Kids Jeopardy Contestant: Robbed By Producers Over Spelling Error!

Kids Jeopardy contestant Thomas Hurley III was robbed last week by a barely-noticeable spelling error on Final Jeopardy – and he’s not happy about it. The 12-year-old misspelled the correct “Emancipation Proclamation” during the episode-ending round, and it did not count, outraging many viewers. Jeopardy Contestant: Cheated Over Misspelling? NOTE: Winner Skyler Hornback bet big and got the answer right, so even with the right spelling, Hurley wouldn’t have walked away with the first prize. Still he tells the Danbury (Conn.) News-Times , “I was pretty upset that I was cheated out of the final ‘Jeopardy!’ question. It was just a spelling error.” The Final Jeopardy question, phrased in the form of an answer: “Abraham Lincoln called this document, which took effect in 1863, ‘a fit and necessary war measure.'” Hurley included an extra “t” and his response was deemed invalid. “It generated a little bit of controversy,” Hurley’s mom Suzanne admitted. “He was a little stunned by it. He felt embarrassed. It was hard to watch.” The paper said the show lost Hurley as a fan, though he was proud to get a chance to go to California and play, winning a $2,000 consolation prize. His family and friends are “proud of me,” he said, but added, “It’s just upsetting to have lost that way. I don’t know why it would have counted as the wrong answer.” Producers told THR via email: “If ‘Jeopardy!’ were to give credit for an incorrect response (however minor), the show would effectively penalize the other players.” The show added, “We love presenting young people as contestants on our show and make every effort to be fair and consistent in their treatment.”

Desiree Hartsock on The Bachelorette Breakup: Blindsided and Heartbroken By Brooks!

While careful not to reveal The Bachelorette spoilers concerning next Monday’s finale, Desiree Hartsock is speaking out about last night’s events. In a shocking twist, Brooks Forester vaguely, awkwardly dumped her in an epic breakup that resulted in endless tears and consumed an hour of TV. Desiree Hartsock, Brooks Forester Breakup (The Bachelorette) Truly, it is the most surprising ending to The Bachelorette we’ve seen, just as the producers promised. Heading into next week, so many questions linger. Is Brooks gone for good? Is Des done for good after this rejection? What about Chris and Drew? Do either stand a chance? And how will they fill two hours? We’ll find out in Monday’s conclusion of this two-part finale. For now, let’s hear what Hartsock had to say about last night : “Antigua was the perfect destination to continue my relationships with the three remaining guys … Each one has such incredible qualities but Brooks stood out.” “My relationship with Brooks was always secure and confident when we were together, but I never knew what was going through his mind when we were apart.” “That should have been a red flag, but sometimes love is blind.” “I never wanted to believe that maybe this experience was more than just hard for Brooks, and that he potentially wasn’t on the same page as me.” “He led me to believe that he was on board and wanted this to work out. I had such strong feelings that I couldn’t imagine not reaching the full potential of a proposal.” “I was surprised watching and seeing the conversations Brooks had with his mother and sister and with Chris Harrison, expressing his doubts and feelings.” “He never expressed those concerns with me until it was too late. I was completely blindsided and heartbroken by his exit.” “When he first greeted me on that beach, I knew that something was wrong and I was shocked to learn exactly how he felt.” “I am relieved now that he was honest about his feelings and that he was brave enough to address them before taking the relationship further.” “I wish Brooks could have felt more comfortable coming to me sooner but it was better that it happened in Antigua and not down the road.” “My dates with Chris and Drew were so wonderful, but Brooks’ departure really threw me for a loop. I seriously considered going home and calling it all quits.” “In a breakup, emotions are high and it takes self-reflection to gain clarity and peace.” “I was heartbroken by Brooks leaving and uncertain of what the future held. But I had two incredible men still there who did love me and I wanted to see this through.” “Could get past this heartbreak to love either one of them as much as they both deserved? And would we ever get the opportunity to explore that?” “I promised myself from the beginning that I was here for love and not just to go through the motions. I had to remind myself that if I wasn’t feeling enough for the guys, I wouldn’t stay.” So, there you go. That brings you up to speed … and yet it doesn’t. Whether she’s single or engaged or somewhere in between, Des is playing it close to the vest as buzz surrounding The Bachelorette finale builds. We would expect nothing else, so all we can do is direct you to our Bachelorette spoilers rundown (first sentence of this article) and ask again: How do you think The Bachelorette finale will play out?   Brooks returns and gets engaged to Des! Chris gets the final rose! Drew gets the final rose! Desiree is crushed and goes home single! View Poll »

Dear Bossip: This Man Almost Destroyed My Life & My Job Made Me Divorce Him & He Blames Me For His Downfall

Dear Bossip, I am 44-years old and have 5 kids who are all pretty much grown except my two teens. I met a man who is 6 years younger than me and he was so nice and made me feel like I mattered. I am overweight, but I have a beautiful heart and soul. But, after a couple months he changed and called me horrible names and tore my soul out. Then, he said he was sorry and I listened to him tell me that he has been through sad and painful relationships with women and his mom. So, I gave him so many chances then he seemed to be okay. Then, I noticed when he drank he became someone else. I always had to prove to him I loved him. I wouldn’t cheat and I couldn’t have friends because it was about us only. Then, I started to hear so many things about his violent past and how he had been in prison. I am not a judge so I gave him a chance. Then, we married. Why I don’t know So, with my job I have to submit finger prints for any adult who lives in the home. His didn’t pass and I found out even more stuff that he had done as a teen. The state pulled my license and I couldn’t work for over three months or get a job due to the fact I was married to this man. I almost lost everything and couldn’t feed my kids or pay bills. He moved to his aunt’s home because I had to save my job to feed my kids and myself. So, my job said I couldn’t be married to him. I filed for a divorce and felt so horrible, but I had to because he hasn’t worked ever since I’ve known him for the last 6 years. So, he sleeps in the park and calls me names and says it’s my fault. But, I paid his child support and supported him physically, financially, and mentally. And, when I couldn’t feed my kids or our dogs he just said what do you want me to do I don’t have a job. He never told me he was bipolar. He’s made my life hell, him and his family. I just want to know, I guess, am I wrong for saving my job of 15 years to feed my kids? – Job Over My Husband Dear Ms. Job Over My Husband , Wow! I’m truly sorry for all that you’ve been through. This is truly traumatic and devastating. And, I want you to know, first and foremost, girl, you don’t owe him a damn thing! The hell is wrong with that man! Be glad that your job did you the favor and made you divorce him sooner rather than much later. Your life would have ended up with you destitute, crazy, homeless, and broke! No ma’am! No man is worth losing your health, wealth, mentality, and emotional well-being over. But, look here, you had all the clues and insights into this man before you married him. You just didn’t pay attention because as you said you are overweight, and this man showed you some affection and attention. Uhm, sweetie, I don’t care how overweight or how you feel about yourself, but don’t ever let your self-esteem and self-worth be tied to how a man, especially a man who makes you feel good because you are uncomfortable and unhappy with yourself. He saw his way into your life, and his weasel a** squirmed right into it and played you. And, I bet that is what happened. He made you feel good about yourself for a while, and once he knew he was in your good graces his ugly colors began to display. Once he called you out of your name the first time that should have been the last time. No amount of sorry, “I won’t do it again,” or, “Other women and my mom made me this way,” should have sufficed for you to take him back. Sorry! I’m not buying that bull-ish. Once a man calls you out of your name, it’s time to chuck up the deuces and bounce. It’s a foreshadowing of what’s to come from him – emotional, mental, and physical abuse is around the corner. The next clue was his drinking. SMDH! Sorry, but a man who drinks to escape his problems is a man who is unstable and unworthy of your time and life. Why would you want to be in a relationship with a drunk? An alcoholic? Would you go to the corner and pick up a drunk man and move him into your house? Hell no! So, why would you continue to maintain a relationship with this man? I tell you that some of you women are so desperate to have a man you will do things that are detrimental to yourself, your family, and your well-being. It’s not worth it. No d**k is worth your sanity! And, the other clue is this man not having a job. Uhm, sweetie, why, oh why, would you put up with a man who has not held a job for six years? After the first six months, hell, the first three months, and he didn’t have a job he should have been put out of your house! If he can’t earn his own money, then he can’t eat. If he is not contributing to the household, then he can’t stay. You don’t pay any bills, then you are not using and running up the electricity, water, cable, phone, or any other bills. GET TO STEPPING! On top of it all you were paying his child support payments, and you supported him. Let me do some woo-sas! This man lied to you and manipulated you. He played into your low self-esteem, and the pity party you have about your weight. He made love to you and you fell for the ole okey-doke. This is the dangerous drug of what d**k does to some women. A man in between your legs whispering the things you want to hear makes you feel good about yourself. However, all the while he is lying and deceiving you. He didn’t tell you about his violent past. He didn’t tell you about his prison record, his destructive behaviors, his bipolar, and why he is the reason and problem for why his life is a mess! You are not the reason his life is the way it is. Stop feeling sorry for him, and tell his a** to man the hell up! So, change your numbers, locks on your home, and block this man out of your life. Move on, and be grateful that your job did you a huge favor and made you divorce this man. Be grateful that your job saved you and your children’s lives. Your job, and your ability to take care of yourself and your children, is far more important than this fool who tried to bring you down and destroy your life. And, you can always exercise and lose weight. You can always do things to change your physical appearance. It just takes some commitment, time, and love. And, in that love you work on you, heal yourself emotionally and mentally. You deserve better. Let his a** sleep in the park. That’s where low-life bums go when they don’t want to do anything but blame the world, and others, for their situation and problems. You are not his responsibility. Your responsibility is to you and your children. Believe that! – Terrance Dean Hey Bossip Fam, what do you think? Share your opinions and thoughts below!

Ghana Advance To U20 World Cup Semifinals After A Superb Game And Win Over Chile In Turkey! [Video]

These kids are the future… and let’s not talk about the final goal play. We knew Ghana was capable of the dramatic, but this is just foolish. In the U-20 World Cup round of 16, Ghana scored two goals in the final 11 minutes to shock Portugal, 3-2. But the Black Stars outdid themselves today against Chile in a seven-goal thriller. Ghana, though they were more aggressive and looked more dangerous throughout the game, needed a 71st-minute Ebenezer Assifuah goal to claw back to 2-2, and 19 minutes later, the sides were headed to 30 minutes of extra time. That’s when shit got hectic. Eight minutes into extra time, Chile pulled ahead again, 3-2, when forward Angelo Henriquez timed a perfect curling run into the box and headed a ball played over the top of the Ghana defense past keeper Eric Antwi. It was a great two-man goal, and with Chile on top, Ghana had only 22 minutes to equalize and send the match to penalties. It only took them 15. By the 113th minute, Ghana were throwing bodies forward to attack, though Chile didn’t seem like they’d break until a deflection at the top of the box wrong-footed a defender and left Ghana with numbers in the 18. Black Stars playmaker Clifford Aboagye collected the ball, drew the last defender, and slotted a pass right to Salifa Seidu, who powered the chance low past Darío Melo for the goal to tie the match, 3-3. The two sides were virtually a lock to go to penalties, if only because almost everyone goes to penalties at this stage of the match. And it looked like they were, after just one minute had been added to the end. But in the 121st minute—30 seconds into injury time of extra time—Frank Ancheampong received a pass on the right sideline, beat two Chilean defenders with an ingenius, cutting run to the end line, and looped what amounted to an alley-oop into the middle of the 18-yard-box. Assifuah was waiting, and outjumped a teammate to direct a pathetic bouncing header onto goal. Two Chilean defenders shifted over to comfortably block the shot, and both missed the entire ball. It was unclear whether it was a communication error or a brief hesitation that usually comes with seeing a friendly jersey out of the corner of your eye, but they somehow fucked it up, and the ball lazily slid past them both. The goalkeeper was a foot away from the ball, but he was blinded by his defenders. So Assifuah’s pathetic header skipped into the back of the net, and Ghana was through to the semifinal. The Black Stars, who actually became the first African team to win the tournament in 2009, keep getting all the breaks, and are just two matches away from repeating as U-20 world champions. They play France on Wednesday. Let’s go Ghana!! youtube deadspin

Lil Wayne Stomps on American Flag For "God Bless Amerika" Music Video Shoot

Lil Wayne stomped on an American flag over the weekend. He’s filming a music video for “God Bless Amerika” in his hometown of New Orleans, and it all started off harmlessly enough, with Weezy rapping in front of the flag. Old Glory is then released to the ground – already a big no-no, as we learned on Flag Day – at which point Wayne continues to rap, while stomping on it. Check out the footage from Wayne’s video shoot below: Lil Wayne American Flag Stomping The lyrics, believe it or not, are just as controversial, which isn’t shocking from a man who infamously rapped about beating up a p—y like Emmett Till . “My country ’tis of thee / Sweet land of kill ’em all and let ’em die / God bless Amerika / This ole’ godless Amerika,” raps the lightning rod that is Tunechi. It’s his constitutional right to do this, of course … but that doesn’t mean people will line up to defend him. We’re anticipating quite the opposite in fact. What’s your take on the situation?
