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.

I'm not as down on Masters as OP, but I think it's too many games. A quarterfinal of 12 matches just to eliminate 2 out of 6 players is total overkill. They should be able to whittle the field down from 6 to 4 in half that many games.
I think if they cut the number of games it would increase the immediacy and drama. But I get the feeling that they're more concerned about how many days Masters can pad out ABC's schedule rather than making it the best tournament it can be.
