Another rough week in Final Jeopardy. Although we are very gunshy when it comes to predicting 3/3 in FJ these days, one person thought the clues on Monday and Friday were sure things — me!! But that’s okay. I found some carrot cake to console myself with. (You jealous, petit lapin?)

Joe Bartolomeo was the 2x returning champ on Monday, but Blair Moorhead won that match. Colby Taylor sent Blair home on Tuesday. Zoey Orol won Wednesday’s game. Every one of these champs were at the second podium. On Thursday, that changed when Cheryl Guy won from the third podium, but the pendulum swung back to second on Friday. Eli Nehus won the last game of the week so he’ll be back for his second game on Monday.
