Holy Cyclops! In hindsight, FJ was pretty gettable, though not for me. (I think I had a cheap Argus camera long ago. I paid $5 for it in 1971 and took about 200 photos that summer in Europe.) But 3/3 on DDs. I was apoplectic when Neilesh blurted out “Oregon Trail” on what may have been the easiest DD in ToC history. I did much better tonight than in most of the prior games, but blanked on all the listed stumpers.
VJ, Adriana’s give-back was $3200, not $3400. Had that remained intact, she and Neilesh theoretically both would have entered Final with $13600, making the wagering critical. Possibly a tie-breaker could have been in play if they both went all-in on FJ.
Isaac, maybe out of desperation, had too many self-inflicted wounds this week with multiple wrong answers.
Congratulations, Neilesh! We’ll see you in Season 3 of “Jeopardy! Masters”. 10 years ago today, Jennifer Giles won the 2015 Teachers Tournament, and she was the only woman to win the Teachers Tournament.
Well, that’s all she wrote. The exhibition game is tomorrow. The last one, with Matt and Mattea, was, actually, a dud (to me, at least).
1/3 on DD, and missed FJ, cleanly.
Wow, a really competitive game up to the FJ. Neilesh was again plenty sharp, and won the game. In my case, I did a tad above average in the game, but flubbed the FJ. Well, I’m sure that we’ll have another exciting game tomorrow, and I’m certainly looking forward to it.
I would’ve pronounced the last name wrong too. I always thought it was Miloti
Apparently, so did Ken. He repeated Adrian’s response the same way she said it.
Congratulations for Neilesh for winning the 2025 Tournament of Champions. This was a great finals and that means that Neilesh’s victory in the TOC is that he’ll be invited to compete in the Jeopardy Masters in primetime this spring on ABC.
The exhibition game of the TOC between Adriana, Isaac, and Drew Basile is airing tomorrow. The Jeopardy Invitational Tournament begins on Monday.
Dont understand her final bet when it is a winner take all situation. If she had bet it all she would have won the game. And taking all thise points away from her was terrible. They wanted Neilesh to win. Who knows why? But her final bet makes no sense.
No. Had she bet it all, she’d have had $20800. Neilesh won with $20801. (I like to analyze FJ wagers.) Her $6K wager was made to lock out Isaac, whose max total would have been $15600. Adriana knew Neilesh more or less had to wager $7201+ and get it wrong, which would have taken him way down to $6399. I applaud her thinking.
