Meet the Masters, part one
James is a 32-time winner and is a professional sportsman who lives best in Las Vegas – known to the masses for hunting down Daily Doubles and going all in on them – he won Season 1 of the Masters easily and only lost one match.
Mattea, a 23-time winner, returns as runner-up and almost defeated James in the final, who until then had shown no signs of problems.
Matt, a 38-time winner, came third last year and was the only player to get a win against James in the entire feature, but he was also “very inconsistent” and even failed in a game and ended up in the red.
“I feel like a stronger competitor,” Amodio said in preparation at a recent event attended by The US Sun.
Matt Amodio disagrees with the season
Ahead of tonight’s premiere, Matt Amodio has already criticized the new season on X, formerly known as Twitter.
While fans complained about the lack of “regular” games that aired last year, Matt fanned the flames by pointing out that viewers saw tonight’s players a combined total of 228 times.
Tonight’s clashes have been revealed
In tonight’s premiere, Mattea will face Matt and Victoria in the first match of the quarterfinals. Later, in the same episode, James will face Yogesh and Amy.
The remaining clashes are not announced and will be determined by whoever wins the first games.
Last year’s rankings were based on a points system where first, second or third place gave the player four, two or one points respectively.
What is it: the format?
The Masters will begin with six quarterfinal episodes and 12 matches where no one will be eliminated.
The round-robin tournament will see all iterations of competitors face off against each other.
There will then be two semi-final episodes starting on Friday, May 17, after the fifth and sixth placed teams are eliminated.
The final will air on May 22nd, after the fourth-placed team has been eliminated, giving fans our top three.
An episode of two final matches will determine the winner based on the highest combined score.
Episodes air at 8 p.m.
The danger! Masters episodes air at 8pm, so they do not interfere with normal play.
Both the regular show and Masters will air during the new season – meaning Jeopardy! fans can watch 90 minutes straight of the iconci game show.
All six players take the stage
Danger! Masters episodes last one hour – meaning there will be two consecutive rounds, so all six players will take the stage in the first six quarterfinal episodes.
The Masters players are:
