As a seasoned gamer and devoted Jeopardy fan, I can’t help but feel a pang of anticipation mixed with a touch of envy as I wait for the fall TV schedule to roll around and bring new episodes of Jeopardy!. The recent Tournament of Champions has left an indelible mark on my gaming spirit, with the inimitable Yogesh Raut standing tall among the champions we root for.
For enthusiasts of Jeopardy!, the summertime can be quite challenging due to the extended period before fresh episodes air in the fall TV lineup. However, it’s comforting to know that new episodes are already being filmed, which means we won’t have to wait much longer to cheer on our next set of champions. Although Yogesh Raut, the most recent Tournament of Champions winner, may not be easily forgotten by fans anytime soon – particularly after his graceful responses to criticisms regarding his buzz-in techniques.
Despite not clinching a victory in the second Jeopardy Masters tournament, Raut managed an impressive second place finish, ensuring his return for the third installment when it airs on ABC. Upon his comeback, he plans to maintain his buzzer strategy and Q&A narrative style, as stated during an interview with The U.S. Sun. The intellectual discussed both his victories and defeats in detail, addressing the part of the fanbase that was particularly vocal about his button-pressing technique.
I don’t believe I invested much effort into it. If others find it amusing, that’s up to them; if they find it enjoyable, it’s a TV show, and that’s acceptable. Perhaps if I had altered it, the result might not have been as good. It’s difficult for me to imagine that I could have done better.
For those unaware, Yogesh Raut is known for being particularly energetic and active during Jeopardy! games, as he frequently uses his buzzer with enthusiasm. Unlike some contestants who keep their buzzers hidden, Raut often grips the buzzer like a video game controller, sometimes even pressing it rapidly with both hands.
It’s quite a change from the norm, but to his point, it’s not exactly unsuccessful. And had he shifted his techniques simply because viewers were rude about it, he might have doomed his chances. Instead, he went from being a three-game champ to the overall TOC winner. And as he continued, Yogesh Raut reflected some hilarious criticism right back at the fandom for obsessing over his style of play. As he put it:
As a gamer, I’m baffled when folks expect me to alter my gaming style just because they find my interaction with an in-game character or item offensive. It’s quite odd when people judge a fellow human based on their empathy towards something as lifeless as a game object.
Indeed, fans of Jeopardy! are often quite discerning, frequently expressing criticism about various aspects, including Drew Basile, the Season 40 champion and potential Tournament of Champions contestant, who has encountered a fair share of negative comments regarding his self-praising demeanor among other things. However, these same fans can be relentless in scrutinizing the Clue Crew for errors on the board and criticizing Ken Jennings and judges for approving some answers while disregarding others. It’s a challenging environment for anyone working on the Jeopardy! team.

Because Yogesh participates in numerous games, it allows fans to express multiple critical opinions about his buzzer behavior. If he were a poor player or unsuccessful at responding quickly, he likely wouldn’t be participating in as many games. The anticipation builds for the individual who will finally summon the courage to use their face and buzz in.
Although it remains uncertain how the Tournament of Champions will unfold with several Season 40 female victors returning, it is evident that Yogesh Raut refuses to be deterred by any external opinions and continues his ascent towards becoming one of Jeopardy!’s top winners, albeit not quite in the Top 10 bracket at this moment.
Starting this autumn, Season 41 of the popular quiz show “Jeopardy!” will air on syndication. Make sure to look up your local listings for more specific information. In the meantime, Colin Jost is set to host “Pop Culture Jeopardy!”, a streaming version available exclusively to Amazon Prime subscribers.
