It was a tough week in Final Jeopardy! We thought the easiest clue was Tuesday’s and that is the one that had the most correct responses. The rest of them had varying degrees of difficulty. Wednesday’s, for example, was very hard if you didn’t know who Pele is. Friday’s was also tough if you didn’t know which Irish poet ended his life as an outcast.

Jason Zuffranieri began the week with 16 games to his credit and $437,096 in winnings. He won the first 3 games of the week, for a total of 19 wins and $532,496. Gabe Brison-Trezise became the champ on Thursday and Laurel Lathrop defeated him on Friday.
