Jeopardy! has been facing criticism the past few days for determining that one contestant gave an incorrect response. In the category "Where's that Church?," the trio of contestants were given the clue, "Built in the 300s A.D., the Church of the Nativity."
"What is Palestine?," contestant Katie Needle answered after buzzing in. Host Alex Trebek responded with a kindly, "No."
People understood Katie's confusion over being told that she was wrong.
Katie also stood by her answer on Twitter.
