All the clues went 2 out of 3 this week, except Thursday when only 2 players were left to play Final Jeopardy! Going by the “many possibilities, too little time” factor, we’ll say Monday’s was hardest. Friday’s was the easiest, even without a Coleridge hint.

3x champ Paul Trifiletti returned on Monday and augmented his winnings in 2 more games. By Wednesday, he was up to $106,801 and, as a 5x champ got a spot of the Tournament of Champions Tracker. But he lost to Jessica Babbitt on that day and she won the rest of the week, too. She’ll be back on Monday to try for a 4th win.
