saber5055 March 16, 2020 Author Share March 16, 2020 Everyone has reported in; thank you all very much. This week's winners -- yes, there are two again -- are @GrannySmith and @j5cochran, both of whom dared to be different this week. I like those who do not follow the crowd. Vive la différence! And congratulations you two. Thanks for playing. See you next week. Good luck everyone. 3 Link to comment

To even be considered for a Final Jeopardy Contest Weekly Award is an honor and a privilege, so my greatest thanks to Saber5055 for this award. And to share this award with GrannySmith makes it even more specialler. So enjoy the rest of this banquet, and don't forget to tip the wait staff! 3 4 Link to comment

So don't worry when you don't hear from me and be careful out there, everyone! Edited March 20, 2020 by Good Queen Jane 2 Link to comment

saber5055 March 24, 2020 Author Share March 24, 2020 Tah DAH! Announcing the Dual Winners of Week 28 ... @lb60 and @M. Darcy. This co-award celebrates forward and backward continuums. Okay, so maybe continuum isn't the correct word but I like it so I'm using it. That, plus I appreciated their consecutive three-week scores of 4-3-2 and 2-3-4. Mirror continuums worthy of The Weekly FJ Contest Co-Award. Congratulations to both of you! Maybe you continue your continuums in Week 29. 3 2 Link to comment
