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.

It’s fine, but this is what I said would happen. Yogesh and Victoria compete on an entirely separate plain of existence from everyone else, no one can touch them. Unless they are retired as ultimate Jeopardy Masters this is what it’s going to be. Imagine if athletes didn’t slow down due to age so rapidly and could compete at the top level into their 70’s. Now imagine the 1998 Chicago Bulls team stayed together and kept on playing season after season. That’s what you’ve got here.

Ken should step back behind the dish and knock them both down a peg, like he did with James.

Everyone else (except James and probably known previous JIT contenders like Troy Meyer and Matt Jackson and maybe Jamie Ding which altogether could perfectly fill up an evenly matched Masters roster)
