Oh Lord!
One seemingly easy answer prompt has gotten three “Jeopardy!” contestants in hot water with fans, as they didn’t accurately finish the Lord’s Prayer.
The clue that had all three contestants stumped: “Matthew 6:9 says, ‘Our Father Which Art in Heaven’ this ‘be thy name.’”
All three contestants stood awkwardly of their place, evidently not knowing the reply as host Mayim Bialik waited for considered one of them to buzz in, but only the buzzer for time rang out.
At this point in the sport, each challengers Joe Seibert and Laura Blyler Scanland were within the negative with -$200 and -$400, respectively, while eventual winner Suresh Krishnan had $1,600 within the bank.
Krishnan would end the show with $14,000, winning his sixth contest in a row, but would ultimately lose Wednesday night.
Fans of the sport show weren’t completely satisfied with the contestants, as they deemed it a simple clue.
“That’s ‘hallowed,’ you heathens!” “Jeopardy!” fan Lindsay Wilcox live-tweeted through the show.
“Hey, ‘Jeopardy’ geniuses… It’s HALLOWED. Sheesh, what a tragic world we live in,” one other person tweeted.
“How can all 3 adults who made it to be contestants on the show not know not less than the beginning of the lord’s prayer (hallowed) or Elizabeth Taylor was in National Velvet?” a 3rd tweet read alluding to a different missed answer prompt from Tuesday nights show.
I can’t consider people on Jeopardy didn’t know ‘Hallowed’ be thy name of the Lord’s Prayer. How could they’ve never heard that.”
The Biblical fail, is just not the primary time this season contestants were stumped by a clue.
June 8’s episode — which also featured Krishnan — had 23 clues left unanswered, 16 of which took place in “Double Jeopardy!”
The missed unsuitable answers led to only 33 correct ones, which was seen as the bottom of the season.
