There hasn’t been a week like this in quite a while, with 2 back-to-back triple solves. Two people got Monday’s FJ! clue right but only one player got FJ! right in the last 2 games of the week. The first 3 clues of the week were all very easy. Success on Thursday depended on your ability to focus on the most important word in the clue. I think that made it a bit harder than Friday’s clue.

This week’s winners:

Tue 11/5/24 $35,400 Greg Jolin
Wed 11/6/24 $24,600 Greg Jolin

Greg Jolin had already won $50,002 when he returned on Monday for his 3rd game. Greg won that one and two more for a total of $135,002 and a guaranteed ticket to the Tournament of Champions. Susan Stumme and Rachel Marcus both finished their games in third place and they both won their games because they were the only ones to get the final clue right. Their bets and answers were revealed first so the other 2 players knew they lost before Susan and Rachel knew they won!

Jeopardy!’s total winnings payout for the week was $118,200 plus $25,000 in consolation prizes.

Here is the SHOE BIZ category from Friday’s game.
