Friday 3/29/24 Jeopardy! Fashion Recap

Victoria Groce vs. Dhruv Gaur vs. Ben Ingram

It’s Day 8 of the Jeopardy Invitational Tournament! (The 8th of 9 Quarterfinal games.) Here’s the full lineup for the JIT.

---

Victoria Groce

a writer & television personality from Pittsburgh, PA

OMG I love quirky prints!! This is a cool butterfly + jungle print (and it’s amazing how clearly the details show up on screen!)

And the embellished cats-eye glasses!! (I haven’t found the source for these yet, but they’re so cool!)

Thanks to the print being so clear, I was able to reverse image search Victoria’s silk blouse

I think Victoria’s necklace is a caffeine molecule (this one I found is attached at both ends, and Victoria’s looks like it’s just dangling from the small end, but otherwise the sticky-outy parts seem to match!)

Though they both have an extensive quizzing resume (on and off TV), Victoria and her fellow Chaser Brandon are the JIT contestants with the fewest previous Jeopardy appearances (two episodes each.)

Neither of Victoria’s episodes are currently streaming on Pluto. But you may have seen her last season on The Chase!

Dhruv Gaur

a grad student from Cambridge, MA

Dhruv looks like he could be hosting the show with this suit and tie combo! Love the floral print tie.

Dhruv’s two ToC episodes are on Pluto - Season 36, Ep. 8087 & Ep. 8091

Ben Ingram

a business control specialist originally from Florence, SC

I love that Ben wears this tie every time he comes back to Jeopardy! He wore it in his first episode in Season 29, his first ToC quarterfinal in Season 31, I *think* in his first appearance in the 2019 All-Stars team tournament, and now in his first episode of the JIT.

Ben’s four ToC episodes are on Pluto.tv (Season 31, Ep. 6936, 6943, 6944, & 6945)

Ken Jennings

I’m still behind on my Ken’s Tie Spreadsheet because he’s been wearing so many new ones lately! I think this one is tiny purple flowers on a bright pink background… but honestly on screen it looks like a purple & pink leopard print so I’m pretending he was inspired by MacKenzie’s outfit the other day.

Have you checked out the new shirts on my Etsy?

JeoparDAY is TOMORROW and if you’re planning to take the Anytime Test, I have some resources for you!

Jeopardy has a Youtube Playlist with previous contestant tests from 2017-2020. I recently put some time into creating this spreadsheet to grade my answers and check my score while practicing with those videos. Feel free to make a copy and use it for yourself! There is a separate tab for each video test.

• watch the test video with the spreadsheet side-by-side

• type your answers into the spreadsheet

• when you're done, unhide the answer column

• check the boxes for correct answers

• the sheet will calculate your score (35+ is widely rumored to be "passing")
