My kid pointed out the similarity between the names Deb, Ben, & Devin (plus Ken). Someone better at wordplay than I am can maybe make this into some kind of code.
I’m posting my recaps both here and on Twitter, unless Twitter becomes unusable for whatever reason. If you miss any, you can find the archive on the homepage.

Deb Bilodeau
This shirt is so interesting! In the thumbnail preview yesterday I couldn’t tell what the pattern was - upon closer inspection today it’s a pastel stripe design on a bluish grey background. It kind of reminds me of, like, men’s pajamas circa 1940s? In a good way!
Deb’s vibe is so casual, just look at that nonchalant lean! In that way, they remind me a bit of a less effusive Mattea (But I’m cracking up at how NOT into Ken’s jokes Deb is.)
Devin Lohman
This is such a minimalist modern look! I love to see collarless outfits like this occasionally - Andrew He wears this style very well too.
Ben Spilsbury
I can NOT decide if Ben’s shirt and sweater are navy blue or black. The sweater looks slightly darker than the shirt to me… is it a navy shirt with black sweater? These are the questions that keep me up at night.
Ken Jennings
When I was looking over Ken’s red ties yesterday, I noticed he had not worn this one yet in Season 39 - in fact, he only wore it once in Season 38, way back on 12/2/21.
I knew the Final Jeopardy answer because I spent a good amount of time last summer introducing my kids to the joy of singing Emily Dickinson poems to the tune of the Pokemon theme song. (The meter of “Hope is the thing with feathers” doesn’t quite line up as neatly as “Because I could not stop for death” though.)
