms of potential Jeopardy! returns moving forward: Thus far in this postseason, Drew has proven to be the strongest contestant in terms of both gameplay and virality. If Drew can make it through this week, I see Drew getting invitations to future Jeopardy Invitational Tournaments and may even end up being a Masters alternate in a few months.

Overall Thoughts: After receiving an absolute gift at the end of last week, Paul now gets to face Marko and Mehal in this semifinal. I could very much see a match where all three players are well into five figures going into Final Jeopardy in this match.
