Did anyone else get fooled by that Steve Jobs J!-style clue during the break? I was afraid Aleve was gone forever.
Maybe I missed it last night.
Anyway, another good game – Audrey got burned on her second Daily Double, or she might be in the lead right now.

Some more mind games tonight, with Ed in the driver’s seat.
I used to prefer that the second-place player go all-in here, but after looking at the data, I’m changing my tune on that. I’ll have more on that soon.

Another new champ! I like Audrey a lot – she clearly has fun and isn’t afraid to make big wagers on the Daily Doubles. We’ll see how she does in her first defense tomorrow.
