1960s AMERICA: Helping draft an executive order in 1961, Hobart Taylor Jr. almost used the word “positive”, but instead chose this alliterative phrase show

In the second week of June, there were no triple stumpers. Everyone got Tuesday’s ridiculously easy Geography clue. The other four clues were evenly divided between 1 or 2 right responses. Personally, I thought that Monday’s “repulsive” novel should have garnered at least 2 correct responses, so that leads me to nominate Friday’s 1960s clue as the hardest.

8x champ Adriana Harmeyer returned on Monday for another go at increasing her $183,100 haul. Once again, she swept the week (one taping day in J!-Time). Adriana finished as a super champ with a 12-day total of $299,000.

So Adriana racked up $115,900 this week ($400 more than she won last week). As usual, $25,000 went to the runners-up.

Here is the Emotions category from Monday’s game.
