'Jeopardy!' Fans Freak Out Over Houseplant Clue Mix-Up

'Robbed'
Many fans proclaimed that Hucek was "robbed" of this clue. They argued that it was unfairly confusing to describe one plant while showing a picture of another.
Evidence
Fans were eager to post photos of their own monstera and philodendren plants as evidence for Hucek's case.
Correction
Fans called on the show's producers to take responsibility for this missed answer since they were the ones who showed the wrong picture.
Butterfly Effect
Many fans pointed out that if Hucek had been deemed correct, the entire rest of the game would have gone differently, so there's no telling whether this question lost her the game or not.
Too Late
Many Jeopardy! fans were expecting a mid-game correction at some point later in the episode. However, since these games are filmed well in advance, at this point they felt it was unlikely to change.
Second Time
Looking back, some fans noted that this was a re-used clue and it appears the wrong photo was shown last time as well.
Fatigue
Finally, many fans are tired of the re-used clues, returning contestants and the constant "tournament" format of this season. They are eager for new episodes now that the WGA strike is over.
