This week, everyone got the Countries clue on Wednesday and that was followed by a clue no one got on Thursday. Were they the easiest and hardest clues of the week? Not necessarily, but that’s how it played out on the show. Only one player got Monday’s clue while 2 players got the invention and the history clue about WW2.

We’re in a period of broken up tournaments that will continue indefinitely. The Champions Wild Card (Hearts) tournament wrapped up with its final game on Monday 12/18. Yungsheng Wang won the tournament. He has come such a long way since the first Jeopardy game he won when he exclaimed “I never win anything!”

On Tuesday, a new tournament started and it was Second Chance, where we go straight to 3 semi-final games with 3 different former players each day. Then we have a 2-day final, only one of them is on a Friday and the other on the following Monday. The three finalists from this week’s Second Chance are Juveria Zameer, Jason Carpenter and Iris Masucci. After they wrap it up on Monday, another Second Chance group will appear.

Here is the “2020s TV” category from Wednesday’s game.
