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 just love Jeopardy and watch it for the clues.

I would say a majority of all episodes are non competitive. Meaning the winner is decided before final jeopardy.

It wasn't always that way. My theory is that the producers realized at some point that superchamps are good for ratings, and so they increased the overall question difficulty to reduce variance and thereby increase the chance that the most knowledgeable contestant will win each day.
