It has been a dominating run for James Holzhauer on Jeopardy! Masters. The self-proclaimed "game show villain" has won every game he has played but one and often by massive margins. And this is against some of the best Jeopardy! contestants ever. But a bit of controversy came up as Holzhauer was on his way to another win that has many Jeopardy! Masters fans up in arms.
One of the signature parts of Jeopardy! is that for answers to be correct, you must answer in the form of a question. You can't just say "the Declaration of Independence," you have to respond "What is the Declaration of Independence?" This has been the case since day one. Countless players over the years have been dinged points because of this, but fans were confused when Holzhauer had a couple of instances in his May 23 semifinal game where he avoided such a penalty.
