Apparently the mystery contestant they announced for the Masters today is... Amy? That's certainly more boring than some of the suggestions people made.

They're milking the tournaments for all they're worth and yeah, Timby is right: it's boring.

What the gently caress is even the point of these tournaments if they're just gonna constantly ram the same people down our throats regardless of who wins. Enough already.

Why the gently caress do we need to see Holzhauer again, for Christ's sake? That's what really irks me. He already won last year's Jeopardy Masters tournament.

I can see James if he won last year's and is defending his title or whatever. Amy already had two chances to get in via other tournaments and didn't.

I've mentioned this before, but I have friends who went to high school with James (he and I are literally a week apart from each other in our 1984 birthdates) and he was just as much of a cock in the math club back then as he is now and I'm just sick of him and his $2 million rear end continuing to show up to win more money on Jeopardy.

I’m a James fan, I think he plays at a level unmatched by anyone besides Ken and maybe Victoria (way too soon to say.) from that standpoint I’m happy to see Amy because she’s very good and she might challenge James, but I do think it’s weird that she was the invite after losing the last Masters and the JIT—two events that by design populate Masters. Maybe they were banking on Brad and he bailed and they had to scramble, idk. Give Mike Richards the sixth spot or something. I’ll watch whatever, my opinion shouldn’t matter. Go Victoria.

Yeah, Victoria as a new entry is the only reason I'm remotely interested. Might be funny to see Yogesh get dunked on depending on who he's up against.

Oh the bigoted dipshits in the youtube comments will love that. Unrelated, I started watching Jeopardy again a few months ago after several years and noticed they always say the full category title now, sometimes even starting to abbreviate it before catching themselves. Did the producers tell them to do that? Supposed to be easier for viewers to follow I guess?

I agree that James had a strategy that worked well for him (hunting for Daily Doubles early while also going for max-value clues), and he had an exceptional buzzer game ... but it was so, so delicious to see Ken basically say, "Sit down before you fall down, son," in dominating him in the GOAT Tournament a few years back.

I mainly watch Jeopardy! just for the questions because I like yelling at my TV. The contestants don't really matter to me all that much. I really don't understand how everyone else who watches it cares about the contestants. Except Yogesh. gently caress Yogesh. And yes, I fast-forward through the interviews because I'm a monster.

I do think the Yogesh, James and Victoria episode will be very funny, just because of his thoughts on The Chase

I like Amy and Victoria just fine, but I'm sick of James. Good player but cocky personality that turns me off.

She's won like 90k by being quite good at buzzing and pretty bad at answering questions, playing against some truly bad competition. I respect it

Or just an actual buzzer. I bought one recently (partly for Jeopardy, partly to relive my Quiz Bowl days) and it helps a ton.

Practice playing Guitar Hero, folks. didn't realize they started making these for every game. what's the moneyball market efficiency to be exploited? that's right, it's buzzing in after someone answers to juice your attempt stats so you don't look as bad
