Thursday’s clue was obviously the easiest with the country and the content spelled out right there in the clue. We’d have to say Monday’s was the toughest when you had to make that character connection.

Steven Grade was Monday’s returning champ going for his 4th win. He got that and a 5th one, too. Alex Koral sent him home on Wednesday. On Thursday, James Holzhauer won in a big way and followed that up with an over $35K win on Friday.

James’ big over $40K win has been added to the Top 15 Daily Payouts of Season 35. I didn’t add the second one because I changed that list to only reflect a contestant’s highest payout. So if James snags all or even 2 DDs in a game next week, bets big and gets them right, he may yet take over the No. 1 spot.

Here are the highlights of Steven Grade’s 5 games:
