"Jeopardy!" fans are not pleased with the outcome of Monday night’s episode.

The show’s host, Ken Jennings, accepted a final response that was deemed "unacceptable" by fans online. 

Emmett Stanton, who won "Jeopardy!" on Friday, made a return on Monday night. During the final bet, Jennings said the final clue, which read: "The governor of Massachusetts wrote, it 'is a poor document, but a mighty act…wrong in its delay till January, but grand & sublime after all.'"

Stanton was competing against Suzanne Goss and Jason Freeman, who were all nearly even at the end of the game. The scores going into the final round showed Goss with $8,400, Freeman with $8,400 and Stanton with $8,000.

‘JEOPARDY!’ HOST KEN JENNINGS ACCUSED OF UNFAIRNESS IN JUDGING CONTESTANTS' ANSWERS

In the final round of "Jeopardy!" players handwrite their submission and choose how much they want to bet. Stanton put all of his money on the line and placed an $8,000 bet.

It appears that Stanton knew what he wanted to bet, "Emancipation Proclamation," but his note was illegible. He wrote "Emancipation" before attempting to spell "Proclamation" twice. His first attempt he crossed out.

After Jennings read Stanton’s submission, he replied, "What is the Emancipation... Proclamation," with the show’s host appearing to have some trouble figuring out what Stanton tried to write. "That is correct."

Goss and Freeman both did not have the correct answer, but since Goss only bet $6,000, she would have won on a technicality had Stanton’s answer been deemed unacceptable.

"Jeopardy!" fans took to Reddit following the episode. "I'm not sure how the judges accepted the writing on Final Jeopardy today. The first half worked, but the second... whew," one user wrote.

"There's no possible way to translate that last half into Proclamation, regardless of observed intent," another user chimed in.
