‘Jeopardy!’ Fans Blame Writers for a ‘Disaster’ of a Category

Jeopardy! fans are blaming the writers for a category that turned into a disaster for the contestants. The players went zero for five in one of them, which resulted in low totals at the end. Kara Peruccio, from Bangor, Maine, returned for her second game on Monday, May 12. She had a one-day total of $12,400 and beat her twin who competed on the game show 12 years ago. Peruccio played against Andrew Jones, from Queens, New York, and Rachel Hall, from Washington D.C. “I have to think it was a special Mother’s Day yesterday for Maureen Peruccio, who has had not one but two of her daughters appear on Jeopardy! Twins!” host Ken Jennings said at the beginning of the episode. The game started off as a disaster as the contestants answered six of the 15 questions wrong. Peruccio, a university professor, had the lead at the first commercial break, but not by much.
