If you missed any of the games, click on the date for the recap with the Daily Doubles and a triple stumper or two. More clues from this week’s games are on Fikkle Fame’s archive.

The players had the easiest time with Tuesday’s clue and the hardest with Friday’s. For me, Thursday’s was the easiest thanks to that LBJ report I did in high school.

Anand Kandaswamy was Monday’s returning champ. He scored 2 runaway games, bringing his winnings up to $57,001. Jenny Wrigley won On Wednesday but lost to Monica Ashar on Thursday. Kara Chandler won Friday’s match. We will see her second game on Monday, November 20, after the 2-week Tournament of Champions.

No change this week in the Top 10 payouts for this season.

Here is a clip tweeted by Jeopardy! showing Kara’s chat segment with her Kara & Trebek Lego figures. It sure seemed like Alex’s hand was what she really didn’t want “lego” of. Just kidding 🙂
