Three Final Jeopardy! clues got one correct response this week. There was a decent hint in each clue, I thought but Monday’s hint eluded me. Everyone got Thursday’s clue so that was the easiest of the week for everyone but me! There were two correct responses on Friday and that as the easiest clue of the week for me.

Jeopardy! champs, week of September 19, 2022

Emmett Stanton played and won the games on Monday and Tuesday. He won all three of his games from second place. On Wednesday, Emmett finished in the lead but got FJ! wrong so it was Martha Bath who won the game from second place. On Thursday, Michael Menkhus sent Martha home and he won again on Friday. There were three $30K+ paydays this week. Michael’s $31,201 on Thursday was the largest.
