Monday started off with a triple stumper and by the end of Thursday’s show, there were only 2 correct FJ! responses for the whole week! That negative average improved on Friday when everyone got FJ!

Sameer Gandhi was Monday’s returning champ, going for a third win. He lost to Eric Aiese, which made Eric very happy (but not so much the commenters who yearn for a long streak). Mason Maggio beat Eric on Tuesday and won his second game on Wednesday. Phillip Howard sent Mason home on Thursday and won again on Friday, so it will be Phillip looking for Win No. 3 on Monday.

This week’s Top Payday: Mason Maggio on Wednesday

Here is the “Lifetime Achievement Grammys” category that was in Tuesday’s game from Jeopardy’s YouTube channel.
