This week, we started the week with a triple solve that resulted in a tie breaker. We ended the week with a triple stumper. In between, two of the other three games had two correct responses so that was pretty good. I found the clues on Tuesday and Friday the easiest. Wednesday’s was the hardest!

Emily Fiasco came back to play her fourth game on Monday. Challengers Erica Weiner-Amachi and William Chou finished the game in a tie, and after a tie breaker clue, William became the new champ. He was defeated on Tuesday by Matt Mierswa. Matt had a runaway on Wednesday but on Thursday, Emmie Trammell sent him home. Karla Fossett won Friday’s game with the week’s second runaway game. She will return on Monday to kick off the last week of Season 38.
