did the guy in the middle misbet yesterday to lose by 1$?
also, wheel of fortune, someone guessed “des moines, ohio” for a puzzle.

He was betting enough to beat Yogesh (who was in 2nd) by $1 if Yogesh bet everything and both got it correct. Bet just ended up not working because both got it wrong and opened the door for Ben.did the guy in the middle misbet yesterday to lose by 1$?

Despite the weird FJ betting, this TOC finals has been everything you could ask for. It was tied 1-1-1 after 3 games, all games except one have been competitive and the finishes except for the one runaway have been exciting. It's about the most evenly matched group you could ask for.
Yogesh would have won much more in his original run if he'd been better on the buzzer. It looks like he practiced, because he's acquitted himself pretty well there. He tends to start slow but then goes on runs as he gets more comfortable.
It also seems like he's making an effort to be more lighthearted when he talks because of how he came off during and after his original run.Despite the weird FJ betting, this TOC finals has been everything you could ask for.

Yeah, Yogesh has been a lot stronger on the buzzer through his ToC run. He caused a bit of a mini-controversy last year where he compared Jeopardy to Holey Moley. Feels like he accepted that if wanted to succeed this time around then, yeah, it is about more than just knowing trivia answers and did need to get better at the other skills needed. But I'm more Team Ben or Troy because of his comments last year.
They are all pretty even matched and has been fun to watch.
Well, for this tournament, we have 7 more quarterfinal matches, 3 semifinal matches and a final that will be either 2, 3 or 4 episodes (first to 2 wins). So that's another 2.5 to 3 weeks.Does anyone else wonder when we will have normal matches again?

But I don't know how they're filling the 6th spot of Jeopardy Masters.
1-3: James, Mattea and Matt, the top 3 finishers of last year's Jeopardy Masters.
4: Yogesh, winner of this year's TOC.
5: Whoever wins Jeopardy Invitational.
6: ????????????
That was my question, too.Is there a lack of new potential contestants? Why has everything been returning contestants? Did the writers and/or actors strikes somehow screw up casting? Seems like they are really stretching out avoiding new people.

Is that what's going on? I can buy that.Is there a lack of new potential contestants? Why has everything been returning contestants? Did the writers and/or actors strikes somehow screw up casting? Seems like they are really stretching out avoiding new people.
Yeah, the writer's strike screwed it up, the Jeopardy writers were picketing, Mayim refused to cross the lines, and they had to use old and unused clues. The producers didn't want new contestants using old material, so now we're at like six months of returning players. Apparently one episode had an entire category rehashed from 2003
Tomorrow. Last tournament ended today.Does anyone else wonder when we will have normal matches again?
And the questions are a lot easier...Glad we have the new contestants going again. Alison looking pretty good for a run.
