Two players got every FJ! clue this week until Friday. I thought they would all get that one, but it went the opposite way and only one player got it. Ken Jennings thought the clue was tough; however, the “talk it out” approach worked for me right away (fulfills a _____ every 34 minutes). Monday’s clue was still the easiest, imo. Wednesday’s clue was the only one I felt the need to make sure my guess was correct.

When Amy Schneider showed up for her 9th game on Monday, she had already won $295,200. Amy’s Final Jeopardy! bets were consistently bolder this week than in her past games and why not? She can certainly afford to play higher stakes now and I think we can expect to see big FJ! bets for the rest of her run. Be that as it may, with the Professors Tournament coming up on 12/6, we’re going to have to wait 2 weeks for that.

Did you know? Jeopardy! has been posting videos of Final Jeopardy! on YouTube for a while now. In case you missed it, watch Amy go over the half million mark on Friday, December 3, 2021.
