“Jeopardy!” audience jumped to Twitter this week to weigh in on how the display treated two contestant’s responses – and scored them another way – all over an episode that aired on Monday.
The questions over the display’s regulations apply a reaction from contestant Stephen Webb, who received his eighth-straight recreation on Thursday, as he took a shot at host Ken Jennings’ clue about “the corpse flower,” Newsweek reported.
“Is that the corpse blossom? What’s the corpse blossom, corpse flower?” Webb mentioned based on Jennings on Monday.
Jennings licensed the reaction however one contestant, Karen Rittenbach, didn’t get issues based on a clue about Harry Chapin’s hit music “Cats In The Cradle.”
“What’s Cat’s Cradle?” Rittenbach answered prior to Jennings mentioned “no.”
“What’s ‘Cats within the Cradle’?” she persisted.
“I’m sorry, Karen, I’d already dominated towards you by the point you corrected your self,” Jennings responded.
Lovers jumped to Twitter to deal with the 2 contestants’ responses.
The adaptation within the ruling of the 2 contestants’ responses, as echoed by means of some Twitter customers, stems from a rule that states “contestants might trade their responses so long as neither the host nor the judges have made a ruling.”
“IMO Ken is in truth actually just right at managing this within the second, if the contestant has finished their resolution (like Karen w/ Cat’s Cradle) he generally regulations briefly prior to they rephrase it,” wrote Nelson, who’s referred to as a “Jeopardy Style Gourmet.”
“However he waits longer if the solution is partly right kind and simply wishes more information.”
She added that Webb has been “fast to squeeze in more than one variations of a solution” despite the fact that it’s inside the regulations of the display.
