There were 3 triple stumper finals this week. Wow! On the plus side, everyone got FJ! on Thursday. We still think Monday’s clue was the easiest, even though one player missed it. The hardest of the stumpers was Friday’s clue, in our opinion.

Jeopardy! champs, week of May 8, 2023

8x champ Ben Chan returned on Monday and won his 9th game. Then Ben lost on Tuesday when a one-letter misstep in his FJ! response handed the game to Lynn Di Vito. Ed Petersen took the honors on Wednesday but lost to Jesse Chin on Thursday. Diandra D’Alessio held on to enough $$ in Final Jeopardy! on Friday to win the game and move over to the first podium on Monday.

Jesse won $1 more than Ben did on Monday for the week’s top payday. Diandra had the lowest.

Here is the “THAT’S ADORABLE” category from Friday’s game.
