“Danger!” Fans expressed their displeasure with the long quiz show after all three contestants lost after submitting a correct answer.

During “The Quotable Alex” class on Monday’s episode, anchor Mayim Bialik read the following evidence: “Author and former prisoner: ‘Socialism of any kind and shadow leads to the complete destruction of the human spirit.'”

Contestant Juveria Zaheer initially buzzed in with the correct answer: Russian writer Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, but her pronunciation of his last name missed the mark.

Then the second player, Sami Casanova, swooped in and also gave the correct answer with her attempt to which she also gave a ‘no’.

Returning champion Hannah Wilson debated her own pronunciation of “Solzhenitsyn”, but the judges rejected her attempt as well.

Bialik, 47, has said before: “That’s a little hard to pronounce — I’m looking for ‘Solzhenitsyn’.” Pronounce the name correctly.

The flop caused an uproar on Twitter from fans who criticized the show for judging each player’s answer.

“If you will not accept anyone’s attempt to pronounce Solzhenitsyn, do not write evidence about him,” He said.

“Solzhenitsyn. It’s hard to say but one of them was rather close. Of all the names that should be strict to….,” another added.

One books: “It was ridiculous, they all clearly knew the answer but didn’t know Solzhenitsyn’s correct pronunciation.”

“Yeah that was a little silly,” someone else Agreed.

However, one supposed fan believed the ruling was fair.

“I’m on the Jeopardy side. The fact that they have that Solzhenitsyn quote. Say this guy’s name right,” they say. argue.

Of course, this wasn’t the first time the show had problems with pronunciation, as contestants have faced similar spelling issues throughout the game show’s long-running history.

On Thursday, it was reported that Bialik, 47, had exited the show in the final week of filming season 39 in support of the ongoing Writers Guild of America strike.

Co-host Ken Jennings, 48, is set to continue the show while they finish filming for the season between May 16-19.

Former classmate “Danger!” Champion James Holzhauer, 38, snubbed Jennings during the “Jeopardy! Sid” on Monday, and now gleefully tells the host to “stop slacking off on the rematch.” “
