On the bright side, I suppose, there was only one triple stumper in Final Jeopardy! this week. On the incredible side, there was not one clue out of the other four that produced more than one correct response. It was unavoidable on Wednesday — there was only one player left in FJ! Friday’s clue was the easiest of the week. That guy shows up a lot and York was a strong indicator that it was none other. The hardest clue was about Africa on Tuesday. Something about tusks might have helped, but only in English. The French word for tusks is “défenses”!

9x champ Mattea Roach played her 10th game on Monday. She won that game and swept the rest of the week, even though she only got FJ! right twice. She had three runaway games and a top payout of $34,000 on Friday. All told, Mattea racked up $109,279 this week and finished with a 14-day total of $320,081.

Here is the “I SEE YOU THERE!” category from Tuesday’s game.
