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.
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:
Each podium has a hidden riser so that all contestants appear to be the same height. After each clue is read, signal lights go off around the game board, indicating players can buzz in and respond. Buzz in too early, and you’re locked out for .25 seconds. The podiums have a small white light in the lower left corner, which tells Ken Jennings who goes next. Contrary to popular belief, the player with control doesn’t have a buzzer advantage on the next clue. To the game board’s left is a scoreboard so the players can see their opponents’ scores. All contestants must bring three outfits to the studio, but only the host and returning champion change for the next episode. There are wardrobe rules, including restrictions on busy patterns, solid white, purple (like the background), and logos. Five episodes are taped in a single day, and sometimes more. The categories, players (aside from the returning champion), and Final Jeopardy! for a tape day are all drawn randomly to ensure fairness. Female contestants are asked not to wear makeup, which is applied backstage, and don’t wear mascara because of sweat. Contestants fill out a questionnaire, and producers select five Q&A topics for the host. Host Ken isn’t allowed to interact with the contestants until after the game. Players can request to sit in a chair while competing without question.GAME RESULTS AND WINNER REVEALED
