Monday’s Final Jeopardy! clue was the toughie of the week, and the only one no one got. That was followed by two clean sweeps. We only saw one solve in the last 2 games.

Shadi Peterman was the returning champ from the last week of July. She was defeated by Laura Kelsay, who kicked off the season for us with a runaway, and won on Tuesday, too. On Wednesday, Jen Sosnowski sent Laura home. Ellen Wernecke took over on Thursday and ran away with the game on Friday, for 2 runaways this week.
