If you missed any of the games, click on the date for the recap with the Daily Doubles and a triple stumper or two. More clues from this week’s games are on Fikkle Fame’s archive.

The week began with 2 triple stumpers. Then everyone got FJ, everyone left that is, because it was one player short. Only one player got FJ on the last 2 matches. Monday’s clue had to be the toughie of the month– nevermind the week. That’s an awful lot to write down unless you just know it. Just look at the rest of the week. One or two words responses. Maybe surnames would have worked with the people answers.

Neil Uspal was Monday’s returning champ. He lost to Sean Harrington. On Tuesday, Loren Lee Chen ran away with the game. He repeated his runaway ways on Wednesday but on Thursday, Christy Karras was the one with the runaway and the only right FJ response. She scored the biggest single payday of the week. On Friday, Lisa Schlitt took the title with the lone correct FJ.
