Andy’s Thoughts:

  • Austin is 14-for-17 lifetime in Final Jeopardy. To have him not playing a Final Jeopardy feels like a poor lineup decision — especially considering Roger is only 8-for-15 lifetime. We’ll see if it works out, but if this first round is any indication, things are going to be much easier for Ken.
  • I was very impressed with how Ben played that round; his 0 incorrect responses (and 2 rebounds) have put Team Julia in a very good position.
  • Things should be very interesting tomorrow with Matt vs. Roger on Double Jeopardy (though Team Julia did not release their lineup for tomorrow on today’s broadcast, or on Jeopardy.com.)
