fans are fed up that some of the show’s contestants are getting some pretty “easy” questions wrong on the game show.Amid a rash of recent controversies, fans flooded Twitter this week to blast their frustration after contestants Dennis Leung, Kathy Barkey and Ittai Sopher, two-day champion, missed several questions throughout every round of the show.“Whoa!

What was up with the folks on #Jeopardy tonight?” one Twitter user ranted. “For people of that caliber, those were some pretty basic questions that no one was getting…”A separate Twitter user claimed that host Ken Jennings looked “annoyed at the contestants fluffing some pretty easy questions.”Another user raged on Monday: “Holy s–t!

I keep saying the Final #Jeopardy clues keep getting easier, but today’s takes the cake. So easy. However, two of the three contestants either misread or misunderstood the clue and didn’t get the answer right.

Everyone involved at @Jeopardy should be ashamed.”Along with the user’s statement, he included the Final Jeopardy! clue, which read, “At the 1865 Paris art salon, the elder of these two men said ‘If the younger were successful, it would be because his name sounds like mine.’”Only one contestant correctly guessed “Who are (Édouard) Manet and (Claude) Monet?” with the other two contestants only penning one name.“Exceptionally poorly worded final question on #Jeopardy tonight—looks like many were confused about whether it was asking for one name or two,” another Twitter user added of Monday night’s last question.On July 6, Redfield & Wilton Strategies conducted a survey where they asked 1,500 people if they believe “Jeopardy!” questions are too easy.
