Here are your semifinalists:

Overall Thoughts: Ryan is definitely still the favorite to advance to next week overall, but I will say that this draw did not do him any favors whatsoever. I like to use the term “fireworks game” to describe a game that I think is between three strong players, and Monday’s game definitely fits that bill. I certainly hope that the West Coast gets to see it! (Thanks, football!)

Overall Thoughts: Tuesday’s semifinal features Jonathan Hugendubler, Michelle Tsai, and Bill McKinney. At this point, this semifinal has the most number of combined wins, with 10 combined between our three players. The prediction model does give a slight edge to Jonathan, but all three players have demonstrated what it takes to win on the Alex Trebek Stage.

Wednesday, January 14, 2026:

Harvey Silikovitz
West Orange, New Jersey
66 correct, 8 incorrect
2/2 on rebound attempts (on 8 rebound opportunities)
38.60% in first on buzzer (66/171)
2/3 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $5,000)
1/3 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $17,667
35.605% to advance to final
11.312% to win Champions Wild Card
Overall Thoughts: Our last semifinal looks to be a toss-up per the prediction model. If we see the H-Bomb that destroyed everyone in his first-ever game, this semifinal isn’t going to be close. If not, though, absolutely anything can happen and I think this game might be too close to call.
