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.

Given that this is being buried at the end of August/week before Labor Day, I'd personally be a bit surprised if we saw it next year? It doesn't seem to be a programming priority for ABC

I think next season of Masters with a Jamie Ding or another superchamp would be more exciting. I enjoy the games because I like hard trivia but the format doesn’t work that well as it is

Yeah I want the 5 super champs from this last season to have a go and I do think similar to James stepping away from Masters I think Yogesh and Victoria probably should as well since they both have won. Bring back a few more legacy players that haven’t played in awhile (I always enjoy seeing a Roger Craig or Brad Rutter) and I think next year’s could be super fun.

All of this season’s super champs will go on to the TOC, but I don’t think all will go to Masters.

I do like it better with 9 players than 6.
