Andy’s thoughts before the game:

Episode 3 features 9 players, all of whom are graduates of the main series – and Colin certainly leaned on that fact in the opening statement! And what shows how closely the alumni community works together: The Esprit Top 3 (the three finalists of a past college championship) were the only ones who had played against each other in the past.

Game review and today’s game statistics:

Here is the recap of Season 1, Episode 3:

Danger! Round:

(Categories: We’re Going To Broadway!; Finish The Rap Lyric; My Movie With Meryl Streep; Tiktok; On The Clock; But The Party Don’t Stop)

Much to Colin’s chagrin, Esprit Top 3 were keen to compete in the rap category, while Personality Hires showed they were hungry for victory by picking up a reference to Suzi Vidal’s OnlyPans TikTok videos. After 15 clues, the results were: Personality Hires 4,600, Esprit Top 3 3,200, Punny Goddesses 1,000.

First break stats (15 clues):

Personality sets 8 correct, 1 incorrect
Esprit Top 3 4 correct 0 incorrect
Punny Goddesses 2 correct 0 incorrect

Today’s interviews:

Punny Goddesses named themselves after the Parks & Rec group.
Personality starters are all people who lost the first time on the regular show.
Esprit Top 3 were three finalists in one J! College Championship.

Immediately after the break, the Personality Hires picked up another 3,000 points in the Daily Double. From there, they ended up with 19 correct answers (including 2 on Triple Play) and led by 13,000 after 30 clues.

Statistics after Jeopardy round:

Personality sets 19 correct, 2 incorrect
Esprit Top 3 5 correct 1 incorrect
Punny Goddesses 6 correct, 1 incorrect

Results after Jeopardy! Round:

Personality is hiring 13,000 employees
Esprit Top 3 3,200
Punny Goddesses 1,600

Double danger! Round:

(Categories: Haute Dogs; History on TV; Fashion Collaborations; 3 Letter Answers; Fictional Brands; Numeric Text)

The Punny Goddesses had their chance, but a missed True Daily Double left them at zero. Two clues later, the Personality Hires found DD3, collected 3,200, and went from there to a dominant outlier, getting a total of 33 correct answers.

Statistics according to Double Jeopardy:

Personality sets 33 correct, 3 incorrect
Esprit Top 3 12 correct 3 incorrect
Punny Goddesses 14 correct, 3 incorrect

Results before the final:

Personality is hiring 30,600 employees
Esprit Top 3 10,800
Punny Goddesses 4,800

This was a triple stumper; The Personality Hires move forward with the power of their outlier.

The results tonight:

Punny Goddesses 4,800 – 0 = 4,800 (Who is Jerry Lewis?)
Esprit Top 3 10,800 – 10,800 = 0 (Who is Shyamalan?)
Personality sets 30,600 – 139 = 30,461 (Who is Clooney?) (quarterfinal game)


Personality Hires, today's winners of Pop Culture Jeopardy (for Episode 3).
