You can see What a strange week it was in Final Jeopardy! with 2 matches with less than 3 players. In our view, the easiest clue of the week was on Tuesday. For me, the hardest was on Monday. A descriptive adjective for the insect would have helped me and the players immensely!

Kevin Walsh won his 3rd game on Monday and by Wednesday, he was a 5x ToC-eligible champ with $111,301 to his credit. Kristin Hucek became the champ on Thursday by hanging on to the most money in a tough final round. The same thing happened on Friday and that made Kristin a 2x champ.

This week’s Top Payday: Kevin Walsh on Wednesday. That was also the most Kevin racked up in any of his 5 winning games.

Here is the “Word Puzzles” category that was in Thursday’s game from Jeopardy’s YouTube channel. You can see Kevin’s 5-Game Winner video.
