Jeopardy! viewers were left speechless when a contestant revealed a quirky fact during the show.
Hakme, a teacher from Seattle, shared a personal anecdote on Thursday’s episode about realizing she had met “the one” in a bathroom.
Host Ken Jennings was intrigued and asked, “You were sure about your fiancé after just three dates?”
Hakme then disclosed her struggles with IBS, a condition where stress triggers urgent bathroom visits. Her fiancé’s understanding response on their third date left an impression.
Viewers were caught off guard by the candid revelation, with one social media user commenting, “That bathroom fact on #Jeopardy is crazy!”
IBS, a chronic stomach and intestine condition, can cause discomfort like cramps, gas, and changes in bowel habits. It requires long-term management.
A clip of Hakme discussing IBS on the show sparked a mix of reactions online, with one user questioning, “Did she really talk about needing to go on their third date?”
During the episode, Hakme’s presence couldn’t halt the winning streak of the reigning champ, Adriana Hartmeyer, who has clinched 12 consecutive victories, amassing a total of $278,500.
Jeopardy!, known for its enduring legacy on American TV since its debut in 1964, saw Ken Jennings stepping in as host after the passing of Alex Trebek in 2020. Jennings, famed for his record-breaking 74 consecutive wins in 2004, now holds the reins as the show’s sole host.
