The guy in the middle looked extremely upset he lost

Facts about the 2024 Tournament of Champions: -The players who dominated in their original run lost in the quarterfinals -Cris Pannullo was the 7th superchampion to lose in the quarterfinals and the 4th not to advance to the semifinals -Ray Lalonde was the 8th superchampion to lose in the quarterfinals and the 5th not to advance to the semifinals -Every semifinal player in the middle podium advanced to the finals -Troy's wife Genevieve originally played on the show in 2009 -Troy's wife and Amy Schneider's wife have the same name (both Troy and Amy also had a nearly identical 5-day total) -Troy Meyer's Daily Double wager of $21,800 in game 2 is the third highest in Jeopardy history and the highest non-Holzhauer wager -Troy Meyer's score of $46,800 was the highest score heading into Final Jeopardy was the highest score in the tournament -Yogesh Raut's second place score of $40,800 in game 2 was one of the highest second place scores all season -Ben Chan, who made all of his victories a runaway in his initial appearance, trailed every game of the finals -Ben Chan's victories in the finals were both won by $1 -Games 4 and 6 of the TOC were extremely rare moments when the player heading into Final Jeopardy was the sum of his two challengers -Troy Meyer and Yogesh Raut played more games in the Tournament than in their initial games

Troy dominated Jeopardy & Double Jeopardy, Ben dominated Final Jeopardy, but Yogesh was the steadiest and bet the smartest in Final Jeopardy.

What a great TOC, worth the wait for sure!

Everyone’s favorite wins the TOC! **says no one ever** 😂😂😂😂

Congratulations yogesh on winning $250,000 on the jeopardy tournament of champions well done see you on jeopardy masters in may

If you had to invite one of the three finalist for dinner, who would you choose ? My choice would be Ben. He is the most relaxed and affable. Troy seems sickly and Yogesh just insufferable !

@manodakshin6020

My choice would also be Ben or Troy. Definitely not Yogesh because Yogesh treated the 2024 tournament of champions like it was a whole grudge match instead of displaying any positive spirit.

Never have been so glad to see a Jeopardy competition end. There was a reason all of these contestants were not in a first run off championships. Instead they created a second chance, due to a lot of reasons. Looking forward to new blood,.

The third place finisher’s face really broke my heart. He looked just crushed.

@@frankcross6958 sure he should have - it was the most likely best wager. A player can't know if he's going to know Final Jeopardy or if another player is going to know it. Both of your comments make sense, but they are just conclusions we can make after the fact, knowing who go it right and who didn't

Questions (answers) like this are why Jeopardy is so good: there are enough tidbits in the clue that you can work it out if you think about it. It's not a binary of I know it or I don't.

Really wished the contestants won 2 games each before revealing the ultimate winner the next day. Overall, great rounds and congrats Yogesh!

Captain Saru, I just can't unsee that now.

The applause was very polite-like.

I was rooting for Troy, but the last wager was a bad wager. He was guaranteed to win if he had more time to think through the scenario. Here's why. 1. Because Ben had 2 wins, Yogesh goal was to NOT lose to Ben. 2. Since Yogesh was only focused on NOT LOSING to BEN, his ONLY sensible play is to bet $3201 because that allows him to beat Troy by 1 and NOT lose the TOC to Ben. If he's wrong. Because obviously Ben would double his score. 3. Knowing that's the goal, Troy should've bet $2. There's no value in risking what he risked because under no circumstance would Yogesh bet that much to pass him. This is why I love jeopardy! There's some game theory in these final wagers.

If Troy bet $0, this would force Game 7 to declare who will win TOC 2024. It's too bad Ben missed the second Daily Double in the second round, as he would bet $2000. Since it would declare Ben to win $250.000 if he’d got the response correct. For contestants finding Daily Double and making it into the next Tournament of Champions in 2026, please don’t risk it all, as it may be shown Jeopardy contestants don’t know the category if either the first or second contender gets it wrong or not.

@davidlegler2744

It's not quite that simple. While it is true that Yogesh wouldn't risk losing to Ben, Yogesh could have bet up to $10,199 and still stayed ahead of Ben even if Ben gets it right. To cover this scenario, Troy would have had to bet at least $7000 which would have dropped him to $12,800 which is still slightly 1:33 below where Yogesh ended up. Yogesh was simply in a strong position - there was no way for Troy to cover all the possible bets of Yogesh and still win if they both missed.

Sometimes second best gets you the first spot!

Yeah, I knew the answer 🎉

Did Ben have to wager all of it in that final Daily Double??

he still had a chance to win in final. if Yogesh had wagered enough, and he and the leader at that missed Final Jeopardy, ben still could have won

@DavidHutchinson0713

Ай бұрын

Troy's score was the sum of Yogesh and Ben's scores combined; if he wanted to win without a tiebreaker, Troy's best bet was to cover Yogesh; but by doing so, instead of trying for a tie, he put himself one dollar below Ben should he fail to respond correctly. As such, in order to nab the win himself, Ben had to wager all of his money. In fact, it was Yogesh who underwagered; the conventional wisdom would have been for him to bet everything as well, in the hopes that Troy would wager for a tie instead and that they both get Final right, sending them to a tiebreaker. Had that been the case, and their FJ answers remain the same, Yogesh would have dropped to $0, and thus Ben would have won the game, and the tournament, by a dollar.

Totally confused. Not by the clue, but haven't we been watching semifinals of something or other for ever and ever? If this was the finals of the current TOC, what are those the semifinals of? I guess I'll just concentrate on trying to come up with the right answer. I'm abroad, so I can't see whole episodes except in pirated uploads, which I refuse to watch. Are Final Jeopardy! segments being shown out of order? Anyway, very good clue.

Yea, Yogesh.

Shouldn't the bet be the amount to end up with $1 MORE than double what the third player can wager? This has occurred quite often lately. These Smarty Pants should include more quick math skills with their trivia reviews. That two bucks just cost fifty thousand.

This ToC goes to Yogesh!

I guessed it.

Spoiler below: Say what you want about Yogesh, but he came storming back with two wins in a row and a smart wager to take it home. If Ben had won, it would’ve been among the biggest comebacks in tournament history, and I would’ve loved to see that. I will say that we will get to see the James vs Yogesh rivalry that we never saw off camera in Masters, so that will be fun. Congrats to Yogesh (whether he deserved it or not) and to Ben and Troy for a great tournament.

As just a three game winner, Yogesh really didn’t belong in the TOC. Based on comments producer Michael Davies made on Inside Jeopardy, I think he included Yogesh to provide a villain to draw ratings.

Ugh, very disappointing outcome. Honestly, the ONLY outcome of the 2024 Tournament of Champions I didn’t want to see. I would love to see a potential “Holzhauer vs Yogesh” grudge match in the 2024 Masters just for James Holzhauer to get his revenge against Yogesh. If James Holzhauer decimates Yogesh in the Masters (He better!), James Holzhauer’s professionalism and charming personality will be the perfect foil to Yogesh Raut’s rude and offensive humor, violent buzzer slams, and egregiously unsportsmanlike behavior.
