Jeopardy! might have accidentally revealed a Tournament of Champions spoiler on its website. The bonus “exhibition game” has set its players and fans think this may have spoiled results.
The exhibition game is a special, non-stakes match featuring the top contestants in the tournament. It is designed to let seeded contestants practice with the buzzer. Usually, the game takes place before the semi-finals, but this year it is after.
