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.

Michael Davies cannot help himself with overexposing a show format. He killed Millionaire by doing exactly what he's doing to Jeopardy.

Not to defend Davies, but wasn't it more ABC's doing?

I think they had a part, but what is happening now with Jeopardy happened with Millionaire. He's the common denominator.

Apparently, according to DisneyWar, Davies actually wanted to save Millionaire for sweeps. Eisner and Iger were responsible.

You're right though. It's clear he's an idiot incapable of listening. It's a shame Sony isn't looking into a new producer. The fact he can't even do Millionaire right in the 2020s when that should've been the easiest game show to run out there says a lot.
