Game 7
Andrew He
LOVE the colors of this tie, AND I got to do some sleuthing about it which is always one of my favorite parts of writing these recaps.
On the May 1st episode of the Inside Jeopardy! podcast (around 7:41), Buzzy Cohen mentioned
“In honor of us taping the rest of Masters tomorrow, I actually wore a tie that one of our contestants also wore during those first couple Masters shows that taped… Try to guess which tie I’m wearing today on the pod.”
When Buzzy said this, I immediately remembered Andrew’s striped tie from a preview clip but was not sure in which episode he would wear it, so I was excited to finally see it tonight!
And of course, I wouldn’t be an amateur google stalker without screenshots - on the left is Andrew in tonight’s game and on the right is an Instagram post from Buzzy on March 8th.
Andrew also gave me a tip on the source - it’s a silk tie from Paul Smith.
Sam Buttrey
Sam has a great tie collection, and I think his large-scale floral ties (like this and his tie from Game 1) look great on TV! He wore this one in his quarterfinal game of the 2022 ToC (I remember accosting him in the audience later at taping to get a closer look at it).
(If I find the source, I’ll post it here later!)
Amy Schneider
I saw this on a preview clip and fell in LOVE with Amy's dress for tonight! (I'm slightly surprised the zigzag pattern didn't mess with the camera at all!)
I wasn’t sure I could find this without a tip, but a bit of searching got me to this Komarov dress which seems to match! (They have a lot of other nice prints too.)
Game 8
James Holzhauer
Not much to say about James’ blue sweater (“and you look… amazingly comfortable…”) I don't have a full collection of photos from James' original run so I'm not sure if he wore this previously, but I assume so!
Mattea Roach
I believe Mattea Roach wore this caramel-colored suit (with a white shirt) to the Jeopardy Honors ceremony last year, but I think this is the first time they've worn it in a game. And the Scorpio earrings (from ISLY) are back!
Matt Amodio
Uh oh, Matt Amodio is wearing tan tonight... I know Matt’s a statistics guy and one game isn’t a large enough sample size, but if you watched his original run you'll note that he lost the first time he wore earth tones! Let's test the correlation tonight ;)
Ken Jennings
I just like Ken’s pose here. He’s worn this paisley tie a few times!
See you Monday for more Masters!
