Andy’s Thoughts:

  • I really enjoyed the opening segment where Alex sat down with the 6 captains and some mild trash-talking ensued.
  • The tournament started with some fireworks for sure, with who I believe to be the two best buzzers (Alex and Brad) competing against each other. Through 10 clues, it was Alex 5 Colby 2 Brad 1 on the buzzer. Over the final 20, it was Brad 12 Colby 4 Alex 3.
  • The players cleared out all of $600, $800, and $1000 hunting for a Daily Double. Of course it would be at the $400 level. Ben Ingram would have found it much quicker.
  • There are still 92 clues left to play over the next two days. Absolutely anything can happen.
  • Tomorrow, Buzzy will play Double Jeopardy for Team Buzzy against Alan (Team Colby) and Larissa (Team Brad), with Jennifer, Pam, and David playing Final Jeopardy.
  • Effective in first on buzzer stats: Brad 48.15% (13/27), Alex 29.63% (8/27), Colby 22.22% (6/27)
