Farewell, Season 38
With Season 39 starting tomorrow, I need to start a new weekly collage thread, but I didn’t want to lose the Season 38 collection in my sea of old tweets. So I’m archiving them here for future reference (But first, a bit of rambling!)
Season 38 of Jeopardy! was a season of superchamps and second chances. Some have called it “the most attractive season of Jeopardy! on record.” Some have called it “the most dramatic season ever”, no, wait, that was The Bachelor, sorry. However you categorize it, this season was one to remember.
Jeopardy!, a show known for its consistency and stability, went through… let’s say “a bit of a rough patch” last year. An awkward phase. Basically 2021 was Jeopardy!’s middle school era but they’ve blossomed (ha! accidental Mayim Bialik reference). Hm, given Jeopardy!’s age, maybe more of a mid-life crisis? A messy divorce from some guy whose name rhymes with Rike Michards? Plenty of metaphors to choose from.
The point is, if you had fallen asleep during the guest host drama and Rip-Van-Winkled your way through Season 38 and just woke up mid-2022, you might have been surprised at how adeptly Michael Davies (and all the phenomenal Jeopardy! staff & contestants!) righted the ship (ok, we’re doing sailing metaphors now). I know I overuse the word “iconic” but I think Season 38 deserves it.
So, here is my full collection of contestant collages from all 46 regular-season weeks of Season 38. Scroll through and bask in the Matts, the quarter zips, the pocket squares, and the absolute joy (and hotness) of Season 38.
(I’m putting a subscribe button here but I have no idea if or when I will actually write things. I mostly just wanted to archive all my collages in one place.)
