"Danger!" The producer defends fans of "Nightmare" Final Clue calls the "worse of all time"
"It may be one of the most evil FJ that I have seen for years," said a spectator.
For Danger! Fans, there is no greater precipitation than offering the right answer before a competitor buzzes. The famous television game, which attracts millions of viewers by episode, is considered to be the cream of Trivia Quiz cream. Danger! Team of competent writers know how to poin out the players where it hurts - and now, old Danger! Champions and fans argue that the crew has increased the difficulty of the emission too far.
In relation: "Danger!" Fans are listening to the "Masters" tournament - this is why .
May 8, candidate Allison Gross , a scientist from Cleveland, was in the running for her second consecutive victory when she incorrectly responded to the last danger! Clue, which fans of Reddit now call " One of the most evil FJ . ""
The category was "Rhyme Time: Opera version" and The index read , "Tell the story of a Duke, a buffoon and the daughter of the Bouffon, it was written by the poet Francesco Maria Piave," Per J! Archive.
Gross, who led the peloton with $ 12,400, guessed " What is Don Juan ? "Although Gross's response is incorrect, its two competitors, Ben Mills And Kelcy López Freeman , did not answer the question at all. And because Gross only bet $ 2,401, she was able to keep her place at the top of the ranking, followed by Freeman in second place with $ 7,400. AE0FCC31AE342FD3A1346EBB1F342FCB
"We describe the" Rigoletto Libretto ". The Rigoletto Opera booklet," said the host Ken Jennings Before topping Gross as an official winner.
While Danger! is known for his intelligent word game, combining the puzzle - which many have noted is already difficult in itself - with an even more delicate category, like the opera, rushed a lot of feathers. In the post-match Reddit thread, old Danger! Fields and the fans broadcast their grievances in the sudden final category of the indices.
"I am reasonably certain that if I had a nightmare on the final danger, the category of my nightmare would be rhyme: the version of the opera," wrote a person.
Another added: "One of the worst in the regular season, I would fight. I feel bad for competitors."
Gross even sounded, saying: "I thought it was horrible!"
Despite the decline of both Danger! Pros and fans, producers of the show remain next to the complexity of the index. On the Inside Jeopardy! Podcast, executive producer Michael Davies and producer Sarah Foss explain Why the index was thrown into the mixture —And informed fans and future competitors expect more questions from this caliber in the show.
"It's a difficult final, people talk about it on Reddit," said Foss in the episode, which dropped on May 13.
"We don't have a lot of WordPlay's final Jeopardy! T has a lot of word game finals, and we're going to take note," said Foss.
But even five times Danger! winner Alison Betts came to the defense of Gross on Reddit, saying that she "found this FJ super difficult!"
"I arrived at Rigoletto immediately, but I then spent the rest of the time asking myself if I missed another opera which had an internal rhyme, or whose title rhymes. I did not consider a second where I 'needed an opera title plus another word, "she said in the thread.
In relation: "Danger!" The producers explain the big flub: "Ken made a mistake."
Meanwhile, on the podcast, Davies said he was thinking "it's incredible" Danger! Incorporate a word game index "in the Opera category at the same time."
"We try to push the equipment Danger! In a larger range, "he said." Word games give us the possibility of attributing people for the capacity for thinking and puzzle / puzzle resolution, in addition to the potential factual flash card or pure factual or J! Knowledge based on archives. ""
However, in doing so, Davies added: "We are sometimes going to make mistakes with the equipment, and each time you push something, you will learn that it may not be exactly the right thing to do."
That said, the mind -boggling questions are not going, confirmed Davies.
"We are trying to push our competitors and understand how to become smarter and smarter and more intelligent people to win the game and become less predictable and less obvious in what we do," he said.
"We must continue to advance in our writing of the program. Our editors in chief Billy [Wisse] And Michelle [Fort] And all their team really pushes equipment, which, I think, is a really strong thing, "concluded Davies.
