‘Jeopardy!’ Question Sparks Debate Over What’s Really the Correct Response
Written by SOURCE on January 13, 2020
Jeopardy! has been facing criticism the past few days for determining that one contestant gave an incorrect response. In the category “Where’s that Church?,” the trio of contestants were given the clue, “Built in the 300s A.D., the Church of the Nativity.”
“What is Palestine?,” contestant Katie Needle answered after buzzing in. Host Alex Trebek responded with a kindly, “No.”
People understood Katie’s confusion over being told that she was wrong.
Katie also stood by her answer on Twitter.
Despite the dispute over her answer, Katie was awarded the $200 prize after a commercial break, but there was no explanation for the change.
But hey, Jeopardy! isn’t alone in their misinterpretation of Palestine.
