‘Jeopardy!’ lost points with fans after this ‘unnecessarily morbid’ clue’
The clue that won the game of ‘Jeopardy!’ at least cost a few points to its players.
In terms of the game show’s ‘Jeopardy!’ format, it wasn’t a huge loss. But since it was one of the answers to today’s ‘Jeopardy!’ answer, it did put the champ to a bit of a disadvantage.
That answer: “A boy who dreams of the future.”
The question was: “Where is the future you want to see?”
The answer from Chris Harris from the New York Daily News: “It’s this show. It’s on Jeopardy. It’s all about the future, the past, the present and the past.”
In the end, the answer was chosen by Bill Gates with a score of 1,001, the highest score in the show’s history.
The question “What is the purpose of man?” was answered by the winner, but the answer was chosen by the show itself.
‘Jeopardy!’ contestant Jeff Wright was more annoyed at the fact that he lost $20
The actual winner of the game took home $20,000.
And while he was happy to receive the winnings, he was also upset at losing by a mere $1.
“Honestly, I think it’s a little unwise for the world to know what’s going on” says Jeff Wright, who was eliminated after the game. “It costs a lot of money to be good at a game show that is already over the top and it may well ruin the show.”
He thinks that some sort of ‘Jeopardy!’ spin off could be created that was more of what he remembers from the show as opposed to the original format. But he doesn’t expect anything from Fox.
“They’re not going to do that. They’re going to keep making money. The more money they make the more they can spend on the format. I’m looking forward to the day where I just want to be eliminated from the show as far as I’m concerned
