‘Celebrity Jeopardy’ Contestants Intimidated By Taylor Swift
On the December 6 episode of Celebrity Jeopardy, Ken Jennings noted that the contestants seem to be avoiding a particular category. Seemingly, Kyra Sedgwick, Mo Rocca, and Amanda Seales were experiencing intimidation of the new TIME Person Of The Year.
Celebrity Jeopardy Contestants Battle It Out
When the Celebrity Jeopardy competition made it to the standoff in the last quarterfinal game of the season, it got tense. In the normal battle of the wits, celebrity contestants Kyra Sedgwick, Mo Rocca, and Amanda Seales zinged through the categories, except for one. Holding out until the very end, the three contenders left one category untouched. Even in the Double Jeopardy! round, this category remained: “Also A Taylor Swift Song.”
Celebrity Jeopardy Throws A Curve Ball
As the game continued, the full category remained on the Celebrity Jeopardy board. With few options remaining, one brave soul finally dared to pick the Taylor Swift question for $200. Notably, selecting a low amount to avoid taking too much risk, Kyra Sedgwick attempted. Then the answer was revealed, “Careful! This washing machine cycle using cold water and low spin speed is suggested for lingerie & silk neckties.” Stumping all three contestants, it was “What is Delicate?” An easy reply for the Swifties out there.
However, the clues in the category weren’t as scary as the Celebrity Jeopardy participants originally thought. And in the end, journalist Mo Rocca pelted out several answers to win the round. Additionally, he will advance to the semifinals. At this point, one million dollars will be the prize for one lucky celebrity charity.
Fans Are Stunned
While Swifties everywhere were dumbfounded by the avoidance, these three Celebrity Jeopardy participants showed their hesitation until the bitter end. But fans took to the X platform to talk about their observances:
- “They’re avoiding the Taylor Swift category like the plague. Way to disrespect the newly minted Time Person of the Year.”
