04:35Luigi de Guzman is an attorney from Arlington.
04:38Tell us about where you were when you found out you were going to be playing in the JIT.
04:41So, funnily enough, one of my neighbor's mothers is a big Jeopardy fan and bugged her daughter.
04:49Hey, isn't that guy, like, doesn't he live in your building?
04:52And so they had knocked on my door to say hello, and my neighbor's mother asked me, well, you know, I had such a good time seeing you.
05:01Are you ever going to go back?
05:02And I said, well, you know, I had such a good time.
05:05Maybe it's over.
05:06Five-game champion, Luigi.
05:07Well, you know, I don't think I'm ever coming back.
05:10And then the door closed, and five minutes later I got the text from the contestant department, so they made a liar out of me.
05:16Or they have friends in high places.
05:18We don't know.
05:19Maybe they arranged this.
05:20Either way, it's good to see you again.
05:22Amy Schneider is a writer from Oakland.
05:24Speaking of your writing, tell us about your book.
05:27It's coming out in a new edition?
05:28Yeah, that's correct.
05:30On March 4th, it's coming out, a slightly different title, Who Is Amy Schneider?
05:35And it is an adaptation of my first book for young readers, for middle grade, basically, which is really exciting because it's, you know, it's just really, you know, gratifying to be able to reach that audience.
05:48And it's, you know, also because my first book did not sell as well as I was expecting.
05:52So you need a new, younger audience.
05:55Well, it's an important time for that.
05:56And I believe you are our only repeating JIT contestant, so it's good to have you back this year.
06:00Always a pleasure to see you.
06:02Avi Gupta from Portland, Oregon.
06:04You're a law student now, but last time you were here, I guess you were a team tournament champion.

06:10Tell us what's new in your life.
06:11Yeah, you guys got me senior year of high school, senior year of college, and now second year of law school.
06:15What's it like?
06:16It's been great.
06:17I mean, look, more than halfway done now in my 2L year and really super exciting to kind of learn the tools that I'm ultimately going to hope to use.
06:24And Jeopardy's been a big part of that journey.
06:26Jeopardy fans are watching you grow up, Avi.
06:28It's good to see you here.

18:46$7,233, dropping him down to $4,367.
18:51Amy Schneider in second place with $14,200.
18:54She wrote down Faulkner and changed it to Hemingway.
18:57And it's not Hemingway either, I'm afraid.
18:59She wagered an even $10,000, knocking her down to $4,200.
19:04Luigi de Guzman had $23,600, a big lead.
19:07His response?
19:09Also Faulkner.
19:10No, this is where Scott Fitzgerald met Southern Belle Zelda.
19:15Future Zelda Fitzgerald.
19:16What did you wager, Luigi?
19:17This is important.
19:18Just $4,801, knocks you down to $18,799.
19:22And it means you're advancing to the semifinals.
19:25Congratulations.
19:28We'll see you right back here tomorrow on the Alex Trebek stage.
19:30Take care.
