@FanAnonymous38 In the last year of regular-play Jeopardy games, the number of women that have won at least four games (therefore qualifying for the ToC) is… one
And even including Stella Trout’s DD ruling misfire, that’s still only two female ToC qualifiers in the last year!
@triplechudsahur@Zeronium_ I had 22 attempts at the wave/ship dual and 20 of those attempts ended right there (and it’s not like it was a skill issue - my top 3 at that point was Plasma Pulse Finale, xo, and Sunset Sandstorm)
@TheBigBenDiesel I guarantee he’d be standing if not for the leg surgery he got shortly before taping, although I will give you that it seems like sitting likely makes it easier from an energy perspective (which is good news for me, since I’ll almost certainly have to sit when I get on the show!)
@MarioTravels The last time a 4-day champion with about $97K in winnings didn’t make a ToC was in 2019, which had a greatly reduced field and a greatly extended qualification period - even if Peter loses tonight, he’s almost certainly safe to qualify!
@Smash64Link@iranianwario The reason you’ve never seen a verification is because one can’t exist. It’s a quantity bigger than we as humans are currently capable of calculating
@Bibliophilopoly I’m guessing that they assumed his wager would be LESS than $10,001 - and in cases where you have a hunch that the leader won’t cover, ironically, the absolute best play is to bet everything (seeing as that and only that defends against *any* non-cover bet)
@iamoriginalz The current record for “largest deficit overcome on Day 2 of a 2-day final” is $26,000, so it would take a quite literally record-breaking performance from either team - it’s possible, for sure, but things are looking really good for Jonathan and McShane!
