Jeopardy! fans were shocked at a recent contestants appalling answer to a clue about womens anatomy.
During Wednesdays episode, Drew Wheeler completely bombed a particular Jeopardy! question, which many are addressing on Reddit given his answer. Throughout the show Drew was on a roll, leaving the first round with $3.5K. All seemed to be well until he had to answer a clue about biology in the Double Jeopardy! Round. While the answer to the clue was, The uterus does not come and go with the tides, Drew said something opposite of that.
Drews response was problematic to many viewers who watched at home.

Jeopardy! fans furious as ‘distracting’ clue gives the answer away and spoils the game
One Redditor commented, I audibly groaned after Drew’s answer. It said temporary, Drew! Temporary! The uterus does not come and go with the tides! Another joked, Ugh, I wish the uterus was a temporary organ.
Drews blunder somewhat affected his score. Going into Final Jeopardy! Drew had $6.3K, and his opponents Kevin Laskwoski and Julia Chan had $6,800 and $8,600 respectively. Unfortunately, Drew did win Wednesdays Jeopardy! episode. His competitor Kevin won Final Jeopardy!, as well as Final Jeopardy! Although Drew answered the Final Jeopardy! question correctly, he still fell short compared to reigning Jeopardy! champion Kevin.
Since Drew waged $2,400, he was able to add his wager onto his score, enabling him to take home $8,700. Kevin waged $6,799, raising his score to $13,599. Pulling third was Julia, who actually lost a chunk of her earnings because she answered the Final Jeopardy! clue incorrectly. Julia waged $5,001, and lost it, which took her down to $3,599.
Jeopardy! contestants oftentimes spark a reaction among fans with their answers, like when Kevin failed to answer a particular clue.
In the category ‘Quoting the King James Bible’ Kevin failed to guess two of the clues despite dedicating his career to the religion as an Episcopal priest from Falls Church. For $800 players were asked: “Why beholdest thou” this 4-letter thing “that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?” And after being met with crickets from the trio, Ken Jennings revealed the correct answer: “the mote.”
Jeopardy viewers began questioning his career title when he fumbled the two clues. On Reddit, one viewer wrote: “Getting a chuckle that Kevin got a Jennifers body clue Monday – but didnt bite on two of the Bible clues today.” To which another fan replied: “I am not a religious person at all, and I got the last 2 Bible questions. I was shocked that he didn’t.”
