THE celebrity version of Jeopardy! has come to an epic conclusion, with some fans distracted by one of the contestant’s outfit choices.
Three celebrities were at the helm of the show on Wednesday night, battling it out to win some money for their chosen charities.
W. Kamau Bell, a comedian, author and filmmaker; Robin Thede, a comedian and writer; and Dave Friedberg, a Silicon Valley entrepreneur went up against one another during the Jeopardy! Celebrity finale.
Battling it out in order to win a nice chunk of cash for their chosen charities, the trio of famous faces played the iconic quiz show hosted by Ken Jennings.
Quizzing and winning aside, fans were distracted by one of the contestant’s outfit choices.
One fan pointed out how Robin donned high heels for the show, which in turn sparked a discussion.
On Reddit, in the daily discussion thread for the finale episode, fans and viewers united as they spoke about the celebrities and the answers they gave.
One person was very distracted and taken aback by Robin’s fashion choices and how she opted for heels.
“Honestly, can we just applaud Robin for doing the game in HIGH HEELS?” they said in the forum.
The viewer went on: “And not just a simple lift, those looked like pumps.
“I’ve never worn them, but I can certainly say that I can’t imagine what its like to wear them that long and focus on the game.”
‘DUMB’ OUTFIT CHOICE
But someone was quick to slam Robin’s decision to wear high heels, with them even branding her choice as “dumb”.
“Wearing high heels on Jeopardy is dumb,” they slammed before giving a little-known secret away about the show.
“Not only does it put you at a disadvantage for no reason but they move the platforms so that everyone is exactly the same height,” they went on.
“Any height they give you is completely negated,” the Redditor concluded.
This is true, because each podium has a hidden riser to ensure all contestants are seen as the same height.
GAME RESULTS AND WINNER REVEALED
Robin was playing for Women in Film, Dave was playing for The Humane Society, and Kamau played for DonorsChoose.
Robin’s average Coryat was $17,950, Dave’s was $12,750, and Kamau’s was $18,750.
Kamau ended up winning $1 million for his chosen charity and taking home the winning title of the celebrity series.
Reacting to Kamau’s win, one person on X said: “Kamal Bell risked it all and won $1 million for charity. Well played.”
Another added: “Aww. It was good to see Kamau win, they all played well though.”
A third person then wrote: “THE #Jeopardy CHAMP @wkamaubell IS HERE!!!!!! Waaaaaaaaaaahoooooo!!!! @DonorsChoose is blessed Co-Champs. Carry that trophy all over The Town, tell em all…”
