The final clues in the last week of 2016 proved to be a bit of challenge, except for Monday. There were only 2 players left in Final Jeopardy! that day, but they both got it right. For the rest of the week, it was either one right or nada.

Sam Scovill was the 3x returning champ on Monday, but Stephanie Schlatter dethroned him. She won 1 more match but lost to Justin Scace on Wednesday. Mukund Marthe sent Justin home on Thursday and became a 2x champ on Friday, so he will be the returning champ in the first game of the New Year. (They didn’t show Mukund’s 2-day total on Friday, so I kinda had to cobble that together)

Happy New Year again to everyone! Hope you enjoy this video from the Fantastikids. It’s terrific!
