Neilesh was crowned champion after wrapping up Illinois government relations manager Jay Fischer’s three-day season on Friday.
He successfully defended his title on Monday in what host Ken Jennings declared was a “dominant performance” against Spanish teacher Sean Duffle and Monica Anderson, a master control operator.
“He knows a lot of things,” one person praised his performance on the official Jeopardy! Facebook page. “I hope he continues to grow in confidence and self-belief.”
Another wrote: “Guess he got over his nerves, huh?”
A third fan predicted: “Neilesh looked nervous for a while during Friday’s episode before taking control of the game. It looks like that nervousness is gone and the rest of this week’s contestants may have had a tough time.”
“This champion is already one of my favorites,” said one comment. “He knows ‘real’ things like literature, art and music rather than pop culture and modern television.”
Another viewer added: “He was so nervous at the beginning. I felt so sorry for him. I’m glad he’s winning. I hope he keeps going.”
Neilesh narrowly claimed a third victory on Tuesday after one of his opponents made a fatal mistake that cost him the game.
Entering the game with $41,000, Neilesh faced off against New York writer Lindsay Denninger and Michigan PhD student Tim Herd last night.
At the end of Jeopardy! round, Neilesh won $6,600 and was behind Lindsay with $9,600.
Meanwhile, Tim’s winnings totaled $3,600.
After Lindsay incorrectly guessed the second Daily Double on Double Jeopardy! round, Neilesh was in the lead with $19,000.
Lindsay had $13,000 and Tim, who only won $2,400, was eliminated from the game.
The Final Jeopardy category was revealed to be “HISTORY POINTS,” with “OK Corral” being the correct answer.

Although none of the contestants got it right, Lindsay bet a dangerously high $8,000, which significantly diminished her chances of beating Neilesh.
In the end, he secured his third win in a row despite losing $7,001, bringing his total to $53,099 before Wednesday’s episode.
Fans noted that Lindsay posed a real risk to Neilesh’s sequel, with one Reddit user writing that she “could have won with a small bet.”
“Lindsay…what was that bet?” asked another, commenting on a game thread. “Despite that, I would probably recommend her for a second chance. Especially if Neilesh goes for a long run.”
A third wondered: “What was wrong with that? Her only win was betting very low, 1,000 or less. So you’re betting that he got it wrong and didn’t bet 0. Is a $0 bet the suggested bet there?” “
In response, one person explained: “The leader almost always bets to cover a double-up from second place. So the best bet is to get ahead of what they will get from that bet if they get it wrong. So limit it to $ 1,000.”
“This was a case where I think Lindsay forgot to ask herself, ‘Wait, what if we both mess up?’” he reflected in the episode.
“To be fair to her, it’s very difficult to rationalize taking the game out of your own hands, even if (as in this case or certain three-player scenarios) it’s perfectly logical if it’s not the correct play,” they continued. . “Neilesh was playing lights out yesterday and, despite Lindsay’s best effort, had a big lead today; it’s just not that big.”
The final episode of the ongoing season of Jeopardy! It will end on Friday.
