During Wednesday evening’s episode, contestant Karen Morris made a bad choice with her bet when it came to the final rounds of the trivia show — and she lost big time.
Morris was in the lead with earnings of $21,800, while the other players had scored $7,100 and $6,400. During the Double Jeopardy segment, Morris opted for a huge bet — $10,000 — in an attempt to emerge as the victor of the game.

Beau and I play ‘Jeopardy’ every day on a Page-A-Day calendar. I had a perfect week last week and bet it all. Came away with $10,500.00!

Yeah wolf blitzer getting stomped by Andy Richter was about as humiliating as you can get.
LOL 😅😆
Making a poor bet is not proof of dumb.
Dumbest Jeopardy players I have ever seen are when the program has the DC celebs on. The DC politicos are beyond embarrassingly stupid. And ignorant. Frightenly so.
It’s bizarre that she was singled out, but the reason they’re calling her dumb is that she had clinched the game, if only she didn’t make a big bet.
I’ll take “Anal bum cover,” Alex.
The funniest one was they showed a bleeding-heart flower and said “This is the name of a flower, and a disparging term for people on the left.” And the NPR hostess answered, “Pansies.”
Who cares?
