The notable thing about this week was strong players. That made for some good matches as well as let-downs on winning streak expectations. One champ after another went down on his or her second match!

Claudia Corriere was supposed to be the returning champ on Monday but another commitment pushed her next appearance to Jan 2016. So it would have been a new champ no matter who won Monday’s game but Liz Quesnelle was the one who prevailed. On Tuesday, Liz lost to Theresa Tejada. Chandreyi Ghosh, who scored the Payday of the Week. sent Theresa home on Wednesday and Markus Kolic won Thursday’s match. Dee Daigle took the title in the Christmas Day match.
