There was a 2, 1, 2, 1 pattern going on until Friday last week, when nobody got Final Jeopardy! right. I thought the clues on Monday and Wednesday were the easiest of the week. Friday’s clue was the most misleading and therefore the most difficult. The results certainly lend support to those opinions.

Amy Schneider had $706,800 in winnings when she showed up for Game 19 on 12/20/21. By the end of the week, she added $148,800 and finished the week as a 23x champ with a grand total of $855,600. Another week like that, and Amy will be the newest Jeopardy! millionaire. However, we wonder if Amy was showing signs of fatigue this week. It is the only week that Amy won less than $26,000 in 3 games. Whatever happens, Amy won the last game of 2021 and she will play the first game of 2022 on Monday.
