Fans of Jeopardy! noticed something peculiar about a contestant on Thursday's show.

The hit game show kicked off Thursday night with Dan Meyer, a fundraising professional from Chicago, Illinois; and Kiki Jamieson, a nonprofit consultant from Toronto, Ontario going up against the two-day champ Will Wallace, a game design director from Austin, Texas. Will is a two-day champ with winnings of $28,799.

While fans wanted to watch how the game played out, one thing Dan was wearing got their attention. Eagle-eyed fans noticed silver earrings dangling from Dan's ears.

Fans took to X, formally known as Twitter, to share their thoughts. "I like Dan's earrings. #Jeopardy," one fan simply wrote.

"This dude’s got the ears for them," another commented. A third noted: "Lot of dangly earrings tonight #Jeopardy," referencing the ones that fellow contestant Kiki wore.

A fourth eloquently wrote: "Dan's earrings on #Jeopardy! are pretty cool. They are so exotic that he seems like a Prince from a far-a-way land that might dual-wield Scimitars whilst in romantic combat."

"The earrings don’t match his suit. Should have worn the studs. #jeopardy," another joked. But the comments weren't contained to just X.

On the daily Reddit thread of the game, one fan wrote: "Contestant Dan with the earrings tonight!! Oh man! Not sure what to think about it. Do you, man!" Another commented: "Dan really rocked those earrings. They looked like double [helixes]."

Though fans enjoyed Dan's fashion choices, he came in last only racking up $8,200. Will went on to win his third game in a row with a score of $13,400 - making his three-day total $55,598.

The show the night before had a lot of fan reaction as well. Those at home slammed it for having so many triple stumper questions.

"I'm glad I'm not alone in doing very poorly today," one fan wrote on Reddit. Fans also felt for the contestants.

Another wrote: "Oh man poor Sophia! That was hard to watch. In first place, gets the DD, wagers small, misses... And then slides down the mountain with a series of incorrect guesses. Gotta feel for her."
