If you missed any of the games, click on the date for the recap with the Daily Doubles and a triple stumper or two. More clues from this week’s games are on Fikkle Fame’s archive.

It was a pretty easy week for the FJ clues and it may look like Monday’s was the hardest, but a mistake in one word of the title is what prevented that from being a 2 out of 3. Tuesday’s clue was harder, in our view. Some folks are just not fans of that series or genre.

Jeopardy! champs for the week of January 15, 2018

Gilbert Collins returned on Monday and won two more games, becoming the first 5x champ since the ToC. Lee Quinn took over on Wednesday and won the next day, but Rachel Lindgren sent him home on Friday.

Gilbert had the top payday this week and it was big enough to knock one of Austin Rogers’ entries off the Top 10 Daily Payouts of the season. BUT– he still has 5 of the 10 spots!
