One more regular game before the ToC. Will our streak of one-time champs continue?
There’s a pretty good chance – kudos to Mike for nabbing that penultimate clue to break Laura’s runaway. And nice job, Sadie, wagering big on what you knew was going to be a tough Daily Double.

That’s two Kids Week-level Final clues in a row. The writers better step it up Monday for the ToC.

I don’t follow social media as much as Keith does. I noticed the arm crossing thing but I also noticed that it had no detrimental effect on his ability to successfully ring in. Given that, I thought it was actually a very good idea. Jeopardy! is high stress. Anything that contributes to a contestant being able to save energy for the clues and be even just a little more relaxed seems like a good thing to do. I bet we will start seeing others do the same thing.
