Quiz contestant gets question wrong despite knowing answer

It’s always tough to answer questions under pressure, as we’ve seen time and time again on TV quiz shows.

But one contestant on Ahora Caigo, a Spanish version of US game show ‘Who’s Still Standing?’, was left red-faced when he got a question totally wrong – despite having the answer emblazoned across his shirt.

Hapless Alberto was asked ‘What is Steve Rogers in the Avengers?’,  and given multiple choices of ‘doctor’, ‘sir’ or ‘captain’.

Seeing the contestant struggle host Arturo Valls gestured wildly to Alberto’s Captain America, t-shirt but he appeared to have no clue.

Unfortunately for Alberto he failed massively when he opted for the incorrect ‘doctor’ leaving his fellow contestant Adrian and Arturo stunned.

The Spanish host laughed: ‘We wear these shirts and we do not know what we are wearing!’

Alberto’s clueless reaction caused a sensation when it was a shared on social media, with fans of the show taking to Twitter to mock him with one describing it as an ‘epic fail’.

Another tweeted in Spanish: ‘That shows that people are ignorant and buy clothes for fashion without knowing.’

‘Blind Captain America fans,’ joked a third.

In luck: Alberto's fellow contestant Adrian was equally stunned at Alberto's inability to answer the question

The aim of the quiz is to be the last person standing after answering a series of questions in different rounds for the prize pot of 100,000 Euros. 

Alberto’s fail wasn’t the only thing that caught the attention of the public, however. 

Luckily he managed to distract from the blunder by also proposing to his girlfriend as he appeared on the show. 

He got down on one knee as he posed the question to the camera, hoping that she was watching at home.  

Arturo pretended to wipe tears away from his eyes at the romantic gesture, while the audience applauded.
