Jeopardy! champ Anji Nyquist blindsided by X-rated requests from fans who have dubbed her the 'hotte

JEOPARDY! contestant Anji Nyquist won July 5th's episode but got more than she bargained for from her brief appearance.

Anji told The U.S. Sun all about her winning experience that led to being bombarded by requests to create an OnlyFans account.

Anji, a Minnesota-based social media coordinator, won Jeopardy! on last Wednesday's episode in a moment that even surprised her.

She lept from third place to the new champ by being the only one correct on Final Jeopardy.

The clue read: "Nicknamed 'the kingdom in the sky,' this landlocked nation is the only country in the world to lie entirely above 4,000 feet."

Anji was the only one who could drum up "Lesotho," earning her $8800 and a priceless reaction when declared a winner, seen above.

“The whole Naz Reid thing blew up," Anji shared. "That’s been the most fun part of this."

We filmed this in May, and Naz Reid just signed a big contract, so there was a lot of Naz Reid news the week my episode aired.

"If you're a Naz Reid fan, you're a Naz Reid fan all year.”

'DMS FROM RANDOM MEN'

However, Anji's win wasn't the only part of her experience that came as a surprise.

She conducted an Instagram Q&A about her stint, and instead of asking about her viral cat or her money moves, quite a few people wanted her to create a page on the adult subscription website OnlyFans.

“I did an 'ask me anything,' and there were a lot of people who asked, ‘Would you do an OnlyFans? It would be really popular.’

“I mean, that's not my style, but it was flattering?

"You’re gonna get some nice people, and you’re gonna get some creeps. I have been getting DMs from random men.

“Most of it's just nice, ‘you’re so beautiful, you're the hottest contestant ever - which is so dumb."

The game show contestant continued: “Jeopardy! is about your brain and your performance in this scenario.

"It was flattering, though, because who likes seeing themselves on TV ever?”

“It was not what I was expecting, that's for sure.”

WINNING ADVICE

Anji first auditioned in July 2022 and has been watching the beloved game show since she was 13.

“The stage is so much smaller than I was expecting. The board and contestants aren't that far apart. And you're not that far from Ken, who is a hero of mine.

"Hearing him tell a tidbit about me on my second episode, I could have cried."

Anji also dished out advice to future contestants: “It’s so cold in that studio, and I'm already always cold.

“They warn you that it's cold but it's so cold. Bring something warm to wear even when you're not on stage.

"That’s definitely some advice I'd give- your shirt might be pretty but layer up."

To study up, Anji: “made some flashcards of planets, got a big kids book on the presidents, classic lit, opera, and I have a few old Jeopardy! board games, so I was going through the card decks of those with my boyfriend.”

'SPECIAL MEMORY'

Anji also opened up about why Jeopardy! means so much to her.

“Before my dad passed away, I lived with him and took care of him when he had dementia.

"We would watch together and it was when James Holzahuer was on his run," referring to the poker pro and Masters winner's monster 32-day streak in 2019.

“My dad would do the ‘all in’ motion with James, and he would cheer when he got them right so that's a special memory for me.
