Premiering in '64, Jeopardy! has had all sorts of combinations of questions and contestants. Sometimes, the stars align in the most bewildering way, leaving all three contestants unable to solve a clue, a situation that is often called a triple stumper. A recent Jeopardy! episode featured quite a few in one night, with one especially intense triple stumper revolving around the Lord's Prayer. The episode, hosted by Mayim Bialik, aired June 13 and featured graduate student Joe Siebert and nonprofit fundraiser Laura Blyler facing off against five-day reigning champion Suresh Krishnan, who amassed $53,999 total winnings. On and off throughout the evening, it seemed no one would accumulate any more points, with how many questions left everyone completely bewildered. But viewers were especially passionate in their teasing when no one was able to fill in the blank regarding a famous line of prayer. God help them all. A clue about the Lord's Prayer leads to a most unholy triple stumper A question about the Lord's Prayer proved to be triple stumper / CBS Media Ventures via TV Insider Up came one particular clue that Bialik read off as, "Matthew 6:9 says, ‘Our Father, which art in heaven, be thy name." Tuesday was proving a rough night for the contestants and no one was able to correctly chime in with the right answer. Jeopardy! drew over nine million viewers in the 2021-22 season, so it's safe to say many people were watching the blasphemous moment - and many had some words to say on Twitter when no one could correctly respond "hallowed."

Masters’ Tournament For “Rigged” James Holzhauer Victory "Jeez these #Jeopardy contestants can’t solve clues about The Lord’s Prayer, Big Daddy and Elizabeth Taylor – I give up," one user mourned. Another fired off, "That’s “hallowed,” you heathens!" Yet another viewer critiqued the program as a whole, from host to questions to contestants. "Jeopardy is getting borderline unwatchable," their comment claims. "Bialik is a terrible host and the contestants don't know the answers to most of the clues on the board. Like tonight no one buzzed for a $200 clue about the opening sentence of the Lord's prayer." Survival of the fittest https://twitter.com/lndsyloves/status/1668763604181450759 The name of the game usually involves correctly solving the clues with the right answer - or in the case of Jeopardy!, with the right question. But sometimes, contestants just want to try and stay afloat when one prompt after another proves unsolvable for all three of them. Just on Tuesday, participants learned to anticipate the worst, with Siebert's score getting demolished when confronted with the Daily Double, a fate that also befell Blyler. This set the stage for Krishnan, who only stumbled with the triple stumper in the Stand-Up Comedy category. Some viewers critiqued the show as a whole / YouTube Believe it or not, though, this isn't the most egregious example of the triple stumper plaguing an evening of Jeopardy! Wednesday, June 7 had a grand total of 23 triple stumpers contestants had to contend with. This resulted in the worst final score of this season. The Wrap notes that by the end of the Double Jeopardy round, over half of the board went unanswered. One night of Jeopardy! featured over 20 triple stumpers / YouTube screenshot RELATED: ‘Jeopardy!’ Fans Upset After Spelling Mistake Ends Contestant’s Nine-Day Winning Streak
