We had no triple stumpers in FJ! this week and a triple solve in Monday’s game so that was a big improvement over last week. One player didn’t make it to FJ! in Thursday’s game but everyone who did (Amy and Patrick) got FJ! right, so we can count two games where everyone got FJ! right. Dan was the only one who was right on Tuesday. Ashley and Dmitri had the correct answers on Wednesday. In the last game of the week, Amy had the only correct response.

Amy Schneider had another week of games that she won by the end of Double Jeopardy! That means she didn’t need to play Final Jeopardy! but she tries to make some more money. That didn’t work out on two days this week when she lost a $20,000 and a $15,000 FJ! bets. She recouped those losses with bets totaling $45,000 on Thursday and Friday. Amy’s total take for this week was $194,400. Her 38-game total is $1,307,200, including the $71,000 from Thursday’s game — her highest single payday to date.
