There's disappointing yourself, and then there's disappointing family members. Jeopardy! contestant Drew Goins experienced both last fall when he flubbed a question about Taylor Swift.
The September 2024 clue was, âThe first of Taylor Swiftâs record 4 AOTY Grammys was for this record in 2010.â The correct answer was âWhat is Fearless?â but the Honolulu journalist could not answer.
Goins may have been disappointed in himself, but he was even more worried about how his brother Zach would feel, as Zach is a diehard Swiftie.
âI got a Taylor Swift question wrong, and went home worried that the Swifties would come rip me out of my bed one night, but it turns out the angriest Swiftie was my brother, who is here today."
When Drew had another chance at Jeopardy, Zach helped him cram the night beforeâpointedly so.
âThe night before taping, he had prepared an entire practice board for me⊠and it was entirely Taylor Swift.â
Luckily, Drew was able to make his brother proud when he got the last clue on the board...about a Taylor Swift album from 2014.
People thought his comeback was great.
Everyone loves a redemption arc.
People were fairly generous about Drew's flub.
People loved that Zach was in the audience this time.
Zach also appeared in the comments.
Fans can watch Jeopardy! on NBC, or catch up on streaming services.
