It wasn’t too bad of a week in the FJ department. The week’s easiest clue came along on Tuesday, when all 3 knew THE answer. lol It would appear that Friday’s clue was the hardest with only one solve. The funny thing is, it was the opposite for me! Tuesday’s was my hardest. Thursday and Friday were my easiest.

5x champ Courtney Shah won her 6th game on Monday and her 7th on Tuesday. On Wednesday, Courtney’s streak came to an end when she was defeated by Nikole Villanueva. On Thursday, Jen Jazwinski prevailed and she won again on Friday. Jen had the big payday of the week with $42,001, the second highest this season as far as I know. This highest was on 11/9/2020 when Ben Lewis won $44,401.
