After Ken Jennings Clears Air Over Controversial Jeopardy Answer, Fans Are Calling The Show Out For An Inaccurate Clue: 'So Easy To Fact Check'
Hello Viewers, Welcome Back to SSN24!
In today's segment, we dive into the latest controversies surrounding Jeopardy!, hosted by Ken Jennings. This season has been anything but smooth sailing for the show and its fans.
First up, fans were outraged over a ruling against contestant Kelly Proulx on the July 3 episode. Kelly's response, "What is Bridalveil Falls?" was deemed incorrect due to the use of the plural form. Viewers took to social media to express their frustration, calling the ruling "pedantic" and "disgusting." Ken Jennings addressed the controversy on the Inside Jeopardy! podcast, explaining that the game's outcome wasn't affected by this ruling since all contestants missed the Final Jeopardy! clue.
But that wasn’t the only incident riling up fans. On July 1, a "Rhyme Time" clue described "A kayak inspection" as "A canoe review," which led to an uproar on Reddit. Fans pointed out that kayaks and canoes are different, criticizing the clue for being inaccurate.
If that wasn’t enough, the July 9 episode saw an unprecedented number of scoring changes. Ken Jennings had to announce multiple corrections, altering the game’s scores dramatically. Viewers were shocked, with many commenting on how chaotic the episode felt.
Jeopardy! fans are never shy about pointing out mistakes, and these recent controversies have only fueled the conversation. Despite the challenges, Ken Jennings continues to address these issues head-on.
