We had a pretty good week with FJ’s: 2 clean sweeps and 2 clues that went 2 players. Thursday’s was the only one with one correct response but hey! there were no triple stumpers. Monday’s clue was the easiest. As if to punctuate what a trivia staple it is, the film showed up on Master Minds later in the week.

Jennifer Linde was the returning champ on Monday. She was defeated by Donesh Olyaie. Brian Chang sent Donesh home on Tuesday and won every game for the rest of the week. Brian had the top payout of the week on Friday. Jack Weller, his opponent, had the exact same amount after Final Jeopardy! That required a tiebreaker which Brian won. That meant Jack won the second prize of $2,000.
