‘Jeopardy!’ Fans Drool Over Sexy New Competitor

Jeopardy! fans drooled over a sexy new competitor. They got excited when they got some man candy in the latest episode. Twitter was filled with thirst tweets. Meanwhile, champ Ryan Long won his 16th straight game on Friday, June 3.

However, that wasn’t the only thing that fans were talking about. They noticed a sexy new player who joined the game. The contestant caught their attention and had them buzzing about him. Viewers want to know more about him after the episode aired.

Champ Ryan Long wins 16 games

Jeopardy! champ Ryan Long won his 16th consecutive game. The rideshare driver from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania earned a total of $299,400 on Friday’s show. Fans have enjoyed watching him on the show since last month. They love his wholesome stories and gameplay.

Mayim Bialik has been hosting the game show for the fourth week now. Ken Jennings took a break from the podium. In early May, he informed fans that he would be taking a break from his hosting responsibilities. Jennings is expected to return to the show in early July.

Some Jeopardy! fans have been missing him lately. Others are boycotting the recent episodes. They argued that they refuse to watch Ryan Long until Jennings returns. However, that’s not up to them since Jennings wanted to take a break and travel across the country.

Some fans noticed that he may have quietly left the country. As TV Shows Ace previously reported, Jennings may have left the show temporarily to perform with the London Orchestra. The television personality can perform a mean bassoon. The full-time hosting position will be revealed by the end of Season 38 in July 2022.

In the meantime, fans will have to wait to see what happens. It’s hard to tell whether Bialik or Jennings will end up with the coveted position. That position almost went to Mike Richards, who stepped down amid his controversial behavior and comments. At the time, some fans salivated over the former producer.

Jeopardy! fans get thirsty over new contestant

Jeopardy! fans took to Twitter to lust over a new person. This time it was a contestant who caught their eye. Wyatt Yankus made an appearance on Friday’s episode. He works as a Washington DC policy analyst. Most fans flocked to Twitter to talk about the sexy new contestant.

• “Ummm hello Wyatt.”
• “So, methinks #Wyatt will be the next guy subjected to several thirst tweets.”
• “I love it when the hot guy on Jeopardy is gay. Hot. Nerdy. Gay. Ohhh yes.”
• “Haha ladies. Wyatt’s taken.”

During the Q&A round, Wyatt revealed that he’s married. The two got married at an indoor waterpark. They even dressed up in their suits for their big day. Wyatt became a fixture on the show, as well as Ryan, but for a different reason. Ryan got Final Jeopardy correct, putting him on the map of champions.
