“Jeopardy!” enthusiasts seem to derive just as much enjoyment from criticizing the game show as they do from watching it. The most recent incident occurred after Thursday night’s episode, during which viewers accused the contestants of failing to answer “easy” clues, resulting in a frustrating viewing experience. One of the clues posed the question, “Going straight to HEL? Then you’re on a direct flight to this northern European country.” The returning champion, Bryan, buzzed in and mistakenly answered “Helsinki,” which referred to the airport rather than the country, Finland. To the annoyance of one viewer, the other two contestants also failed to answer correctly, even after receiving the hint from Bryan. On Twitter, someone asked, “How did both of the other contestants miss ‘Finland?'” They pointed out that Bryan practically gave them the answer when he mentioned “Helsinki” instead of naming the country. Another contestant named Alicia had difficulties with her buzzer timing, causing her to buzz in after the other contestants’ introductions were made. This led a Redditor to speculate whether this was a record for the “longest time a game has gone without a contestant successfully buzzing in.” The most significant issue of the night occurred during “Final Jeopardy.” The clue asked, “Centenarian ceramic artist Beatrice Wood helped inspire one of the main characters and narrator of this 1990s film.” None of the contestants guessed the correct answer, with responses like “Ed Wood,” “Toy Story,” and “Ghost.” Host Mayim Bialik revealed that the movie referenced was “Titanic.” Frustrated fans took to social media to express their astonishment that all three contestants missed such an apparently simple question. One viewer exclaimed, “Seriously, Jeopardy, some extremely easy Final Jeopardy questions lately, and all three contestants tonight failed to guess the movie Titanic. I was screaming at the TV!” Another shared a similar sentiment, stating, “That had to be the easiest Final Jeopardy question in recent memory, and all three contestants missed it? Wow. Just wow.” Some viewers believed that the problem lay in the wording of the question. They complained that it was a poorly written clue, and suggested removing the mention of ceramics to improve it. Others humorously commented that they would have sarcastically answered “Ghost” instead. For longtime viewers, the issue extended beyond this particular episode. They felt that the show as a whole had taken a negative turn, with excessively wordy clues that confused contestants. One person expressed their frustration, saying, “I feel like the clues on #Jeopardy have become overly complicated. Contestants struggle to understand what aspect they should be responding to.” Another viewer declared, “@Jeopardy is no longer watchable. What happened? If it’s due to a writers strike, just pay them. Contestants can’t answer questions because they are structured like puzzles. The winner walks away with a measly 12 dollars. I want my half-hour back.”
