We only had 4 Jeopardy! clues during this All-Stars Tournament week and it is just impossible for me to pick the easiest or the hardest. Tuesday’s was a mix of art and geography. So being an ace in art wasn’t enough to get this clue. Wednesday’s clue was fairly simple if you knew the person the clue referred to, as one would expect from the All-Stars. It only went 2 out of 3 because Roger Craig didn’t feel the need to bet anything and went with a joke answer.
Out of the two triple stumpers that ended the week, Thursday’s was pretty easy for people who could match a novel character with a well-known poem. Friday’s had a bit of a trick to it with the winning candidate having been elected twice. There’s also some commentary on the recap indicating that some may have been confused about what they meant by “last election year.”
I’m just gonna skip the daily scores image this week and list the scores that counted towards who plays in the Finals next week with Team Brad, with the corresponding Insider video highlights.
Tue and Wed FJ scores combined: Team Ken – $40,003
Thu and Fri FJ scores combined: Team Colby – $15,099

For me Friday’s was the easiest (only difficulty was that he was elected twice, so that was somewhat of a trap). But he was a military man all his life and was elected POTUS just 7 years after WWII. How soon we forget….Among other things he appointed FIVE Supreme Court Justices Warren as Chief among them) and Alaska and Hawaii joined the Union during his administration.
