We had two triple stumpers this week. The hardest of those two clues was “Say It in Italian” on Wednesday. I’d be molto surprised if uno out of venti people would get that! There were no triple solves, but two players got the last two clues of the week right. We picked Friday’s clue as the easiest, assuming of course, that the clue made you think of a king right away.

Jeopardy! champs, week of May 9, 2022

Giant killer, Danielle Maurer returned on Monday for her second game and won again in a game where FJ! baffled everyone. Mallory Kass emerged the victor of Tuesday’s game but she went home on Wednesday when Daniel Nguyen had the most money after another tough final. Daniel won again on Thursday and was looking good for a third win on Friday. But Daniel didn’t get Final Jeopardy! right and Ryan Long did so Ryan will be returning next Monday to try to win a second game.

Here is the TV: WHO PLAYED ‘EM? category from Friday’s game.
