Wednesday 7/10/24 Jeopardy! Fashion Recap
Isaac Hirsch vs. Alex Pribil vs. Larry P. Wellington
Thanks for your patience while I get caught up on episodes this week!
Isaac Hirsch
Alright folks, the party is over and Business Isaac is here! This looks like the same jacket he wore on Day 1 and 3, but the whole outfit style changes with a button-down collar shirt instead of the flared collars he wore with it before.
Alex Pribil
I noticed Alex’s shiny metallic pin, but I couldn’t zoom in close enough to see it clearly. And this is the part of writing these recaps that I love the most…
When I’m trying to ID a pin, I usually start by cyber-stalking the contestant to see if there’s any specific school/company/organization they might be representing. I learned that Alex works for the University of Florida, which I immediately recognize as the Gators (I grew up slightly south of Gainesville, so that was an easy one!)
I think that shape could be a gator, but I’m not quite confident enough to post it yet. So I check out Alex’s Instagram account to find his Jeopardy headshot and see if he mentions the pin in the post or comments. No luck, but his Instagram photos are cute and I’m nostalgic for Central Florida content so I scroll through a bit. Maybe he has another picture wearing the same pin.
And there it is!! Gator pin confirmation, mission accomplished! (This tie is lovely too, I would have liked to see it on Jeopardy!)
Larry P. Wellington
I LOVE this color combo! The mint green shirt coordinates perfectly with this swirly paisley tie print. This is totally the type of tie print Ken would wear hosting, but I’ve never seen him wear a green shirt. Maybe he should try it!
Ken Jennings
Don’t forget to grab your “Jeopardy is a sport” shirts - just in time for the Summer Olympics (which don’t include Jeopardy… YET!)
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")
Superlative job on the cyberstalking — I was wildly impressed that you got the chemistry mole, too!
