The first round of the game saw a "rare" event many slammed as "rough" before her major comeback.

Canadian tutor Mattea Roach continued her Jeopardy! winning streak Friday, nabbing her 14th game, $320K total and firmly placing her on the top 10 list of longest consecutive winners ever.

She wore a chic black blazer as she blazed her way to the end with guest host Ken Jennings, who many want to take over for good.

But April 22's game saw fans fuming about how "rough" it was.

The threshold of correct answers was so low in round one that fans pointed out they'd never seen it happen before.

As a Twitter user pointed out, two categories had three complete misses out of five each.

"So, two triple-miss categories in this #Jeopardy round? When was the last time that happened in a round?" one asked on the rare event.

One category, "Old Job Names" saw all three contestants try answering a question that was "What is: A Duffer" and none got it.

Dozens of other fans buzzed in with similar thoughts over the shockingly low-scoring scene - and sensed a pattern.

'NO COMPETITION THIS YEAR'

"I feel like I’m hearing a lot of 'No' in this game #Jeopardy," another disappointed fan wrote there were misses across the board - quite literally.

"Not the best Jeopardy round. That was rough," wrote another.

"Both Claire & Anna have catching up to do," tweeted another on first-timers Claire Dozer and Anna Meyer, who entered Double Jeopardy with a zero and a negative score respectively - while Mattea had $5,600.

Mattea won Final Jeopardy with $34,000 - betting and winning a huge $8000 - while the other two contestants ended with $2000 and $1000 respectively; a huge disparity.

"The only people they put against her [Mattea] are Stoopid," fumed a fourth though with spelling Ken may not approve of.

And on the last few nights, the user added, "Most [against her] don’t make it to Final Jeopardy with more than 5k. Many times they’re in the negative most of the game. She has skills but her competition is negligible."

"This is the most pathetic episode of #jeopardy are you f**king serious?" another fumed.

LAST MATTEA STANDING

Mattea's Thursday win also saw her two competitors enter Final Jeopardy with low scores.

So low, in fact, that it did lead to something wild and historic taking place.

Because first-time contestants Loni Lewis and Sean Wong entered Final Jeopardy both with negative scores, they didn't even compete.

Left in the red going into Final Jeopardy, the show returned from commercial with Mattea ALONE at her podium.

She and Ken stood there as she answered the category "On The Internet" correctly with "What is: Masterclass."
