for season 2, which premiered on september 23, 2015, the show changed to allow each episodes winner to return for the next episode as the returning champion; however, if a game ended with all three players finishing with 0 points, it would result in three new players competing the next episode. this is the same format followed by "jeopardy!", in which they could compete indefinitely unless beaten; a tie between two or three players with at least 1 point would result in a sudden-death answer playoff, in a pre-determined category. this was to allow the show to be seen as more easily binge-watched. under the returning champions format, four contestants won 5 consecutive games, including 15 day champion vinny varadarajan, 8 day champion earl holland, 6 day champion eric park, and 5 day champion roy hollis, with no tournament or final announced on-air for top winning contestants as of the most recent episodes.
