We had two triple stumpers this week. The hardest was most likely Wednesday’s. You had to have a little deeper knowledge about this time period in French history, assuming you realized it had to do with French history to begin with. Two players realized that, at any rate. The other TS was American geography. I knew the lake but not the city the FJ! clue called for. Well, I’m not likely to forget it for a while now for whatever good that does me. Only two players made it to Final Jeopardy! in Tuesday’s game but they both got the final clue right.

Jeopardy! champs, week of February 14, 2022

Dave Rapp was the returning champ on Monday. He won 2 more games and we had high hopes that he would beat the 3-game curse, but Charles Fogelman defeated Dave on Wednesday on one of the triple stumper days. Charles lost on Thursday to Matt Takimoto. Carter Lockwood sent Matt home on Friday.

Here is the “BOOKS BY FUNNY PEOPLE” category from Friday’s game.
