‘Jeopardy!’ Fans In Uproar, Say Megan Wachspress’ Wins Are ‘Rigged’?

Jeopardy! fans are sick of current champion Megan Wachspress. She won her sixth consecutive win in Tuesday’s game. Some fans think it’s a case of luck while others claim the show is “rigged.” Megan has squeaked past her fellow contestants.

Her winning streak started off when she defeated previous champ Eric Ahasic but was met with controversy. During Friday’s show, she beat out Sadie who had the right response but didn’t write her answer in full. Host Mayim Bialik informed her that her response was incorrect and declared Megan as the current champ.

Even with small wagers, she’s barely moving along. Fans are in disbelief over her consecutive wins, which have already placed her in the Tournament of Champions. In another lucky move, Megan won her sixth game. See why Jeopardy! fans want her gone.

Megan Wachspress wins another game

Some Jeopardy! fans have called Megan a very lucky woman. Meanwhile, others wondered if these recent episodes are “rigged.” That wasn’t the cast for the past champions this season, all of which have won due to their own merit. Yet, fans are so shocked over the latest episodes, they have to wonder if the game was fixed.

Host Mayim Bialik is hosting for the sixth week in a row. Megan has won her sixth game. Six has suddenly become a lucky number. In addition, the attorney currently has $60,000 in total. She bent over in shock when she found out that she won. Jeopardy! fans are shocked by the low figure despite winning many games.

They have to wonder if the show has been trying to fix the show in her favor. Most of them took to social media to talk about that surprising moment. It took place during Final Jeopardy! when contestant Rob had $16,5000 to his total while the returning champ only had $8,400.

The odds seemed to be in his favor with the category “Geography” since he’s a teaching physician. Yet, Megan was the only one who got that answer right. The correct response was “Archipelago.” She only wagered $201, which put her at $8,601, while Rob wagered a staggering $7,901 and lost by $2.

However, Jeopardy! viewers weren’t as impressed. They stormed Twitter to call out the “rigged” game. Some of them even want Megan gone. They’re no longer liking the way she’s playing the game and getting by with little wagers and too much luck.

• “What the what!!!”
• “How many times can someone win by $2?”
• “Someone tell me what dirt Megan has on the producers?”
• “That was the wildest Jeopardy I’ve seen in ages.”
• “Jeopardy is rigged.”
• “This lady has won six straight Jeopardy games by a grand total of $5.”
