Is Final Jeopardy! getting too easy? That’s what some Jeopardy! viewers are saying after a recent episode.
Fans of Jeopardy! are expressing dissatisfaction with clues they have deemed too simple for players who are supposed to be especially challenged during the game’s final round.
A recent episode of Jeopardy! saw two contestants stumped over a Final Jeopardy! clue that viewers at home felt should have been an effortless slam dunk.
During Friday’s episode, contestants Shael Menkhus, Tamara Ghattas, and Ittai Sopher competed against each other.
When it came time for Final Jeopardy!, host Ken Jennings told the trio, “We know the last Final Jeopardy! category of the week will be Leading Ladies: Next In Line.”
“Let’s take a look at the clue: Janet Gaynor, Judy Garland, Barbra Streisand, Her,” Ken said before prompting the contestants, “30 seconds. Good luck.”

Flabbergasted viewers took to social media to express their frustration. “Whoa! What was up with the folks on #Jeopardy tonight?” one fan tweeted. “For people of that caliber, those were some pretty basic questions that no one was getting…” “It was cringeworthy. I immediately came here to see if I was just being cranky,” another viewer responded. It was cringeworthy.
