What a tough week for FJ’s. Only one correct answer for the first three days of the week and none on the last two. I believe most would agree that Thursday’s FJ! about “Rivers” was the week’s hardest. None of the others were particularly difficult for me, but Tuesday’s “Colors & History” was the one I had to give the least amount of thought to.

Austin Weiss returned on Monday and lost his second game to Courtney Shah. Courtney won every game for the rest of the week. She was the only one to get FJ! in the three games where anyone got it. Her best payout was on Tuesday. By Friday, she had a 5-day total of $79,258.
