  • A Final Jeopardy category on companies featured a clue about a sales method that undercut the consumer practices of Jim Crow, with Sears as the correct response and only one contestant getting it right.
  • Throughout the week, Daily Double decisions repeatedly flipped leads, with multiple recaps noting costly wagers that reshaped otherwise strong performances.
  • On Wednesday’s game, Kevin Kodama registered 22 correct responses, and his showing has fueled fan calls for a future Second Chance opportunity.
