Fans think Jeopardy! host Ken Jennings jinxed eight-day champion Chris D’Angelo during his ninth game. They also praised the contestants for a “fantastic” game.
D’Angelo, a content manager from Washington, D.C., entered his ninth game on June 1 with a total of $194,201. On Monday, he played against Peter McFerrin, from Corona, California, and Camryn Bell, from Minnetonka, Minnesota. Warning: Spoilers for the June 1 episode of Jeopardy! ahead!
