Every single Final Jeopardy! clue this week produced one correct response so we would say they were all difficult enough to challenge the majority. Thursday’s clue, however, was fairly recent news. That was also the day that the one player who got it right should have won but didn’t.

The week began with 3x champ Joe Nguyen. He lost to Chantelle Schofield who also won on Tuesday. On Wednesday, Bala Kumar won and held on to the podium on Thursday with a little bit of luck. On Friday. Tucker Dunn was the player with the right response and the right bet. He will be the returning champ on Monday.
