'Jeopardy' Contestant Left Playing Solo in Bizarre Moment

"Jeopardy" had a bizarre twist when returning champion, Kristin Sausville, made it into the final round and was left without any opponents. That’s because her competitors ended up with a negative amount of dollars at the end of Double Jeopardy. #InsideEdition

You can tell that Inside Edition is not targeting the same audience as Jeopardy...

At that point, it was basically a glorified Daily Double for her, where instead of saying the answer in 5 seconds, you have 30 seconds to write the answer.

You've gotta love Alex's humor.

Somebody messed up on this episode, the questions were obviously too hard. Even the top player only won 8k so it's not like she took all the money away from the other two.

His name is Alex, not "Alek". Also, your description has cut itself off at the end.

This is not the first time this has happened; I remember same thing in 85/86 season, the returning Champion only one left for Final Jeopardy

This lamb knows Kristin personally. She is an amazing mother and a friend of lambs everywhere.

[abbysesamesfuntimes]

I've never seen this ever on jeopardy !!!

[ZakWolf]

At least she didn't wager everything like The Brain did on "Animaniacs" when he went on "Gyparody" and ended up being the only contestant left for the final round!

There was another incident like this back in October 2020 with Kevin Walsh playing solo.

[roachtoasties]

It's happened many times before. Also, all three contestants having no money has happened, requiring three new contestants for the next show.

[animemangafan]

An episode of Pinky and the Brain predicted this when the Brain was left alone to play in Final Jeopardy but lost everything if he should've listened to Pinky's correct response so they can take over the world finally. Lol

[twillacatron]

what if all contestants where in the red

[jordan.m]

This was not one of our greatest days.

[dodgeneon]

Thelma harper should have been allowed to play

[trevorpanno]

In game #4 of Doug Molitor’s run, he played Final Jeopardy! by himself and it’s on dailymotion.
