Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
Knockout Game #26 features Queens Finest, Titanic Trio, and Equizabeth Moss.
I saw a complaint on Reddit this past week where a viewer was complaining about how trivia teams across the continent were more creative than some of the teams competing on Pop Culture Jeopardy with ther team names and their outfits. And I would like to say that I believe this viewer could not have been more wrong with their assessment. Trivia teams across the continent come up with team names like Otrivia Rodrigo and Equizabeth Moss, thinking they’re funny, but—again, speaking from a professional perspective as someone who hosted pub quizzes from 2008 through 2016—those team names are used over and over again by teams all over the continent, ad infinitum and ad nauseam. (Though, a decade ago, the Olivia being utilized was still Olivia Newton-John.)

“Any PR is good PR—as long as they spell your name right.” And, in this case, their name was 100% wrong. The famous “coffee cup” gaffe from Game of Thrones in 2019, where fans—and some publications, including Entertainment Weekly—mistakenly assumed the cup belonged to Starbucks, actually belonged to Established Coffee, an independent coffee shop in Belfast. This likely cost Established Coffee millions in free advertising.
And it just goes to show that random fans on the Internet really shouldn’t be used as authoritative sources for anything by tabloids.

Game Recap & Tonight’s Game Stats:
Here’s the recap for Season 1, Episode 26:
Jeopardy! Round:
(Categories: Wags; In The Black; Chickens!; Heard It In A Commercial; Not Me, Not Herminone, You…; Ride The Movies!)
I can’t believe I have to sit through an entire category about J.K. Rowling’s works in the year of our Lord 2025. And of course our players went to it first. And then, a team left 600 on the table on a clue 2 Daily Double; I think Colin shared in my disappointment about that bet. Equizabeth Moss led on the strength of 9 correct responses, with scores Equizabeth Moss 5,200 Queens Finest 1,400 Titanic Trio 1,200.
Statistics at the first break (15 clues):
Equizabeth Moss 9 correct 0 incorrect
Queens Finest 3 correct 1 incorrect
Titanic Trio 2 correct 0 incorrect
Today’s interviews:
Equizabeth Moss are tied together by Andy having bonded with Rebekah over Mad Men and meeting Anthony at an Alamo Drafthouse.
Titanic Trio are three members of a pub quiz team named “Titanic String Quartet”—they usually sink at the end of a game.
Queens Finest has one member—Scott—who apparently went to high school with Colin Jost.
While Queens Finest had a strong second half of the round, Equizabeth Moss continued to lead.
Statistics after the Jeopardy round:
Equizabeth Moss 15 correct 1 incorrect
Queens Finest 11 correct 2 incorrect
Titanic Trio 4 correct 0 incorrect
Scores after the Jeopardy! Round:
Equizabeth Moss 7,400
Queens Finest 6,400
Titanic Trio 2,000
Double Jeopardy! Round:
(Categories: Doctor, Who?; Lil Rappers; The Golden Globes; Bummer Movie Endings; Feelings; Whoa, Whoa, Whoa)
Queens Finest found both Daily Doubles, picked up 13 correct in the round, and led going into Final by just 600—ironically, the amount that Equizabeth Moss inexplicably left on the table on the first Daily Double.
Statistics after Double Jeopardy:
Queens Finest 24 correct 3 incorrect
Equizabeth Moss 24 correct 1 incorrect
Titanic Trio 8 correct 0 incorrect
Scores going into Final:
Queens Finest 19,200
Equizabeth Moss 18,600
Titanic Trio 5,200
Titanic Trio was the only team correct in Final—but Equizabeth Moss went for the small bet to keep Titanic Trio out of play, and Equizbeth Moss moves on to the next round.
Tonight’s results:
Titanic Trio 5,200 + 5,199 = 10,399 (What is game of thrones)
Equizabeth Moss 18,600 – 5,000 = 13,600 (What is Derry Girls?) (Quarter-Finalist)
Queens Finest 19,200 – 19,000 = 200 (What is Derry Girls)
Other Miscellaneous Game Statistics:
Daily Double locations:
1) RIDE THE MOVIES! 800 (clue #2)
Equizabeth Moss 400 +400 (Queens Finest 0 Titanic Trio 0)
2) BUMMER MOVIE ENDINGS 1600 (clue #11)

Equizabeth Moss: I would bet between 1,201 and 8,199 to keep Titanic Trio locked out. (Actual bet: 5,000)
