Today we bid farewell to Sarah and Paul. Paul would have been on the bubble if he doesn’t change his question but Sarah definitely will regret her miss.

Speaking of regrets, Ryan may live to regret his FJ wager. Time will tell.

Similarly, time will tell if Paul will regret second-guessing himself on his Final response. His original, stricken response would have put him in the #4 spot. A tenuous place to be, but better, for now, than elimination.

This is kinda hard because we may not do so well separating the fact the the contestants have no idea where they stand for a wild card.

I know I'd be targeting right around 15,000 in the survive and advance mode, and would want to be at 12,500 minimum. I liked Jason's all in at 9,400. I didn't think Ryan needed to go all in, but I think he needed to be at closer to 3,000 and if he figures "I need to go with 5,000". Just push it and try to double up, and know you are in.

I remember Kara Spak getting in with under 7,000, and I'm sure there are some others, but once you are under 10,000 your odds of advancing can't be all that good.

In the 10,000 to 15,000 range it gets really iffy on what you should bet in FJ. Ryans bet may leave him short.

No one's wager cost them a wild card spot, and Paul's seemingly costly cross-out ended up only keeping him from being the alternate for the semis.

Very slight nitpick, but Andy would actually be ranked above Paul, for his pre-FJ score was higher.
sup, i'm bliss.
