If you missed any of the games, click on the date for the recap with the Daily Doubles and a triple stumper or two. More clues from this week’s games are on Fikkle Fame’s archive.

Tuesday was the hardest FJ for the players this week. It was a triple stumper to the surprise of many, but it was an all-male panel. Perhaps superheroes replaced bedtime story memories. Dalton noted that it was the 19th game in regular play to have an all same gender game this season. The most solves came on Wednesday and Thursday but there were no triple solves.

Jon Eisenman returned on Monday for his second match and by Friday, he was a 5x champ. On Friday, he was defeated by Susan Corica, with a quick switcheroo on her FJ response. That made Jon the only champ to lose after his 5th game this season. We’ll see Jon again in the Tournament of Champions and we’ll see Susan again on Monday.

Here are some highlights from Jon’s 5 games:
