A fan posted on Reddit,
"jenna should get a second chance. laura looks like she’ll be in the TOC now or at the very least a CWC spot. While i like laura, tomorrow i will be rooting for amber gamrat as she’s from the town next to mine."
Another Jeopardy! fan posted,
"Jenna really ate up! Esp on a few DDs. I felt so bad to see her blowing all her balance over some bear."
"Those 2 gotta be invited back for Second Chance," read another Reddit comment.
"Jenna should be in the 5th SCC shortlist since she got 20 correct responses only to lose in the FJ along with Jasmine the previous week."
A few fans even expressed their surprise at Jenna and Harry not being able to guess the correct answer in the Final Jeopardy.
A fan expressed his disappointment on Reddit,
"I was surprised the two challengers missed Final Jeopardy. Do you think it is a generational thing? Both challengers seemed younger and I am wondering if there were just not as exposed to the PSAs."
"Nobody getting the "don't take any wooden nickels" correct surprised me, maybe because I'm an old," another fan of Jeopardy! posted.
A comment on Reddit read, "Depressed by the terrible FJ bet."
A few fans even appreciated the champion, Laura.
A comment on the Reddit thread read:
"laura must be the luckiest person on the planet. :)"
"Laura had better have purchased lottery tickets, and possibly played some roulette, during the filming week," another fan posted.
"Daily Doubles and Final Jeopardies are like free kicks in soccer; you can steal wins if you get 'em right. Laura may be one of the lowest scoring 4-day champions I've seen, but to paraphrase Capt. Jack Sparrow, she is a 4-day champ," wrote another fan as Laura wrapped up her day 4 with a total earning of $40,400.
