Davies said Danger! "made a horrible mistake."
During March 13 Episode of the Inside Jeopardy! Podcast, Davies addressed the error, issuing a mea culpa in the name of production.
"From the start, the apology to the whole public," said Davies. "We totally blow it up at the top of the show. We made a horrible mistake, where we revealed the final scores at the end in the opening cup during the Mayim monologue."
The executive producer said that the Flub was due to a "series of errors", as opposed to a single skid. "It is somehow remarkable that they all happened," he said.
The producers said they had to re-film on the opening monologue.
Davies explained that the mixture had started due to the decision to produce "picking up" or re-rehiot, the monologue of Bialik. "[It was] probably the right decision, although neither Sarah [foss], and I do not remember exactly what was wrong with the monologue, why we picked him up," he declared.
According to Davies, there are several different reasons for which production can do so with monologues.
"Sometimes there is an incorrect fact, sometimes there is just a performance problem, so we collect it at the end of the show," he said, adding that there is also a shooting competitors during the monologue.
"Of course, this should be a standard procedure - and it is supposed to be a standard procedure - that we put the scores in the podiums at the original level, but that has not happened," noted Davies.
The executive producer added that the error was not taken in post-production or during the final quality control procedures, stressing that there are "so many elements" which should have caught the error.

"We live and learn, and we apologize for anyone whose experience in this program has been ruined," said Davies. "We take these errors to heart so hard-the self-panging that occurs in the management team and the post-team and all the people involved. This is a good thing Danger! , we really take mistakes, really seriously. ""
Davies also stressed that production is trying to improve the transparency of faux pas when they inevitably occur, addressing publicly on social networks and on Inside Jeopardy! podcast.
He shared that the Danger! The team makes more episodes, with future tournaments and spin-offs like Celebrity Danger! And Danger! Mastery , which exerts pressure on staff - who are already working for more hours - and can cause errors.
However, he reiterated that there is "no excuse" for the error during the school's reunion tournament. "It was too basic, we will do everything we can to make sure that this will not happen again," said Davies.
