There were 3 out of 5 games this week where only 1 player got Final Jeopardy! 2 players solved FJ! in the other 2 games and there were only 2 players in one of those. I chose the Scientist clue on Tuesday as the hardest and Friday’s Toy clue as the easiest.

Tyler Rhode was Monday’s returning champ. He won Game 4 and Game 5 on Tuesday. On Wednesday, a sole solve in FJ! spelled Winner for Tony Freitas. On Thursday, Sri Kompella sent Tony home. Kate Kohn won Friday’s game with another one of those single solves. We began and ended the week with $20,000 wins, but the week’s top payday of $30,000 was earned by Sri.
