Despite two of this week’s clues only going 1 out of 3, we voted Tuesday’s clue the hardest. The only one who missed it was the current champ because it was one of those “generation gap” things. The older players just knew the first big brand of that type of meal.

Karen Farrell returned on Monday as a 2x champ and she was a 7x champ by Friday with total winnings of $139,803. Whatever happens come Monday, she’s definitely gonna be in the next Tournament of Champions.
