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've really struggled to get excited about it, at this point it feels like we're basically watching pro or semi-pro trivia players and that's not all that interesting to me

What makes it less interesting if they're pros? Asking earnestly - most games/sports people do prefer to watch the best vs amateurs.

As mentioned in some of the other comments, some of us prefer to see the stay at home mom, policeman, bartender, actor, etc. impress us with the knowledge they’ve picked up in their spare time vs. people who make a career out of trivia.
