It feels like 2021 was defined only by Jeopardy! updates. It was a time of many different guest hosts and many different controversies. After months of speculation, debate, and intrigue, it was announced that Ken Jennings and Mayim Bialik would be hosting the show in tandem.
However, Mayim left lots of fans up in arms last week after changing terminology and trying to make the phrase "single Jeopardy!" happen.
To be fair, when you've been watching a show since 1964, you're allowed to have an opinion or two about it. Lord knows I have lots of opinions on things I shouldn't have any opinions on.
Mayim has been ending the first half of the show before commercial breaks by saying: "That brings us to the end of a very back-and-forth Single Jeopardy! round. Double Jeopardy! is up after this."
"They have taken so much away from the wonderful program. With [years] worth of trying to find a host, this woman comes in and tries to change things around. You should have kept Ken [Jennings] and not this no it all woman. I no longer watch and this is just the latest reason why," tweeted one viewer.
"It is the Jeopardy round. Please don't keep calling it that," they added.
Well, I will be curious to see if Mayim takes anything of this feedback into account, but I think she's doing a great job.
