Wednesday’s FJ clue got our vote for the week’s easiest, although everyone knew the Canada one on Tuesday. A plural word knocked it down to 2 correct. On Friday, there might have been one solve if a shorter response was considered.

Jeopardy! champs for the week of December 25, 2017

We saw a new champ every day this week. On Monday, returning champ Donna Brown lost to Natalie Ballas. Ami Li took the title on Tuesday and Kevin Foley sent Ami home on Wednesday. Travis Rojakovick was Thursday’s champ. On Friday, Henry Ayoola won the last game of 2017. He gets to play the first game of 2018.

Travis had the top payday this week, but last week’s Top 10 Daily Payouts list remains the same because $29,300 is the number to beat to get on it now.

May you all remember the highlights of 2017 fondly and enjoy yourselves on New Year’s Eve as you usher in 2018, and hopefully, we’ll see you back here on New Year’s Day.
