We started this week with a triple solve and ended it with a triple stumper. In the middle was the only single solve and the others went 2/3. Some may think that Wednesday’s was the hardest but we thought it was Friday’s. After all, there were 3 “Bounty” movies and one of the players in that game did know that much but just couldn’t recall the name of the island in 30 seconds. Friday’s FJ produced 3 completely different responses!

2x champ Anneke Garcia returned on Monday and won 2 more games. Wednesday’s FJ was her undoing and John Presloid took over. John won 2 more games and will return next Monday to play his 4th game.

There were two $30K and over paydays but John’s wasn’t enough to make the Top 10 Payouts. Anneke, on the other hand, went straight to the head of the class.
