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!"

Cooking shows get the chop as controversies leave a bitter taste
For years they have been the toast of television: mouth-wateringly wholesome fun, cheap to make and often a sure-fire ratings hit. But new data, coupled with a string of high-profile controversies, suggest cookery shows are starting to leave a bitter taste with producers as the number of food and drink programmes commissioned by major broadcasters begins to plummet. In February, allegations of inappropriate behaviour involving the celebrity TV chef Gino D'Acampo and spanning more than 12 years became public, forcing ITV to drop all forthcoming shows featuring the star. In recent weeks, MasterChef became mired in controversy and, while the future of the show is secure, BBC bosses are hunting for two new presenters after they opted against renewing the contracts of Gregg Wallace and John Torode amid allegations of misconduct. Separately, Nadiya Husain, a BBC cooking stalwart, has criticised the broadcaster after it terminated its long run of 14 shows with her since she won The Great British Bake Off in 2015. 'The BBC has decided that it didn't want to commission the show, and I suppose for me that was a huge turning point because it's something I have done for past ten years,' she said. Now, an analysis of the sector by Broadcast Intelligence, a service offered by the TV industry magazine, has revealed that only 12 shows have been ordered over the first seven months of the year, down from 42 last year and a high of 100 in 2019. Though forthcoming shows being made include Jamie Oliver's Eat Yourself Healthy for Channel 4 and a second serving of Tom Kerridge's Secrets of the Pub Kitchen for Food Network, producers say that the well worn 'chop and chat' format is coming to an end. 'Traditional recipe shows have been 'eaten' by TikTok,' said one producer. Others noted that the number of shows being commissioned by broadcasters is down across the board, with cookery shows a casualty of wider declines, despite the ongoing draw of food programming. 'People are lazy and don't know how to cook but continue to watch them as a form of escapism,' said Steven D Wright, a veteran producer. He said there was a desire among commissioners to 'reinvent' cookery show beyond traditional competitions, how-to shows and food-based travelogues. 'There's a bit of navel-gazing going on at the moment. These shows are bankers for a reason — because audiences like people making delicious food in a lovely setting — but they have changed shape,' he said. 'Do we need any more Mary Berrys or Nigellas doing pieces to camera?' Plans to reinvigorate food programming are, however, under way with ambitious forthcoming food formats include a Michelin-star themed documentary for Apple TV+ and a Harry Potter-inspired format for Warner Bros Discovery. Apple TV's Knife Edge: Chasing Michelin Stars is executive produced by Gordon Ramsay and will follow Jesse Burgess, the co-founder and presenter of social media brand Topjaw. In the eight-part series Burgess will follow the fates of elite chefs at some of the world's most celebrated restaurants to determine if they will win, maintain or lose their precious Michelin star. Warner Bros Discovery's cookery competition Harry Potter: Wizards of Baking has been given a second series, following a debut run that reached more than 16 million viewers globally following its launch in November. The show aired on Amazon Prime in the UK and featured James and Oliver Phelps, who played Fred and George Weasley in the films, as they tasked nine teams of pastry chefs and cake artists with crafting edible showpieces inspired by moments and themes from the Potter universe.
