Andy’s Thoughts:
- I found it interesting that Alex specifically said that 5 wins was an automatic qualification for the Tournament of Champions. (Which makes sense, as every past 5-time champion has generally qualified for a Tournament of Champions, with the exceptions of death or personal misconduct).
- You could tell that Jack’s miss on his first Daily Double really hurt his confidence. It was hard for him to come back from that.
