“Danger!” fans appear to have as much fun questioning the game show as watching it.
The most recent example of this got here after Thursday’s episode where viewers accused the contestants of being cannot answer “easy” directions makes it hard to look at the show.
One in all the clues was, “Going straight to HEL? Then you’ve a direct flight to this northern European country.”
Returning champion Bryan chimed in to present the answer “Helsinki”, which was fallacious – it was the name of the airport, but the clue was for the country which is Finland.
The opposite two contestants didn’t even respond after Bryan gave them a clue, which was annoying to 1 viewer.
“Excuse me how each of the other two contestants missed the call with ‘Finland? ” – asked an individual on Twitter. “Bryan practically gave them the answer when he mistakenly said ‘Helsinki’ as an alternative of naming the country.”
One other contestant, Alicia, had some trouble keeping time with the buzzer, which resulted in her failing to activate successfully until the contestants’ introductions were done, leading someone on Reddit to wonder if it was the “farthest game” record that passed without successful interjection by one competitor. “
Perhaps the biggest problem of the evening was on Final Jeopardy.
The clue read: “Centennial pottery artist Beatrice Wood helped encourage certainly one of the predominant characters and narrator of this ’90s movie.”
Players responded with “Ed Wood”, “Toy Story” and “Ghost”, respectively, but none of those videos were the right answer – host Mayim Bialik revealed that “Titanic” was the movie in query.
One fan exclaimed, “Seriously @Jeopardy, some incredibly easy Final Jeopardy questions recently and all three contestants tonight missed the Titanic movie. I used to be literally screaming at the TV!!!”
One other shared the same sentiment, writing: “This should have been the easiest Final Jeopardy query in recent memory, and all three contestants hit it? wow. just wow.
Others felt that the problem lay in the wording of the query.
“Horribly written tip,” they complained. “Erase the pottery and you will likely be effective. Such a red herring. I’d also write a sarcastic ghost.”
For some long-time viewers, the problem wasn’t just with this particular episode, but with the turn that the entire show had taken recently.
One in all those people wrote: “I feel the directions for #Jeopardy have change into too long-winded. They are sometimes so convoluted that you’ll be able to see participants having a tough time determining which part they need to answer.”
“@Jeopardy is now an unwatchable show,” one other commented. “What happened? If it is a writers’ strike, just pay them. Contestants cannot answer questions because they’re built like puzzles. The winner walks away with $12. I would like my half hour back.
