‘Thirst Traps’ On Pop Culture Jeopardy!
Pop Culture Jeopardy! has been a big hit since it premiered on Amazon Prime Video. It drops three new episodes every week, and it gives fans a chance to catch up at their own pace. Many questions have to do with movies, music, TV shows, and pop culture icons. However, one recent category has many fans talking.

“Thirst Traps” was a new category. This refers to social media posts that exist to provoke sexual attraction for viewers. An example is a woman posing in a revealing bikini or a man posing shirtless with his abs showing. The entire purpose is to get as many views, likes, and comments as possible.
On Pop Culture Jeopardy!, the entire idea of the category is celebrities who either posted “thirst trap” posts or have spoken about them. All five clues were revealed on the show, and the players got every question right. They included:
- “This lifestyle queen appeared on the cover of the 2023 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue at 81 years old.” – Who is Martha Stewart?
- “This most followed man on IG is notorious for shirtless photos bearing his soccer-honed abs.” – Who is Cristiano Renaldo?
- “With the help of Hoda Kotb & a hairdryer, this Today Show book guru posted a thirst trap to celebrate 1 million followers.” – Who is Jenna Bush Hager?
- “This star of The Bear was shirtless in a Calin Klein ad that had fans salivating.” – Who is Jeremy Allen White?
- “To a post showing Ryan Reynolds in a tank top, this woman with whom he shares 4 kids responded, ‘My thirst has been trapped.'” – Who is Blake Lively?
Fans Respond To Pop Culture Jeopardy! ‘Thirst Trap’ Category
Jenna Bush Hager joked about the category, saying that her parents were never prouder. She is, of course, the daughter of former U.S. President George W. Bush (via PEOPLE).
However, the entire category took many fans by surprise. Here is a sample of their comments:
- “Knowing how Jeopardy typically goes, I wasn’t expecting actual thirst traps.”
- “Wonder how he feels about clues involving his wife’s ex-husband.”
That last comment was all about Colin Jost being married to Scarlet Johansson, who was previously married to Ryan Reynolds. However, he seemed to be game with the entire situation and is having fun with the new game show gig.
