I’m posting occasionally on various social media, but this newsletter is the best place to find daily recaps, photos, and announcements.
Kate Campolieta
Lovely green sweater, but the star of the show is the space shuttle earrings! She even mentioned them during her anecdote.
You can find Kate’s beaded earrings on Etsy here
Original appearance details:
- first episode 7/4/23
- won 1 game (vs. Elliott Kim & Chuck Beem)
- lost to Anji Nyquist (alongside Aubrey Gilleran)
Mira Hayward
I just think Mira is the cutest. She wore solid colors in her original episodes, but chose a fantastic light blue and black print blouse for her return.
It looks like it might be this top from Zara.
Original appearance details:
- first episode 2/9/23
- won 2 games (vs. Dan Wohl & Scott Perry, vs. Myles Karp & Libby Hsu)
- lost to Kendra Westerhaus (alongside Jeff Paine)
Jesse Chin
Jesse STUNS in a three-piece suit and glasses, very fancy! He mentioned on Reddit that he had to borrow this tie from the Jeopardy wardrobe dept. because his original tie didn’t work on camera. It looks like the type of tie Ken would wear hosting, though as far as I know he hasn’t worn this one yet.
Original appearance details:
- first episode 5/25/23
- won 1 game (vs. Ed Petersen & Megan Braught)
- lost to Diandra D’Alessio (alongside Alice Ciciora)
Ken Jennings
Ken has a LOT of blue dotted ties to rotate through, so he doesn’t wear many of them more than a couple times per season. He wore this one twice last season and this is the 2nd time this season.
What does Jesse's bracelet say?
Lily, remember this on February 5-22. The camera got really tired, because they moved it slowly by keeping it up. I don't know what's happening, they probably changed a new camera angle or returning to season 38.
