It was a wild and weird week for Jeopardy! as superchamp Jamie Ding meets his end at the hands of Greg Shahade, a chess master and very solid champion who dominated the news cycle this week for not his gameplay but uhh...other reasons. We bid farewell to our beloved Jamie and discuss a very fun week of games as we get an anecdote flex, two Response of the Year candidates, and we dive deep on the Granny Smith apple.
