"Tough game, I'm proud that I got the first 2 DDs and a few triple stumpers to boot. Congrats to Brett and Sophia for getting on the show and a nice try by them, GGs to Will."
Another fan, spmahn, commented about Brett and his performance in the game show,
"Gotta feel for Brett here, I found this to be an extraordinarily difficult game today, some of these were categories and clues I'd expect to see in the TOC or even Masters. He was also up against two strong players who were quick on the buzzer, so he was never really able to even mount an offense. Still, just making it on the stage alone is an accomplishment, you can't really feel bad for yourself."
One more fan, Aimeeheath, shared about Brett,
"This episode was kind of a tough watch live, and it was still a tough watch tonight. Sophia was the first other contestant I talked to when I arrived at the Sony Lot that day, and I spent most of the morning at a table in the green room with Will and Brett. I just wanted them all to do well! I think everyone's biggest fear was not making it to Final, so all our hearts kinda broke for Brett."
TriciaAnn16 shared about how many fans resembled Brett to Jonathan Fisher,
"I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed Brett's resemblance to Jonathan Fisher; I think it's the hair and that he's also an actor that reminds me of him."
One of the contestants from the show, Sophia Maymudes, also commented as sophslegit and shared her views,
"Hey all, Sophia here from today's game! Jeopardy isn't on in Seattle until early evening pacific, so I'll be back after that, but wanted to come on and say hi, and give a major shoutout to Will and Brett and the rest of the 9/17 crew, who all totally rock."
She continued,
"Obviously a lot could have gone better for me in this game and it's been hard to not focus on some of the tougher moments - honestly, it will be weird to watch it back and see how the rest of the game went, because I barely remember any of it! Looking at it now, though, I feel like I set myself up as best I could, managed to find the daily doubles when I wanted to, and just got unlucky that I didn't know any of them. I'm still proud of having the most correct answers in the game, though!"
