"Hey Kelly! (this is Kyle) Congrats again on the win! Playing against you and Rishabh was super tough but still a ton of fun. I'm excited to watch next week and I'll be rooting for you to go on a long winning streak (and not just so I can say I lost to two multi-day champs!)."
Another fan, jaysjep2, shared,

Another trivia show fan, godsuave, shared,
"Bring it! Congratulations on the win! You're such a joy to watch and I'm looking forward to your next game!"
Another Jeopardy! fan reginaomnis shared,
"Congrats to Kelly! Librarians represent! I get the association between "librarian" and "book-lover", but I hope people aren't getting the impression from Ken's comments that reading a lot is an active part of the job lol."
A fan of Kelly, JeevesBun, shared,
"Great game, and hopefully reassuring for Rishabh to know that there was genuinely nothing more he could have done (with regard to both getting FJ right and betting the most he could). He played his very best, but Kelly earned that victory! She's definitely another champ I'd like to see go far!"
Kelly Gates - Jeopardy!'s newest champion
The game started with Kelly's three correct answers, which, after 15 clues, earned her $2,000. After 30 clues, when the Jeopardy round ended, Kelly had given ten correct answers and no incorrect answers.
Further, on the show, Kelly made a profit of $4,000. That was the turning point of the game show, as her winning moments started from then only. The next was the Double Jeopardy round. Kelly correctly answered both questions, where she wagered $4,000.
As all three players moved forward into the Final Jeopardy, Kelly had a total of $13,200. After the final round ended, it was converted to $23,201. She led with just one dollar against her competitor, Rishabh, who had a total of $23,200.
After witnessing such an epic competition, fans congratulated Kelly, and many of them, after finding Kelly on Reddit's Jeopardy discussion board, shared their views.
