This was a strange week with not one FJ! clue going above one correct answer. Even stranger– I thought Wednesday’s triple stumper was the easiest although I wasn’t alone. 5 predictions were made on that with 3 for a triple solve. Thursday got the vote for hardest at our house.

Here are the winners of the 5 quarterfinal matches:

They will be joined by 4 Wild Card winners. Ordinarily, Jeopardy! puts up a video showing the semi-finalists and the Wild Card winners. So far, they have put up this video showing Friday’s semi-finalist and 2 Wild Card winners plus what would be an “Overheard” video. The two Wild Card winners not shown are Hester Blum and Katie Reed. The match-ups for the first three games of next week could be on Jeopardy!’s site tomorrow. The winners of those matches will determine who plays the last two games on Thursday and Friday.
