Jeopardy producer Sarah Foss addressed that recent episode of the game show that left viewers and contestants alike feeling confused.

During the June 7 episode, contestants Suresh Krishnan, Collette Lee, and Kristine Rembach all failed to answer 23 separate puzzles on the show.

“In this game — this has to be a record — 23 triple stumpers. And it’s something we never like to see,” Foss said on an episode of the Inside Jeopardy! podcast, per EW.

“Actually, Kristine and Collette joked about it in the post-game chat, they were really hoping they wouldn’t go viral for leaving so much money on the board,” she said. “Thankfully, I’ve seen nothing going viral about it, so it’s not going to go viral.”

Foss and her Inside Jeopardy co-host Buzzy Cohen agreed not to mention it anymore to keep it from going viral. “We’ll forget it ever happened,” Foss said.

Well, viewers at home have not forgotten.

“That turned out to be one of the most pathetic games in a while,” one fan tweeted after the episode aired.

“Is it just me, or was tonight’s episode of #jeopardy painful to watch? As far as unanswered clues went, this episode had to be in the top 10,” someone else noted.

By one fan’s count, 23 out of the 55 clues read on the episode were triple stumpers. “That’s insane, friends,” they wrote.

Luckily, it did not get in the way of Krishnan’s victory. The contestant has been on a six-day winning streak, earning himself a spot in the Tournament of Champions.

Krishnan and his opponents made headlines again this week when they were faced with another triple stumper in a clue about a religious prayer.

The $200 clue read, “Matthew 6:9 says, ‘Our Father, which art in heaven,’ This ‘be thy name.’” The contestants were expected to fill in the word that goes before “be thy name.”

“I’m an atheist and even I knew the answer to that lord’s prayer question,” a fan wrote.

Jeopardy! airs on weeknights at 7/6c on ABC.
