The latest Tournament of Champions on Jeopardy! has delivered many shocking moments.
Tuesday’s new episode was another for the books after Ben Chan comfortably beat out fellow champions Justin Bolsen and Emmett Stanton.
At the beginning of the high-octane installment, host Ken Jennings discussed how the 2024 Tournament of Champions has been the most “dramatic in history.”
Going into the episode, Chan was seen as a strong competitor, with nine initial wins. Still, given that many strong competitors had already lost their spot in the tournament, nothing was off the table.
From the jump, Chan had a comfortable lead, snagging a Daily Double at $7,000.
By the time we got to Double Jeopardy!, he had banked $11,400, compared to Bolsen’s $1,600 and Stanton’s $3,200.
Ben Chan’s victory was imminent
By the Final Jeopardy!, he had amassed $29,800, so it was inevitable he would be leaving with the win and advance to the semifinals.

Jeopardy! Tournament of the Champions has been firing from all cylinders, with countless power shifts that have changed the trajectory of the competition.
Things took quite the turn on Friday with an episode that some fans felt was “weird” and “unpredictable,” depending on who you ask.
Brian Henegar, Josh Saak, and Stephen Webb faced off as the game went in various directions in a short time before one of them was crowned the winner.
Webb was nixed from the competition ahead of the final clue due to “flirting with negative amounts,” as host Ken Jennings put it.
It was not a good game for Webb.
One fan on the show’s Subreddit felt that the board “wasn’t too much in favor to the contestants.”
Webb’s performance stunned many fans
The fan affirmed that Webb is a “good player,” and they “felt bad that he ended up in the red.
