Jeopardy! fans have been getting tired of bad gameplay lately. However, after this past week’s shows, they have another reason to complain. An answer given by defending champion Amar Kakirde was wrong, and Ken Jennings called it wrong. However, production reversed the decision during the commercial break.
Here is what fans had to say about the changing of the result to what was considered a “wrong answer.”
Fans Angry That Amar Kakirde Got Call Reversed
Amar Kakirde has been the most recent Jeopardy! champion, but one of his answers has caused controversy among the fans. This is because even Ken Jennings told him he was wrong. However, the production team reversed the decision and gave it to Amar anyway.
Amar Kakirde chose the category “Date of Birth” for $400. The clue said, “Jan. 3, 2009, with the mining of the Genesis block.” The answer was “What is Bitcoin?” No one said that.

Ken Jennings bid farewell to Grant DeYoung this past week. Grant had won four games in a row and then he lost before his fifth win. However, Ken believes that Jeopardy! fans have not seen the last of the former champion. According to Ken, he expects to see Grant back at the Tournament of Champions.
Fans seemed confused at this statement, but it makes sense based on recent history.
Ken Jennings Expects Grant DeYoung In Jeopardy! Tournament Of Champions
Grant DeYoung won four games in a row on Jeopardy! and Ken Jennings feels that is enough to warrant him a spot in the Tournament of Champions. However, after making these comments, many fans wondered how that was possible. Fans believed that five wins was the mark needed to make the Toc.
Grant lost on Tuesday, which ended his four-day winning streak. His total winnings were $81,203 when he finished in second place on his fifth game.

Jeopardy! fans have a lot of complaints about the recent Masters tournament. Much of the complaints are about Yogesh Raut, who has come across as arrogant to many fans with his style of gameplay. Now, Yogesh has done something that might prove fans’ opinions of him are correct.
Here is what Yogesh said to Ken Jennings, and how the Jeopardy! host got back at him for it.
Yogesh Corrects Ken Jennings On Camera
Yogesh was competing in Jeopardy! The Masters when he stopped host Ken Jennings and corrected his pronunciation of a word. The word was “Everest.”
The clue was: “In 1823, this eponymous man was elevated to superintendent of the survey of India.” When Yogesh answered “Everest,” he pronounced it as “Ee-ver-est.” Ken said that Yogesh was right and pronounced it as “Ever-est.” Yogesh immediately fired back, “He pronounced it Ee-ver-est.”

Victoria Groce handily defeated self-proclaimed “final boss” James Holzhauer and 2024 Tournament of Champions winner Yogesh Raut to become Jeopardy! Masters champion on Wednesday (May 22) and is now opening up about her experience. The Chase star took to the Jeopardy! Reddit forum on Thursday (May 23) for an Ama (Ask Me Anything), where she opened up about her favorite TV shows, how she practiced her buzzer technique, and the shock she felt about being asked back on Jeopardy! Before being invited to (and winning) the Jeopardy! Invitational Tournament, Groce had only played two games of Jeopardy! almost 20 years ago. In 2005, she ended David Madden’s impressive run of 19 games but lost in her second episode. However, since then, Groce has become a formidable figure in the trivia community, and in 2022, she joined ABC’s game show The Chase as “The Queen.” But even with those credentials, Groce said she never expected to...

Jeopardy! Masters finalist James Holzhauer is “bummed” after losing his title.

Raut took home a cash prize of $250,000. Holzhauer also went on to express his disappointment in not having won the prize. He intended...

Masters has ended with a new champion of champions taking the top prize. On Wednesday night’s finale, Victoria Groce, Yogesh Raut, and James Holzhauer competed in two back-to-back, total score games to find out who was the true master of this trio, and one contestant closed with a decisive lead that left no doubt.

Here’s how it all went down. Game One The first round was a spirited affair, featuring a category with special guest Jason Kelce and some friendly sidechats about the proper pronunciation of proper nouns like Everest and Salt ‘N Pepa.

The semifinals have just begun on Jeopardy! Masters and it’s already a nail-biter. On Friday night’s episode, the match point slates were wiped clean for the four semifinalists — Victoria Groce, Yogesh Raut, James Holzhauer, and Amy Schneider — which meant they all had an equal chance coming into this leg of the competition to advance to the finals. However, one contestant got off to a very rocky start indeed, and it remains to be seen whether they’ll be able to bounce back from such a severe stumble. Here’s a look at everything that happened on the first night of Jeopardy! Masters semifinals. Game One This game saw James Holzhauer, Yogesh Raut, and Victoria Groce in competition. Things got off to a bright start for Groce, who previously led the pack in the initial rounds. First, she got the first Daily Double (wagering and winning $3,600 on Stanford Benet...

Coming into the sixth night of Jeopardy! Masters Season 2, there were a couple of foregone conclusions: Victoria Groce (with 13 match points) and Yogesh Raut (with 10) were already qualified to play in the semifinals; unless James Holzhauer (who had 6) got shut out again, he was likely to advance as well; it was bound to be a close contest between Amy Schneider and Mattea Roach (also 5) for that fourth spot; and Matt Amodio (with just 1 single match point) had zero chance of playing past Wednesday night’s games. So how did the sextet of champions fare in the final night of Masters games? Here’s a look at the highlights. Game Eleven Raut, Holzhauer, and Amodio were matched up for their final “regular” game of this season, but, as mentioned above, the latter was necessarily going to come in sixth (still taking home a healthy $50k prize for his troubles), and Holzhauer...

By virtually any metric, Matt Amodio is one of the most successful quiz show contestants of all time.
The Medina, Ohio native, who now works as a quantitative researcher in New York, burst onto the trivia scene in 2021 with a commanding performance on American game show institution Jeopardy! Amodio would go on to dot his name all over the hallowed Jeopardy! record books, winning 38 consecutive games (third most all time), taking in $1,518,601 in prize-winnings (also third most all time), and finishing third in the inaugural Jeopardy!

At the start of Jeopardy! Masters Season 2, Season 1 champ James Holzhauer declared that he was the “final boss” of the entire competition, but so far, it’s been the Victoria Groce show, through and through. In the third night of competition — for Games 5 and 6 on Wednesday, May 8 — Groce once again took the lead and held it. And although it wasn’t a runaway this time (for the first time in Masters‘ second season so far), she still had a commanding performance. So is Victoria Groce the new “final boss” of this season? Well, there’s still a lot of gameplay to go, but she’s off to a good start. Coming into the night, the tallies of match powers were: Victoria Groce in 1st place with 6, James Holzhauer in 2nd place with 4, Yogesh Raut in third place with 4 (because of the tiebreaker being the number of correct responses), Matt Amodio...

Jeopardy! super-champ Amy Schneider is ready to respond head-on to criticism about her inclusion in the current Masters tournament. Season 2 of Jeopardy! Masters kicked off last week with six of the game’s most elite players battling it out for the coveted title and $500,000 grand prize. Those competing include reigning Masters champ James Holzhauer, last year’s runners-up Matt Amodio & Mattea Roach, 2024 Tournament of Champions winner Yogesh Raut, and Jeopardy! Invitational Tournament winner Victoria Groce. The sixth and final spot went to Schneider as a Producers’ Pick, despite placing fifth in Masters Season 1 and losing the Jit! to Groce. Some fans felt the spot should have gone to someone else who hasn’t had as many opportunities as Schneider. “We just saw her in Jit, whats the point if she can lose that and just move on anyways,” said one commenter on the Jeopardy! Reddit forum when the line-up was first announced.
