Like the previous game, attempts end up close to even by the end of this one, though with some gaps opening and closing along the way.
For most of the game, James holds the lead on the buzzer, but we get a sign of the late game dynamic of Pam’s run.
In all four component graphs, Pam’s late game run is clear, with the gap with James opening early in DJ and then dramatically closing. It’s apparent that the Science and Nature category is a comparative strength for Pam.
The buzz score reflects James’s overall slightly better buzzer play and Pam’s run closing the gap.
However, because Pam’s run comes so late in the game, the Daily Doubles have already been found, so the gap in actual score is larger with James having found and converted one. The margin between James and Pam remains below crush level so the Final Jeopardy wagering in a 1v1 stays pretty simple, but with only James being correct it takes him to the win and to the final.
