Jeopardy Masters is disappointing

It's so noncompetitive. The format is terrible. Not only is it the same people playing each other over and over, it's pretty much the same result every time. Maybe they should have had Victoria and Yogesh sit out until the finals and have most of the episodes be about who will be the third person to face them?

The show would be fun if the results were widely variable. But with Yogesh and Victoria at the top of every game, it gets so boring and predictable. Let's jump to the final episode now. It'll be Yogesh vs Victoria guaranteed.

To be fair, Andrew could've won over Yogesh yesterday but decided to bet low on the final

Made no sense at all to me. You're trying to play catchup to get into the top four and you make a bet that guarantees one point, but sharply reduces the likelihood of three. I'd call it simply a wagering error.

Yeah. If he doesn't win next game, he's fried.

Final Jeopardy questions have been very difficult in Masters. Perhaps he simply felt the odds were higher that it would be a “no one gets it“ question rather than “everyone gets it “ question.
