We think the FJ’s on Monday and Friday were easy-peasy. Wednesday’s was, too. One player only missed it because he got confused and named the war. There also was room for confusion over Tuesday’s clue. Apparently, a lot of people knew Thursday’s clue thanks to a 2004 Nic Cage movie “National Treasure,” but everybody who didn’t see that was on their own.

The quarter-final matches were highly competitive and we bet everyone is looking forward to the semi-final battles on the first three days of next week. Here is a tweet from Jeopardy showing the semi-finalists and Wild Card winners who will be competing in those matches:
