Thought this was interesting:
Holzhauer’s loss actually took place well before Friday evening—it was taped on March 12. Even though the episode’s result came to light before being aired, it’s impressive that producers, contestants, audience members, and (presumably) their loved ones all kept quiet for months. Jeopardy wouldn’t tell me anything about the protocols it has in place to prevent leaks, but Saunders said the show has contestants sign nondisclosure agreements, and asks members of the studio audience not to blab. They usually don’t, he said, out of “respect for the show and the process.”
People respect the show enough to not spoil the result.
