A leak of & # 39; Jeopardy & # 39; seems to show the defeat of James Holzhauer

It seems that "Jeopardy" is the latest victim of a major spoiler leak.

A video was posted on Twitter Sunday night to show the winning streak of defending champion James Holzhauer, which is about to end. The episode is supposed to be aired Monday night.

In the minute, Holzhauer and his competitor Emma Boettcher correctly answer Jeopardy 's final question, but Boettcher wins after betting more money.

Holzhauer bet an unusually low amount – just $ 1399 – bringing his total play to $ 24,799. Boettcher, on the other hand, is betting $ 20,000 on the issue, giving him a total of $ 46,801.

On the video, we can see Holzhauer give Boettcher a high-five.

Sony representatives were not immediately available to comment.

On Friday, Holzhauer, a 34-year-old professional sports player, won his 32nd game in the series, bringing his winnings to $ 2,462,216.

If the video disclosed is correct, Holzhauer will be awarded US $ 2,000 for his second place, far short of Ken Jenning's record-breaking 74-game winning streak and $ 2.5 million in winnings.

Leakage of television series and film footage has been a major problem for production companies in recent times. In recent months alone, the revealers of "Game of Thrones" and "Avengers: Endgame" have both been on the Internet before their release.

Such leaks can be detrimental not only to the number of viewers, but also to the sale of tickets, when it comes to movies.

Since the series of victories of Holzhauer, the scores of "Jeopardy" continued to increase. The images broadcast could harm the ratings of Monday night. It is expected that once the hype around Holzhauer's appearance has dissipated, the odds will also decrease from recent levels.
