This week, we ended up with the same stats as the week before: 2 triple solves and no triple stumpers, but here’s a big difference we haven’t seen in quite a while: only 2 champs the whole week. Vaughn Winchell was the returning champ on Monday and he kept winning and winning and winning and winning until Friday when Elliot Yates won.

As for the Clue of the Day, there still has been no change since December 18th on Jeopardy’s site and last week, there wasn’t even a Hometown Howdies video! Perhaps we’ll find out this week if that was a vacation thing.
