We don’t think anyone will disagree that this week’s hardest Final Jeopardy! clue was Thursday’s. You either knew that or you didn’t and the players didn’t. Monday’s baseball poetry clue gets our vote for the easiest.

It was another “almost” week in our search for a 4x champ. Monday’s returning champ was Adam Hoskins. He won again but that was it for him when he was defeated by Amelia Hershberger on Tuesday. Amelia went on to win 3 games. She lost on Friday to Mike Drummond.

In addition to waiting for a 4x champ, we are also waiting for the return of 2x Jeopardy champ, Claudia Corriere, who had to delay her third appearance after her December 18th victory. We’ll be looking for her in the new Howdies Monday.
