We began the week with everyone getting the right response in Final Jeopardy! It went the other way completely the next day and another triple stumper came up on Thursday. 2 players got Wednesday’s geography but only one got Friday’s playwright. I’ll say this much for this week’s crop: I only had to read two of them twice to figure out what they were looking for.

Kate Kohn returned on Monday for a second game but she lost to Dane Reighard. Dane won again on Tuesday. Andrew He sent Dane home on Wednesday. Andrew also had the top payday of the week on Wednesday with that $52,001. By Friday, Andrew had raked in $107,101. We’ll be seeing him go for a fourth win next Monday.

Here is the $1,000 row of clues from Thursday’s game, including Ken’s intro where he says that Andrew pulled off a James Holzhauer-like Daily Double in the previous game. Opening the game by getting five $1,000 clues right is also reminiscent of Jeopardy James, wouldn’t you say?
