JEOPARDY! fans have shared their shock after spotting a contestant seemingly suffering an inappropriate blunder during the family-friendly game show on Wednesday.
Viewers have accused one of the players, Gregory Scrugg, of swearing shortly into the broadcast.
A third of the way into the Jeopardy! episode, things seemed to get a bit heated for Gregory.
He seemed to be getting antsy after failing to answer a clue he’d selected.
Host Mayim Bialik told him to “select again,” and he chose “Body Parts in Latin” for $600.
As the clue started to come up, the sound effects were triggered and board revealed that it was a Daily Double.

Instead of being happy about it, though, fans noticed Gregory appeared to angrily mouth “f**k.”
He then covered his mouth before starting to scratch his beard as he thought about how much of his $3,400 to wager.
One eagle-eyed viewer tweeted: “Did he just mouth ‘f**k’?”
Another responded: “Sure looks like the F-Bomb to me!!”
Aside from his apparent blunder during the show, viewers also blasted Gregory for his behavior that left them “dizzy” & “in pain.”
Clad in a grey suit, Gregory’s gameplay was not why fans felt their well-being was in jeopardy.
At the middle podium, the Seattle Washington-based journalist would not stop swaying back and forth.
Dozens of viewers noticed and buzzed in about his whiplash-inducing inability to stand still, which did not cease until the credits.
“This guy is making me seasick,” one tweeted.
Pleaded another: “Stop moving, Gregory!”
“Gregory is a ‘swayer,'” labeled a third.
A fourth tweeted: “Yo this guy has to stop moving around.
“He’s making my anxiety go up and up. Just sit still lol.”
A final user begged the producers to intervene: “#Jeopardy Producers or whoever PLEASE tell the contestants NOT to sway.
“THANK YOU from my eyes and stomach.”
Aside from the rapid movements, fans slammed Gregory’s story about a “40-mile long hike” during the Q&A portion.
“Boring story, Greg,” one viewer sadly wrote.
But Mayim’s hosting was also not so steady, her critics felt.
Wednesday’s episode ended with Double Jeopardy clues not completed and no time left – a regular occurrence with the actress.
One tweeted about the host: “I’m at my wit’s end with Mayim.
“Her pauses between informing contestants if they’re right or wrong keep growing, and that contributed to leaving a clue on the board.”

They added: “Ken’s not perfect but at least the game feels intact under him.”
One week in May, three of five games ended with clues still on the board under Mayim.
