Funny that Shakespeare was the topic for daily Jeopardy, as well as Jeopardy Masters. I got neither correct.

[TitusWang]

Wow so Ben got double whammied here, he lost due to a one letter technicality and on his first game where someone could and did catch him. Sucks to be him right now but he had a good run.

You know who else Benedick? These judges

Mayim is such a robot. Like, maybe take a second to explain that Ben almost got it but that they couldn't accept the spelling instead of just saying "Unfortunately that's NOT correct" like you do every time someone gets FJ wrong.

[judithmoore]

I’m really looking forward to seeing how Ben will stand up against the challenge of Cris Penulla (spelling?) in the TOC. Ben makes the TOC a whole lot more interesting.

[judithmoore]

I was impressed to hear that 65 of Ken's games were runaways.

[anewt]

Jeez, Mayim is like a robot. "Incorrect. You are terminated." What a tough way to lose.

[cgonz]

I know this shouldn't be the takeaway, but Mayim's mechanical handling of this excruciating end to an amazing streak demonstrates how unfit she is to host this show.

[calebos]

Seeing people argue about how he was "robbed" is hurting my brain. Don't argue a ruling if you don't know the rules. Sure he was one letter off, but because it changed the pronunciation it was wrong. And it's not like he misspelled the word either. He wrote what he thought it was (Benedict) and it was not correct.

Got this one cause I’m doing Shakespeare rn in school

[mr.timetraveler]

I like how one of the questions asked about The Faerie Queene, only for the Final Jeopardy category to be about Shakespeare! 😂

[mr.timetraveler]

The one time Ben ends Double Jeopardy not in a runaway is the game he loses! 😭 The one game Mayim notes Ben's 9 runaways is when he doesn't achieve runaway status. 😕

[ericbnielsen]

I got this one right but “Much Ado About Nothing” is my favorite Shakespeare play. I watch the Keven Branagh movie at least once a year. I haven’t tried out for Jeopardy because I’m a afraid that my bad spelling would cost me in Final Jeopardy.

[lady_g]

Sigh, so heartbroken about Ben's loss.

[lashendawest]

Congratulations lynn for being a new champion on jeopardy

[anewman]

It's not the same 1 letter mistake. Benedic would have been accepted but not one that changes the whole sound

[lashendawest]

Congratulations ben for winning over $250, 000 and will see ben in the tournament of champions 🏆 this fall 2023

[kennygrify]

I was so sad that Ben lost and the game where he doesn't have a runaway, he changed the letter of the title of what would have been the correct response and I was kind of hoping for Ben to keep his run going longer and Ben will be back in the Tournament of Champions in the fall.

[abbabeththehamster]

My grandmother knows Lynn personally. They worked together on some sort of committee years ago and are still in touch. I found this out just today when I was at Grandma's house and she told me. 🙂
