Reigning Champion Priscilla Ball (whose 1-day cash winnings from Friday, January 16, 2009 totalled $12,799) was set to return for episode 5611 which aired January 19, 2009. She was unable to return for that episode due to illness, so three brand new contestants played on January 19, 2009. It was decided that Priscilla would return as a co-champion at a later date. Her return was on episode 5669 which aired April 9, 2009. She won that game.
