Today we are kicking off the first week of Season 39 Second Chance! This will cover four weeks from December 19 - January 15, which each 5-day week comprising a different set of 9 contestants. (But because we are starting on a Tuesday, each “week” runs Tuesday - Monday.)
Find the whole slate here, and I’ve published a quick visual refresher here if you’ve forgotten some of the names and faces since their original appearances.

Bear with me this week, with the kids out of school and holiday craziness I’ll likely be posting later than usual each night.
Jason Carpenter
An excellent suit and tie look for Jason tonight! I like the contrast of the light yellow with the dark navy blue suit, and I’m very happy he wore a tie.
In Jason’s first episode, he wore a blue shirt and no tie (and a mustache! I kept thinking something about him looked different tonight!)
Eva Thomas
Eva is wearing a very sharp belted blazer with peak lapels. Her green dress underneath has such an interesting neckline I wish we could see more of it! (It looks like it has Pam Mueller vibes.)
This blazer is cool and reminds me of one Mayim wore in Season 39 on 5/18/2023.
In her first appearance, Eva had glasses, a different hairstyle, and an equally cool belted outfit.
Mike Elliott
I love sweaters, but I *especially* love v-neck sweaters with a shirt and tie because you can see the shirt collar and the tie knot. I just like the way everything layers together here.
I really liked Mike’s original outfit too, he wore a tartan tie and a grey suit. (I just think he is so handsome, sorry not sorry.)
Ken Jennings
I always like getting a funny screenshot of Ken.
This purple paisley tie is one of his most worn ties (9 times total - 3x in Season 38, 4x in Season 39, and now twice in Season 40.)
Did you notice the new intro today? I forgot this was debuting for Second Chance and was excited to see the behind-the-scenes shots.
BuzzerBlog has the full intro here but I grabbed a few screenshots below.
