Most of the entries on this page seem to be complaining about contestants not getting clues right. I admit, there are quite a lot of these that I'd have not gotten right myself, because trivia being what it is, not everyone is going to know everything. (for instance, the November 28th, 2018 clue at the very bottom seems quite inconsequential). Hell, I got quite a few of these wrong, including the 2014 Kids' Week example (and I know quite a few adults, even in the J! fandom, who got it wrong too). One of the entries was of a misplay by freaking Watson, an Artificial Intelligence who played the game in two experimental episodes! Again, not everyone knows everything, and most of this page seems to be complaining about not getting right what seems like an easy clue to the writer of the entry.

Should the page be trimmed to just the most obvious and egregious ones (for instance, ones that were acknowledged in-show or in the media for their blatant wrongness)? Cut entirely? There are a few other Game Show subpages despite the No Real Life Examples, Please! nature of What an Idiot!, but this one caught my attention since it seemed to be the most messed up.

To me this sounds like something that should be handled by discussion page discussion, not TRS.
