The results were different for the first 4 days this week– 0, 1, 2, 3 (not in that order). The repeat result on Friday was another triple stumper, and that one was the hardest for the contestants. Thursday’s clue was the easiest.

Brian Chang returned on Monday after winning a tie-breaker that produced dramatic headlines like “‘Jeopardy!’ ends in rare tie — watch the heart-stopping way a winner was chosen” LOL!! Brian’s winning streak held up for 7 games. On Thursday, 4x champ Zach Newkirk returned and won his 5th game. Spots in the Tournament of Champions were secured for both champs. Zach won on Friday as well, so he will return to try for a 7th win on Monday.
