“Danger!” fans are fed up with some contestants getting some “easy” questions unsuitable on a game show.
Amid recent controversy, fans flooded Twitter this week to vent their frustration after contestants Dennis Leung, Kathy Barkey and Ittai Sopher, the two-day champion, missed some questions everyone round of the show.
“Wow! What happened to the #Jeopardy people tonight?” one Twitter user thundered. “For people of this caliber, these were pretty basic questions that no person asked…”
A separate Twitter user stated that host Ken Jennings looked “annoyed that attendees asked pretty easy questions.”
One other user went wild on Monday: “Holy st! I repeat Finale #Danger The clues keep getting easier, but today takes the cake. Really easy. Nonetheless, two of the three participants either misread or misunderstood the clue and did not answer accurately. Everyone involved at @Danger ought to be ashamed.”
Together with the user’s statement, he posted Final Jeopardy! a clue that read: “In an art salon in Paris in 1865, the elder of the 2 men said, ‘If the younger one succeeded, it was because his name seems like mine.’
Just one contestant accurately guessed “Who are (Édouard) Manet and (Claude) Monet?” with the opposite two contestants spelling just one name.
“Extremely badly worded last query on #Jeopardy tonight – it seems many were confused as as to whether they were asking for one name or two,” added one other Twitter user about Monday night’s last query.
On July 6, Redfield & Wilton Strategies conducted a poll asking 1,500 people in the event that they believed in “Jeopardy!” the questions are too easy. 51% of individuals surveyed “think the questions in Jeopardy are the identical by way of difficulty/easy as they were a couple of years ago.”
This is not the primary time “Jeopardy!” fans took to social media to share their thoughts on the series. After Monday’s episode “Danger!” fans accused Ken Jennings to induce a player to put a big bet.
Despite a small hiccup on Monday’s show, Jennings received praise online because the host.
“Ken Jennings is an excellent host,” one user wrote earlier. “Mayim was nice, but he had such awkward timing. I hope Ken desires to perform full-time.
“Please make Ken your only everlasting host,” one user pleaded. “While you hosted different people after Alex died, I assumed it’d slot in well – not a lot anymore. I’m 100% team Ken.”
Nonetheless, the show has at all times lagged behind choosing Mayim Bialik together with Jennings.
“Mayim and Ken are incredibly talented and just wonderful people,” Michael Davies, the show’s executive producer, previously said. “They support the staff and one another. They love and respect this institution of the TV show. In return, I and the staff are honored to work with them.”
Before Bialik and Jennings took over, the show was hosted by Alex Trebek – whose tenure on the sport show spanned 37 seasons. After an extended battle with pancreatic cancer, the 80-year-old died in November 2020.
