This week, we think the easiest Final was on Tuesday. Wednesday’s was another softball and everybody got both clues. The hardest was on Thursday. Many felt that the clue provided adequate hints to solve it but it didn’t work out that well for 2/3rds of the panel. It could be fun if they had an Imaginary Elements category someday, naming them after celebrities, like Dylanium.

12x champ James Holzhauer returned on Monday with $851,926 already in the kitty. On Tuesday, he won his 14th game and his winnings rose to $1,061,554. We may or may not see James beat Ken Jennings on number of games won, but we probably will never see someone make over a million in 14 games again!. James ran away with every game for the rest of the week. He’ll be back on Monday to see how much more he can add to the $1,275,590 he’s got now.

Check out James Holzhauer’s Jeopardy Statistics for a quick look at his FJ and DD bets in all his games.

Top 15 Daily Payouts of Season 35. As noted before, this list only reflects a contestant’s highest payout, otherwise James would be dominating that list.
