There were 2 correct responses to Monday’s Final Jeopardy! clue, and that was as good as it got. There was but 1 correct response for the next 2 days. It went further downhill on the last 2 days of the week when nobody got either final clue. I think the first 2 clues of the week were easy, particularly for seniors. I can’t decide which triple stumper was the most difficult, so it’s up to you.

This week’s winners:
Mon 6/29/26 Adam Remsen $27,609
Tue 6/30/26 Richard Nguyen $20,801
Wed 7/01/26 Richard Nguyen $16,000
Thu 7/02/26 Caleb Groen $13,199
Fri 7/03/26 Caleb Groen $16,000

Returning 11-day champ Adam Remsen won Monday’s game but was defeated on Tuesday by Richard Nguyen. After winning 1 more game, Richard turned the reins over to Caleb Groen on Thursday. Caleb won again on Friday so he’ll be the returning champ on Monday.

Jeopardy! paid out $95,609 to 3 champs this week. $27,609 of that was part of Adam Remsen’s 12-day total of $306,415. The usual $25K in consolation prizes was paid out every day: $3,000 for second place and $2,000 for third place.
