This week, we got our long awaited triple solve since the last week of Season 35. The following day, the entire panel was stumped with an African history/current events clue. So there you have the easiest and the hardest.

Monday’s returning champ Erin Barry was defeated by Ed Condon. Ed had two stellar games, making $73,600! On Thursday, he ran into some bad luck and was defeated by Daryn Firicano. Daryn didn’t have the best luck in his second game either, giving him a 2-day total of $21,799. The difference was Daryn still won the game so he’ll be back on Monday to give it another go.

Nobody made the Tournament of Champions list this week.
