Final Jeopardy results this week were worse than last week! Tuesday’s clue was the easiest and everyone got it. I thought Monday’s clue was the week’s toughest, although to be fair, the rebirth hint was good. The last 3 clue of the week were all triple stumpers. Wednesday’s clue required more than a superficial knowledge of Seafaring Brits. I really don’t know what to say about the Landmark clue. At least the right location came up in the responses. Ironically, on Friday, although the clue specified “Nation”, we got some kingdoms and a couple of constituent countries.

Josh Weikert started the week as a 1-day champ who won $23,601. By Friday, he was a 6-day champ with total winnings of $100,202. You can see from the daily figures above that he had a couple of close calls. But his last 2 games were runaways. That’s what the (R) stands for.
