It was an unusual week with only two players making it to FJ in two games. Of the three games where everyone made it to FJ, Tuesday’s was the only triple solve. Perhaps we can say that Monday’s was the hardest since the mention of the seasons threw both players completely off the trail.

3x champ John Presloid returned on Monday and won another game. He didn’t get his 5th game on Tuesday when Haley Zapal prevailed. On Wednesday, Rachel Paterno-Mahler sent Haley home. Aaron Lichtig won on Thursday and Steven Oppenheim (aka Steve-O) won Friday’s game with the top payday of the week, and the only correct response to FJ.

Steve-O’s $33,201 win made the Top 10 Payouts at No. 6.

1. $39,995 – Anneke Garcia 1/15/19
