Jeopardy's New Champion Fans are talking about Bevin Blaber's lively stage presence.

If you watch Jeopardy! on a daily basis, you are aware that fans are quick to express their opinions. They certainly had something to say about contender Bevin Blaber. Blaber, a writer from Schenectady, New York, immediately emerged as the show's new champion after winning the special Juneteenth episode. Blaber's propensity of rocking back and forth and moving around a lot sparked conversation among viewers. Some fans even claimed it made them "dizzy."

Blaber faced off against Jacob Hale of Anchorage, Alaska, and Vivek Upadhyay of Princeton, New Jersey. She earned $600 following a particularly difficult Final Jeopardy question. Upadhyay finished with $2, while Hale, the incumbent champion at the time, finished with $0. Aside from that agonizing last question, Blaber's continual mobility throughout the show was a major draw for many people. She moved the entire time she was on stage.

Her movements were easily identifiable, particularly during the "Brooklyn Neighborhoods" category. She swung from side to side. She also bent down little to press the buzzer. Blaber would only cease swaying when she didn't know the answer to a riddle. She even moved her buzzer about as she responded. Blaber shook her head when the Final Jeopardy riddle came up. She raised her hand to her mouth when she wasn't sure what to say. She even shrugged as the other players remained motionless with straight faces. When host Ken Jennings showed her response, Blaber rocked back and forth and made big faces when she got it wrong. When Blaber won, she pumped her fist and covered her mouth. She also gave a short bow from her podium. Blaber may have been thrilled or nervous, but other fans found it distracting.
