It was a tough week for FJ’s except for that Tuesday clue. On Friday, the challenge was to remember the name of ship that helped the Titanic passengers so at least you weren’t completely out in left field there. With the other 2 triple stumpers, you at least knew the location. Thursday’s was more specific so we had to vote Monday’s clue the hardest.

Jason Zuffranieri returned for a second game on Monday and by the end of the week, he was a 6x champ. He began the week with $26,600 in winnings and finished up a 6x winner of $137,300. That’s $110,700 for the week! Jason certainly did himself proud despite that low Thursday payout.
