- Contestants are listed here
- This will be followed by the Tournament of Champions.
I’m posting occasionally on various social media, but this newsletter is the best place to find daily recaps, photos, and announcements.
Alex Gordon
Looks like Alex is wearing his outfit from his first episode (if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!) I actually enjoy when people wear non-collared shirts with a suit jacket, as long as the shirt is nice and it looks like an intentional outfit — which this does!
Original appearance details:
- first episode 7/6/23
- won 2 games (vs. Anji Nyquist & Carol Oppenheim, vs. Tom Zulewski & Raquel Stewart)
- lost to James Tyler (alongside Dileri Johnston)
Ed Petersen
I like Ed’s red shirt and navy tie combo! Ed sent me a comment earlier this week identifying his tie details: “I'm wearing a tie with the flag of Denmark, to reflect my last name's heritage.” Thanks, Ed!
He is also wearing his “Team Gatorade” wristband, which is an inside joke from his tape day group (which includes Ben Chan & Jesse Chin). Jesse was also wearing one in his episode this week.
Original appearance details:
- first episode 5/24/23
- won 1 game (vs. Lynn Di Vito & Joyce Sun)
- lost to Jesse Chin (alongside Megan Braught)
- won the wildcard play-in game (vs. Eric Anderson & Ilena Di Toro)
Suzanne Goldlust
Suzanne wore some amazing prints in her original episodes, and tonight’s outfit is no different! She is wearing a bright blue shirt with an incredibly fun & unique patchwork design jacket, and a very cool stone pendant.
I found Suzanne’s Julia Kim patchwork blazer on resale sites.
Original appearance details:
- first episode 6/15/23
- won 1 game (vs. Holly Hassel & Kiran MacCormick)
- lost to Ben Goldstein (alongside Erica Rapheal)
Ken Jennings
This black paisley tie is one of Ken’s newest! He wore it once earlier this season and once during the Celebrity tournament.
Team shirts are available in my Etsy for most of the 27 upcoming ToC contestants!
