Ben Chan lost Jeopardy! on Tuesdays episode with a teeny-tiny spelling mistake that left him blowing his lips and doubling over in frustration. (Watch the video below.)
No wonder.
Chan had won nine straight games with insurmountable leads going into Final Jeopardy. But when he finally was challenged by an opponent in striking range, Chan fell on one measly letter.
The final category was Shakespeares Characters and the clue read, Both of the names of these 2 lovers in a Shakespeare play come from Latin words for blessed.
Lynn Di Vito, who was in second place at the time, incorrectly answered Who are Romeo and Juli (Juliet). Her $3,000 lost wager put her at $11,800. Chan answered, Who are Beatrice & Benedict? which appeared to be correct but the fussbudgets on the game show ruled it incorrect because the characters name from Much Ado About Nothing is Benedick. Chan wagered $12,201 to sink his total to $5,199. Game over.
