Jeopardy! fans are demanding that the show put a stop to contestants writing shout-outs in their Final Jeopardy! responses, which is a great idea because they're unnecessary, distracting, and take away from the prestige of the game. During Jeopardy! games, contestants must hand-write their answers to the Final Jeopardy! question, which allows them the freedom to write whatever they want as responses. As a result, some add personal messages to their family members to their answers, or even write them as their only responses if they don't know the answer to the question.
