LITERARY CHARACTERS: This owner of a large estate in Derbyshire is described as “proud” at least half a dozen times show

On Monday and Thursday of this week, 2 FJ!clues produced one right. There were only 2 players left for FJ! on that Thursday clue. On Tuesday and Wednesday, 2 players got FJ! right and on Friday, we got a triple stumper when no one connected proud with “Pride”. If there was any clue in the entire week that should have been a triple solve, it was Wednesday’s African Monarchs but one player drew a blank on the name.

Josh Saak returned on Monday and won 2 more games. Matt Amodio showed up on Wednesday and took Josh and everyone else down for the rest of week. In the process of doing so, Matt racked up $101,400 and that’s a rare feat! Now, what we want to know is can he double that next week?
