Nick Marino, a mechanical engineer from San Francisco, California; played against Neeraj Borle, an investment firm managing director from New York; and Brandon Monsman, a bartender from Cleveland, Ohio.

The Final Jeopardy was Women of History, with all three men slammed for not getting the clue correct.

The clue for this category was: Regarding the idea of Women First, she queried, Women demand equal rights on land – why not on sea?

All three players guessed incorrectly, leaving viewers at home screaming at the television.

“None of the men getting the ‘women of history category’ right lol,” penned one person on X.

Another said: “I was screaming the jeopardy answer at those three men.”

“I get mad when it lines up that all three jeopardy contestants are men,” said a third.

A fourth then wrote: “Always hilarious when the final jeopardy category is ‘women in history‘ and not a single one of the three male contestants gets the answer right.”

HOTTIES NIGHT

But despite some viewers being annoyed over the three men playing, some were pleased by the “hotties” gracing their screens.

“Ooh la la it’s hotties night on Jeopardy,” said one.

“Neeraj is handsome,” penned another.

“3 very dapperly dressed men. So nice to see that given men usually put zero effort in dressing up…” said a third.

While a fourth wrote: “Good game and Neeraj is on my list of best dressed Jeopardy contestants; if I had one.”

And a fifth replied: “Oh yeah. I thought that blazer was either Armani or some such or more likely, custom made by a high end tailor. Fit him beautifully.”

Jeopardy! Set Secrets

Jeopardy! fans don’t see everything behind the scenes from watching on TV. These hidden set features make the show run smoothly:

Each podium has a hidden riser so that all contestants appear to be the same height.
After each clue is read, signal lights go off around the game board, indicating players can buzz in and respond.
Buzz in too early, and you’re locked out for .25 seconds.
The podiums have a small white light in the lower left corner, which tells Ken Jennings who goes next.
Contrary to popular belief, the player with control doesn’t have a buzzer advantage on the next clue.
To the game board’s left is a scoreboard so the players can see their opponents’ scores.
All contestants must bring three outfits to the studio, but only the host and returning champion change for the next episode.
There are wardrobe rules, including restrictions on busy patterns, solid white, purple (like the background), and logos.
Five episodes are taped in a single day, and sometimes more.
The categories, players (aside from the returning champion), and Final Jeopardy! for a tape day are all drawn randomly to ensure fairness.
Female contestants are asked not to wear makeup, which is applied backstage, and don’t wear mascara because of sweat.
Contestants fill out a questionnaire, and producers select five Q&A topics for the host.
Host Ken isn’t allowed to interact with the contestants until after the game.
Players can request to sit in a chair while competing without question.

The final scores from the game saw Brandon with $7,200, Neeraj with $4,400, and Nick with $3,599.

The Triple Stumper of the day was that nobody knew that the ‘sport of kings’ is horse racing.

SPINOFF AXED?

This comes after fans were left convinced that a spinoff series of the hit game show might have been axed.

Pop Culture Jeopardy!, which is hosted by Colin Jost, first hit streaming in December 2024 – but fans are already fearing it may have been axed.

At Prime Upfront, the likes of Legally Blonde spinoff Elle, Creed spinoff series Delphi, and several other exciting flicks and shows were announced.

But there was no mention of Pop Culture Jeopardy!, which left fans scrambling.

“Do you think Pop Culture Jeopardy! will be renewed for Season 2?” asked one person on Reddit.

The viewer added, “Despite the Prime upfront this evening not including Pop Culture Jeopardy!, I’m still hoping that spinoff show will be renewed for another season.”

One person said, “I hope so [that it comes back], because I want to participate.”
