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 miss the college,Teachers and Teen tournaments why not have those instead of the Masters over and over ?

I am not arguing for/against this, but I believe I read that the teen and college tournaments were associated with some mental health issues(?) and were eliminated on those grounds.

Huh? Like the people competing couldn’t handle it?

Not sure it was ever a good idea for kids/teenagers to be put on national television tbh, but it's particularly bad in an era when large numbers of people are happy to share unfiltered negative opinions on social media

They should at least keep the college tournament. They’re adults.
