Host Warwick Davis asked the team to name 10 seven-letter countries beginning with the letters G to L.
But things quickly went downhill when Georgia, the contestant, missed a very obvious one.
Despite her name literally being one of the answers, she failed to clock the connection and guessed another country instead.
The glaring blunder left viewers shouting at their screens.
Fans flooded social media in disbelief, with one saying: "What was on her mind..."
Another wrote: "Her name is literally a 7-letter country starting with G😂😂"
Meanwhile, Warwick has begged TV bosses to bring back his gameshow, after ITV cancelled it earlier this year in a move that shocked fans.
The 54-year-old is mostly known for his roles in major blockbuster films, including the Harry Potter and Star Wars franchises.
Bosses originally chose him to front the knowledge show in 2016 until its axing in August.

The movie star was left absolutely devastated by the decision as he loved hosting the programme.
He now thinks there might be scope for a potential revival, after seeing how upset the fans were over the decision.
Warwick told The Daily Star: "Presenting Tenable was one of my favourite things to do.
"I loved the show. People tell me they still watch old episodes now and enjoy it.
Hardest Quiz Show Questions
Would you know the answers to some of quizzing TV's hardest questions
Who Wants To Be A Millionaire - Earlier this year, fans were left outraged after what they described as the "worst" question in the show's history. Host Jeremy Clarkson asked: 'From the 2000 awards ceremony onwards, the Best Actress Oscar has never been won by a woman whose surname begins with which one of these letters?' The multiple choice answers were between G, K, M and W. In the end, and with the £32,000 safe, player Glen had to make a guess and went for G. It turned out to be correct as Nicole Kidman, Frances McDormand and Kate Winslet are among the stars who have won the Best Actress gong since 2000.
The 1% Club - Viewers of Lee Mack's popular ITV show were left dumbfounded by a question that also left the players perplexed. The query went as follows: "Edna's birthday is on the 6th of April and Jen's birthday falls on the 15th of October, therefore Amir's birthday must be the 'X' of January." It turns out the conundrum links the numbers with its position in the sentence, so 6th is the sixth word and 15th is the fifteenth word. Therefore, Amir's birthday is January 24th, corresponding to the 24th word in the sentence.
The Chase - The ITV daytime favourite left fans scratching their heads when it threw up one of the most bizarre questions to ever grace the programme. One of the questions asked the player: "Someone with a nightshade intolerance should avoid eating what?" The options were - sweetcorn, potatoes, carrots - with Steve selecting sweetcorn but the correct answer was potatoes.
"I feel like I should video people on my phone when they say, 'We miss Tenable' and then send them to ITV!"
Warwick knows that he would need to make the commercial case to the higher ups at the channel.
He admits that a potential revival would hinge on getting high ratings and bringing in a large profit.
The actor added: "The landscape of television has changed immensely with all the streaming services now.
"Unless you can pull in the advertisers, you can't get a show on.
"One day it may become apparent that Tenable is viable once again. Maybe we could even do a Tenable film one day!"
