JEOPARDY! contestant Drew Goins has responded to fan comments about his wardrobe malfunction on Monday evening’s Second Chance tournament.
The Hawaii-based journalist crushed the competition and ended the game with a jaw-dropping $36,801- but viewers were talking about more than just his final score.

Drew distracted fans in his thin see-through turtleneck.
“Drew’s nipples were poking through this shirt,” one follower on Reddit said.
“Am I the only one who sees nothing but Drew’s nipples nearly every time he is on screen?” asked another.
“Definitely R-rated, but I loved it,” said a third.
Drew took to Instagram to address the malfunction.
“Sloppy seconds. Catch me and my nipples in the @jeopardy Second Chance Competition,” he cheekily posted.
Drew’s friends chimed in to roast him.
“And the tight sweater is nice. Cold in the studio?” one joked.
Despite the distraction, Jeopardy! viewers were “super impressed” with Drew’s gameplay.

He also was able to redeem himself from his first episode by nailing a Taylor Swift clue.
“In 2014, Taylor Swift gave us this album named after a different year,” host Ken Jennings said.
“What is 1989!” Drew screamed, and the audience burst into applause.
Jeopardy! has done away with specialized tournaments like its College Tournaments, Kids Week, and Professor’s Tournament to gear towards a more sports-like model, with Masters being the top of the Jeopardy pyramid.
Other versions of Jeopardy! have fizzled out throughout the years as well, like Sports Jeopardy!.
Earlier in the episode, Drew said his brother punished him for blanking on a question about Taylor’s album Fearless during a September show.
“I 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’s here today,” he said.
“The night before taping, he had prepared an entire practice board for me, and it was entirely Taylor Swift.”
Drew will return to the small screen after securing a spot in the preliminary round of the Second Chance tournament.
