What’s the best site to look for the questions for FJ? Jeopardy is being preempted for the midterm coverage.

I use the Jeopardy Fan site -- https://thejeopardyfan.com/

The site lists the clue, and you have to scroll down several pages before you see the question.  And the site also shows how the contestants responded, so you can tell if it was a triple miss.

There are several sites that give the FJ clue, but since you've missed the whole thing, you can see all the clues at the J! Archive; here's a direct link to this game.

Hello! 4/5 for Week 8. (It’s 4 1/2 when I choose to split hairs - my bruised ego requests it- since I did get one of the two rivers correct.)

An asterisk day!

Thanks for that since I totally blew the asterisk off, there haven't been any for a while. Got it added now though.

I assume the contest is suspended during the Teen Tournament?  But you know what Felix Unger says about assume...

Scroll back and you will see this has been answered. But to sum up, the contest continues every day there is a Jeopardy episode, regardless of who is playing, until the end of Season 35.

Look at it this way....this will probably be your best chance at a 5/5 week!

Waiting for the questions to figure how many I got. I lost track - it's been a week...

I missed the airing last Friday and didn't read the answer to this. Was it Cinco de Mayo? If so, do I get credit?

They all got it.

[Fex]

3/5 for last week

[Good Queen Jane]

3/5. Thank goodness for the Teen Tournament.

[Sharpie66]

Just got caught up. I zoomed through 7 eps by only watching the adults and fast forwarding through the tournament to get to the FJ question. For last week, I got 4/5 -missed the word “Dear” on Dear Evan Hansen. Damnit. 

[JeezumCrow]

My first 5*/5 in Week 9! Im sure the Teen tournament helped, and I am not complaining one bit. 

[SHD]

5/5!!! First perfect week I believe. 

[Trey]

3/5.  I should have gotten Friday's FJ from Mellivora but brain wasn't working on all cylinders.  I said Tasmanian Devil just to have a two-word answer.  DH said it was a wool verine.
