What a great TOC, worth the wait for sure!

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

I thought it was the "nads"

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

I hope Ben gets to go to the masters tournament. He was so close to winning. He definitely deserved to win the most out of the three

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,.

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 !

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

damn. 1st place ahead of 2nd by the same amount that 3rd had. that had a chance to be even more interesting if Yogesh had wagered everything (or enough to put him below double 3rd's amount)

Got this before he was done reading it; to be fair I work in Healthcare and had this gland pounded into my head by my A&P teacher 20 years ago!

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

I said Pituitary Gland too. And I’m a nurse. 😬

The applause was very polite-like.

Those cute men are so adorably awkward at the end

Sometimes second best gets you the first spot!

anyone creating a compilation of world's awkwardest hugs?

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.

Feel bad for troy. All he had to do was wager 0 in FJ. Rly wanted a game 7! all 3 were great but yogesh was unbelievable with his nonstop clicking of the buzzer lol. What is jeopardy masters, previous ToC winners?

My heart goes out to Cpt. Saru coming in third. I didn't do much better.

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!

Yeah, I knew the answer 🎉

Yea, Yogesh.

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.

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

*Yogesh may have won but Troy appears to be the People's Champ. Ben seems to be his own champion and i like that.*

ben is knowlegable

That last hug by Yogesh was VERRRY interesting...😚

Hey, folks. I guess that's it.

I got this Final Jeopardy! clue right.

Got this one immediately. Congrats to Yogesh Raut for winning the ToC! Great sportsmanship from all 3 players!

This ToC goes to Yogesh!

Comment to prevent spoilers.

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.

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.

2024 Masters Tournament tracker: -James Holzhauer, 32 game champion and winner of the first Masters Tournament -Mattea Roach, 23 game champion -Matt Amodio, 38 game champion All of whom were finalists in the first Masters Tournament -Yogesh Raut, winner of the 2024 Tournament of Champions

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.

I guessed it.

I would have guessed Adam's Apple 🍎 & been ... wrong ! 👎

That was a really easy question 😅

Are we going to start having regular Jeopardy now?

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.

Thymus that correct, yogesh you are tournament of champion, congratulations 🎉
