The three contestants wrote their answers to ‘U.S National Parks. Much of this 73-square-mile National Park is located beneath the Chihuahuan Desert.’

But it was a finish that left fans wanting to “walk off the set” as they revealed their answers.

As host Ken Jennings asked them for their responses, one of the contestants wrote down, “What is Arches?”

It was the wrong answer, leading his $12,000 dollars to plummet to just $2.

Next up, the contestant in the middle went for the answer of, “What is Carlsbad?”

Again, it was a wrong answer and so her $13,600 went down to $600.

Finally, the last player revealed his answer, which was, “What is Carlsbad Cavrans?”

But he made a small mistake, in what fans have called an unfair show rule.

Ken said caverns with an ‘er’ they would’ve taken, because the answer was Carlsbad Caverns.

As a result, his money went from $13,600 to $0.

As he lost everything, the female contestant who had $600 ended up being the Jeopardy! champion.

She looked delighted, if not a little in disbelief, and fans were gobsmacked by the result.

Jeopardy! Set Secrets

Jeopardy! fans don’t see everything behind the scenes from watching on TV. These hidden set features make the show run smoothly:

One person wrote on X, “I simply would have to walk off the stage.”

Others called it the “most painful final” they’d ever seen on the show, and someone else wrote, “Really fun, close game, but man that final Jeopardy was an absolutely brutal way to lose. You’ve got to feel bad for Jacob.”

Someone else commented, “Oh my god. What a brutal ending,” and another penned, “Oh my god. What a brutal ending.”

The brutal ending comes after a Jeopardy! contestant in the UK made history after scooping one of the daytime show’s biggest ever wins.

In May, viewers watched as hotel receptionist Ben Jones continued the game, competing against Jonathan and Rosemary.

From Caerphilly, Ben was already a nine-day reigning champion before his major win.

In the final round, host Stephen asked a question based on the category Classic 80s Films.

He said, “Matthew Broderick starred in the title role of the 1980s comedy film ‘Ferris Bueller’s Day Off’, directed by this man
