Tuesday 1/21/2025 Jeopardy! Fashion Recap
Evan Dorey vs. Jay Fisher vs. Will Yancey
Evan Dorey
a data analytics director from Toronto, ON, Canada
Evan’s grey sweater looks so soft!
Jay Fisher
a government relations manager from Lisle, IL
Jay’s jacket has a bit of texture/pattern to it. Not quite a tweed fabric but with a similar vibe.
Jay’s pin has been driving me crazy (he wore it in the quarterfinals too.) I immediately thought it looked like an American flag shaped like a tooth, but that doesn’t make ANY sense and he is not a dentist… so I have been wracking my brain to think of what else it could be. I even watched tonight’s episode on two different TVs to get a good look at it.
Then I went down a google rabbit hole, found Jay’s LinkedIn, and Y’ALL
Government Relations Manager for the Academy of General DENTISTRY
I think it’s legitimately a tooth-shaped pin like I thought!
Will Yancey
a lecturer of history from Banquete, TX
I LOVE Will’s jackets — and his sweet southern accent. (Careful listeners may realize Will’s accent is more Appalachian than Texan though - he grew up in northern Alabama.)
Tonight’s jacket is a plum color and looks like a velour or suede fabric. I think it’s the same one he wore in his Second Chance debut.
(I think I missed some of Will’s Second Chance episodes, so I don’t have all his outfits catalogued, but here are a few.)
Ken Jennings
I’m not sure if they got new cameras, new lighting, or just new camera angles, but I feel like I can see more details in Ken’s tie patterns recently - especially during the contestant anecdotes!
If you’re shopping for a gift or a souvenir of your Jeopardy! experience, I have customizable goodies in my Etsy shop!
I also have a lot of team shirts added recently for this season’s tournaments! If you are a contestant and want to request a shirt design, reach out to me by email or Etsy message.
If you’re planning to take the Anytime Test soon, 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")
