Jeopardy contestant heartbreakingly missed a win by 1 letter in Final Jeopardy
Ooooooffff this hurts the most.
Just like a mispronunciation on Wheel of Fortune is tough to watch, the same goes here on Jeopardy!
Mehal was in the Tournament of Champions quarterfinal with a chance to move on, but one letter prevented him from winning.
The Final Jeopardy on Thursday was Latin Phrases, with this clue: 'After Camillagate, a fire at Windsor Castle & marriage problems in her family, Queen Elizabeth II dubbed 1992 this.'
The answer? That would be What is annus horribilis?
And Mehal nailed it … except he missed an 'i' in 'horribilis.' And that doomed him. He was eliminated. What a bummer.
