What a strange week it was. Three Final Jeopardy! clues were triple stumpers and two of them occurred in runaway games. Two players got the other Final Jeopardy! clues. Monday’s and Thursday’s clue were the hardest for me. I got Monday’s wrong and had no guess for Thursday. Friday’s was the easiest. I am not a big James Bond fan either. I just knew that clue from prior Jeopardy! clues.

Michael Menkhus returned for his third game on Monday but was defeated by David Sibley. David continued winning until he met up with Cris Pannullo on Friday. David went home $78,098 richer (before taxes, of course). Cris had the top payday this week and he will return on Monday to try to build on that $29,579 he won.
