Just like last week, this week started out with a triple solve. We saw 2 out of 3 solves in the next 3 games and on Friday, only one player was correct. Friday’s FJ was the hardest with nothing to narrow it down by nationality or gender, if you ask us (which you didn’t but we told you anyhow).
Graham Fulton III returned on Monday but lost his 2nd game to Charbel Barakat. Richard Koehler won on Christmas Day but was knocked out on Boxing Day by Jon Barber. Kathryn Kienholz took over on Thursday but James Rodrigues won the last game of the week. Charbel had the top payout and the only one over $30K.
Top 10 $25K+ Winners (Season 35): Charbel’s $30,700 gave him the No. 9 spot on this list.
- $38,200 – Mary Ann Borer 11/5/18

Here is “The American Revolution” category from the Christmas Eve game:
Mon the easiest, Fri the hardest. Overall rather easy FJ clues with the Fri exception.
Easy week, except for Fri for the reasons already pointed out. Thu was almost a 3 correct, just 2 letters shy…..Wed should have been a sweep, yet….Tue was the second toughest imo, still 2 correct! All in all not one of the hardest weeks in FJ. A few softballs around Christmas😉
