The week began with two clues that stumped everyone. In the third game of the week, one person didn’t make it to FJ! but the other two both got the final right. All the players made it to the last round in the last two games but only 1 player had the right response on Thursday. On Friday, 2 players got it. We believe the easiest clue was Wednesday’s Early American History. The worst was Monday’s.
