‘Jeopardy!’ Fans Debate ‘Absolutely Brutal’ Daily Double Ruling

Jim Carpenter, Brendan Liaw, and David Crockett competed on Jeopardy! In a game with multiple Daily Doubles on May 24, 2025.
Liaw's earlier winning streak and heavy wagering on two Daily Doubles shaped the game's tension, but a crucial ruling affected his outcome.
Carpenter secured a Daily Double and correctly answered the idiom 'acid test,' while Liaw lost a key wager after judges ruled his response incorrect on the third Daily Double.
Liaw's answer was judged as 'with the' rather than the accepted phrase, triggering fan debate described as an "absolutely brutal ruling on that DD."
Carpenter won with $25,601, becoming a one-day champion, while Liaw missed Final Jeopardy, and fans debated the ruling's fairness and its impact on the game's outcome.
