I don’t much like Ken Jennings or what’s her name. I agree the show should have sunsetted with Alex.
But from what I saw, the man (also current champion) had gotten in his correction before KenJen pronounced his answer wrong, while the woman’s correction came after he pronounced her answer wrong (or at least started to).
My understanding is that this is within the scope of the rules: if you correct yourself before being declared wrong, it counts.
Most annoying to me is that this is such a non-story. Bread and circuses.
Complainants are correct that favoring one contestant over another is bad, but they are wrong about the fact that it must be their favorite pet buzzword.
The clown world is quite exhausting. Everything has to be 'racist' or 'sexist' or some other form of 'ist'.

Show should’ve sunset with Alex. Show reruns for a while then let it go.
Disagree with his politics as well, but probably should've went w/ Levar Burton.
Eh hearing the story of how much a bunch of douche canoes the TNG cast was back in the day. It’s jaded me on seeing them get back any kinda stardom.
Back in the day, I thought they had just become douches recently?
Nah it's been a long time. All a bit of hedonistic group they were according to the set crew.
Believe it or not Alex was t the original host. Just the longest running one. Someone did it for about a decade before Alex
Oh I know that bit of lore. But as with Queen Lizzy the longest runner sets the standard that others are judged by.
Proof that women will twist anything into proof of victimhood. That's what gives them power.

Yeah, this. It was a bad call, but the use of all your typical left buzzwords just makes all form of sympathy vanish.
Why did you sting me!?
