As we reported … social media users are up in arms over a “Celebrity Jeopardy!” clue on Monday’s episode which brought up Gabby and Brian’s deaths.
The clue reads … “In 2021 Fugitive Brian Laundrie Ended His Days In Fla.’s Myakkahatchee Creek Area, Home to These Long & Toothy Critters.” The answer was, “What are alligators?”
Tons of folks on social media have a problem with the clue … the general feeling being it’s making light of Gabby’s homicide and Brian subsequently dodging a nationwide manhunt.

Laundrie killed Gabby in Wyoming last year while the former couple was on a cross-country road trip. Law enforcement never found him alive … his remains were ultimately found in a Florida nature preserve where he killed himself.
