Josh played against Isaac Hirsch and Christine Roberts in the most recent episode.
During Double Jeopardy!, Josh and Isaac were competing for first place, as Josh was only $2,000 behind Isaac.
He was on a roll, answering two questions, including a Daily Double, correctly.
However, when Josh chose the “Pacific Islands” category for $2,000, he hesitated because he wasn’t so sure of the answer.
“In October 1790, Thursday in October, Christian was born on this island,” the clue read.
Neither Josh, nor Isaac, nor Christine showed up.
Host Ken Jennings informed the players that the answer was “Pitcairn Island.”
Going into the final clue, Isaac had $21,200, Josh’s total was $14,400, and Christine had $6,400.
Isaac won after answering Final Jeopardy! question correctly.
WHAT IS REPENTANCE?
After the show aired on Thursday, fans discussed the issue in a Reddit thread.
Josh joined the discussion and explained the only regret he had.
“What a fun experience! Congratulations to Isaac on a game well played. And to Christine too. Isaac is a very strong player. I wish him the best in his next game(s)!” he started.
“The only regret I have is not calling the Pitcairn Island track.”
“I saw the word Christian and my mind went to an island associated with Christians. If I had connected with Fletcher Christian, I would have understood, as I read a lot about Pitcairn and the Bounty,” Josh continued.
