For the first week of 2017, Friday’s clue was the easiest for the players. It was rough going until then with either none or only one correct response.

Mukund Marathe was the 2x returning champ on Monday, and he was also the only one that got FJ, but Gavin Mulligan had a runaway that he didn’t jeopardize with a big bet. So he won the match but on Tuesday, no one got FJ and Amanda Berofsky had the most left. Amanda won once more on Wednesday but Joe Bartolomeo sent her home on Thursday. He won his second match on Friday and will be trying for his third win come Monday.
