Welcome to Reality Derby, our weekly deep dive into all things reality TV, hosted by Gold Derby senior editors Marcus James Dixon and Denton Davidson.

Joining us this week is David Genat, the winner of Deal or No Deal Island Season 2, who set a new game-show record for American television by winning $5.8 million during the March 25 finale. The self-proclaimed "Golden God" was already well-known to fans of Australian Survivor, having won All Stars and played on Champions v Contenders, before he joined up with the NBC competition. Watch our video interview above.

"It's incredible," David says about his history-making performance. "When I started this journey of doing reality shows and you're playing for big money, I never dreamed that I would play for this amount of money and get a chance to win this amount of money. It's so far beyond the scope of what I envisage to myself. So it's been really,...

The friendly rivalry between Jeopardy! super-champs James Holzhauer and Matt Amodio added a new chapter late Monday night (March 17) when Holzhauer took an opportunity to poke fun at his upcoming Jeopardy! Masters opponent. Responding to a tweet that asked, “What’s the worst character redesign of all time,” Holzhauer shared a side-by-side photo of himself and Amodio behind their Jeopardy! podiums. The images featured each player’s total earnings, with Holzhauer’s at almost $2.5 million and Amodio’s at $1.5 million. The playful dig came after Amodio recently referred to himself as a “game show villain” during the Jeopardy! Invitational Tournament, a nod to Holzhauer, the self-declared bad boy of Jeopardy! Amodio won the Jit!, earning the $150,000 prize and a guaranteed spot in the 2025 Masters. Holzhauer already landed his spot in Masters by making it to the finals of last year’s tournament, which saw Amodio eliminated in the quarterfinals. Amodio...

Succeeding on Jeopardy!goes beyond innate intellectual capacity. What separates the one-day champs from the esteemed super-champions is an extensive mental exercise that trains the mind to obtain information and recall said information in a matter of seconds after clicking the buzzer. Plenty of insightful testimony has been documented concerning the art of mastering the Jeopardy! buzzer and the recent trend of contestants making big wagers on Daily Doubles, with these factors accounting for the boom of super-champs in a post-James Holzhauer world. As long as you rake in cash and extend your stay on the Alex Trebek stage, there's no such thing as a poor preparation strategy, but the science of memory recollection, as studied by former winner Dr. Monica Thieu, should not be overlooked.

From answering “What is…?” before every question to having to identify multiple items in a category, Jeopardy! player David Madden has found himself on Season 3 of The Floor and fans recognized him right away. Madden is a former 19-day champion on Jeopardy! and holds the eighth-longest streak in show history, in which he is tied with Jason Zuffranieri. He is only behind all time greats including current host Ken Jennings, Amy Schneider, Matt Amodio, James Holzhauer, Mattea Roach, Cris Pannullo, and Julia Collins. He first competed on Jeopardy! in 2005, and had a winning streak of 19 total games, with a total of $432, 400. Madden was defeated by Victoria Groce. He then went on to compete in the 2006 Tournament of Champions, but lost the semifinal match. Madden recently returned for the 2024 Jeopardy! Invitational Tournament but failed to win his match and took home an additional $10,000. This brought the contestant’s total earnings to $785,733.33. Now,...

Jeopardy!‘s 2020 “Greatest of All Time” tournament might’ve settled the matter of which mega-champion was, well, the greatest of all time between Ken Jennings, Brad Rutter, and James Holzhauer. But now fans are wondering what other former contestants deserve to have the ultimate respect put on their names and be featured on the show’s Mount Rushmore. A Reddit thread has seen fans pitch their picks for the four greatest players in the game show’s history and they have made some interesting cases for certain contestants. One commenter, for example, suggested that Ibm’s Watson, the supercomputer that competed and won against Rutter and Jennings back in a 2011 Jeopardy! Contest. “I kind of wish there was an opportunity for a new Ibm challenge with some of the modern super-champs,” one user responded in the thread. Another added, “Truly, I think the only reason it won was because of reading speed.

Look, we’ve all watched Jeopardy! and marveled at the answers we got correct, because the show is undeniably difficult. Sure, there’s the occasional easy question and category, but oftentimes the questions are extremely hard to answer for the average person. Which is why it’s always so impressive when a contestant goes on a winning streak. James Holzhauer is a 33-time Jeopardy! winner, and of his wins, he got 27 questions wrong, which is impressive when you think of just how many questions are answered in an episode. USA Today listed all of James’ missed questions, so which of those 27 questions do you think you would get right?...

Jeopardy! fan favorite Drew Goins recently got another chance to appear on the popular game show, and he caused a stir, not just for his gameplay, but also for his choice of wardrobe. Recently, Goins opened up about the tips he received from a champion. So, what did he have to say?

Jeopardy! Drew Goins Made A Huge Splash In Recent Scenes

Jeopardy! contestant Drew Goins recently returned to the Jeopardy! stage for the Second Chance Tournament. The journalist from Hawaii has made quite the impression on game show viewers, and many were excited to see him back for another shot at big money and glory.

Based on recent scenes from the game show, not only did Drew Goins win big, but, he also caused quite the firestorm online for his choice of wardrobe. Goins wore a tight-fitting grey turtleneck that showed off his physique, and viewers lost it over this.

After becoming an instant fan-favorite for his first Jeopardy! last September, Drew Goins returned to the Alex Trebek Stage for this week’s Second Chance Tournament and got a bit of redemption for his previous costly Taylor Swift slip. As it turns out, he decided to pay extra attention to the world of entertainment this time around, and that effort worked out in his favor as he advances to the finals. Plus he acknowledges the help how show all-time great James Holzhauer has helped him improve his game. Speaking to TV Insider, Goins revealed how he prepared to go on the game show the first time and what he did differently the second time around to improve his chances of success. For his first appearance, Goins revealed that he focused on the basics. “I did a lot of studying. A friend who had been on the show recommended this really...

Laura Faddah is astonishing Jeopardy! fans with her winning streak. While viewers will have to wait until next year to see her try for her eighth win, there is one record that the champion has just set. However, what is disappointing is that this is not a record she likely wanted to break.

Here is a look at the record that Laura broke and why it is not a good thing.

Laura Faddah Has Lowest Earnings After Seven Wins In Jeopardy! History

Laura Faddah has seven wins in a row on Jeopardy! This is huge for her since she automatically qualified for the Tournament of Champions when she hit five wins in a row. With seven wins, only two people had won more games this season than Laura, and fans are pretty happy to finally see someone winning.

However, while she has won seven games in a row,...

There is no doubt that each contestant on Jeopardy! deserves to be there based on their ability to retain information easily. Additionally, some of them are the smartest people I have ever seen. Ken Jennings has won 74 consecutive games, and James Holzhauer deserves his flowers as well for being the third-highest-earning American game show contestant ever, and overall, being a genius. These men and certain other contestants throughout the years are absolutely smart – but that does not mean every person to have ever competed on the show is a genius.

James Holzhauer has announced that he is all on Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election in an unexpected and rare break from Jeopardy! culture. The Las Vegas resident, who is a professional sports gambler, WWE fan, and one of Jeopardy!‘s most famous contestants, took to X on Tuesday, October 29. Instead of his usual preference for sharing a jokey meme or insulting Ken Jennings or a show rival, he decided to announce his endorsement for the Democratic nominee. This is the first candidate Holzhauer has publicly backed since his famed 32-day winning streak in 2019. Still, he couldn’t resist a little self-deprecating humor in his post. “Your favorite Jeopardy champ wants you to vote for Kamala Harris,” Holzhauer wrote. “I also want you to vote for Kamala Harris. Do it for both of us.” Your favorite Jeopardy champ wants you to vote for Kamala Harris I also want you to...

It takes a lot of courage to go on a game show. Your brains are put to the test, and if you mess up, the entire world will see. There are plenty of compilation videos on the internet where viewers watch contestants embarrass themselves. However, watching a contestant crush it is incredible to see. People like James Holzhauer and Ken Jennings have created cult-like followings because of their success on Jeopardy!. Fans thought a new icon would be coming soon, Mark Fitzpatrick. He was on an absolute heater on the show, but then, things went south. Fitzpatrick recently opened up about the struggles he faced while participating.

How Mark Fitzpatrick Felt About Being ‘Cocky’ On Jeopardy!

Fans got to see Mark Fitzpatrick for a special five-day run on the hit show Jeopardy!, before he had to pack it up. As is the case with plenty of successful contestants, Fitzpatrick noticed...

Jeopardy! champions have been making a name for themselves lately. The main host of the series is a former champion in Ken Jennings. There are also many other cases where former champs have started to branch out and make their names, including some becoming hosts on different shows. Mattea Roach is the latest to do so.

Here is a look at what Jeopardy! champion Mattea Roach has lined up with their new hosting duties.

Mattea Roach Has A New Hosting Gig

Mattea Roach remains the most successful Canadian to ever appear on Jeopardy! They appeared in 2022 and had a 23-game winning streak. This put them in sixth place all-time for winning streaks in the regular season on the show. They also won $560,983 during her run and gave a correct answer to 93% of their buzzed answers.

The tough part was that Roach lost the streak to Danielle Maurere by just $1. However,...

Game show legend James Holzhauer just can’t stop bumping into fellow Jeopardy! contestants in the wild. On Monday, August 19, Holzhauer took to X (formerly Twitter), where he shared a photo of himself alongside 2022 Tournament of Champions runner-up Andrew He. “How Does This Keep Happening,” Holzhauer captioned the post, which saw the pair smiling for the camera at what appears to be the Japanese “fast-steak” restaurant Pepper Lunch. Last month, Holzhauer randomly bumped into Jeopardy! fan favorite and his fellow Jeopardy! Masters opponent Mattea Roach. “Omg You Guys I Just Met A Jeopardy Legend,” the self-confessed game show super-villain captioned his post with Roach. Once again, fans went wild for the Jeopardy! meet up. How Does This Keep Happening pic.twitter.com/EcXR0YvJNy — James Holzhauer (@James_Holzhauer) August 19, 2024 “Andrew!!! One of my favorites,” wrote one commenter. “Wanna chill with you bad boys,” said another. Another wrote, “He is Him.

Jeopardy!‘s 2024 Tournament of Champions winner Yogesh Raut has been opening up about his time on the show, including his villain image and doing battle with James Holzhauer. In an interview with The U.S. Sun, Raut said his victory in the most recent Toc “feels good,” noting, “I didn’t come in with any kind of expectation. I played many practice games. I knew it was a game based on both skill and luck. When I succeeded, it was a combination of skill and other people’s bad luck.” Raut almost repeated his Toc success when he competed in the second season of Jeopardy! Masters, where he finished as runner-up to Victoria Groce. During the tournament, he bested some of the game show’s greatest-ever players, including Jeopardy! icon Holzhauer. Despite having dominated the first edition of Masters in 2023, Holzhauer found himself on the backfoot against Raut and Groce. “After the first game,...

This Tuesday, August 6, is no trivial day for Jeopardy! champ James Holzhauer: It’s the day this self-described game show “Final Boss” turns 40 years old. And if Holzhauer’s first four decades are any indication of what’s to come, we’d wager good money on big success in the next four. In honor of this momentous birthday for “Jeopardy! James,” here are our picks for his biggest achievements to date. James Holzhauer skipped second grade. In junior kindergarten, 4-year-old Holzhauer was so adept at math that his teacher developed a special curriculum for him, as the Chicago Tribune reported in 1989. The budding brainiac also joined a fifth-grade math class at age 7 and skipped second grade, as he told The New York Times in 2019. He won first in physics at a Worldwide Youth in Science and Engineering state competition. Not only was Holzhauer a member of the team that...

Jeopardy! icon James Holzhauer got fans excited on Sunday, July 28, when he shared a photo alongside his fellow Jeopardy! Masters competitor Mattea Roach. “Omg You Guys I Just Met A Jeopardy Legend,” Holzhauer posted on X alongside a photo of himself standing next to Roach. Fans flooded the comments to share their excitement of seeing the two legendary Jeopardy! players together for the first time since they competed on Season 2 of Jeopardy! Masters. “Two Jeopardy legends in one pic!” wrote one fan. “I should be so fortunate; love watching you both!! Truly amazing!” said another. Omg You Guys I Just Met A Jeopardy Legend pic.twitter.com/w3chlkQiXB — James Holzhauer (@James_Holzhauer) July 28, 2024 Another added, “Icons being icons.” “Toss in Sam Buttrey and you three are my all-time Big Three Jeopardy champions—les trois grands—with all due respect to Ken [Jennings]!” wrote another. “James says this when looking in the mirror too!

Yogesh Raut was a big winner on Jeopardy! However, many fans soured on him when he made comments disparaging the game show. Some fans called him a sore loser after his eventual elimination. Yet, he is standing behind his statements.

Here is what Raut said about his comments and why he still believes in what he said about the hit quiz show.

Yogesh Raut Blasts Jeopardy! As Not A Real Quiz Show

Yogesh Raut won the 2024 Tournament of Champions and he was the runner-up on Jeopardy! Masters. However, he made comments about the show on Facebook that made some fans sour on him. It almost turned him into a villain for the hardcore Jeopardy! fanbase.

Yogesh played three incredible games in 2023, racking up $96,403 and playing in the only perfect game in the 21st century. Many fans instantly disliked him because of his buzzer style, Q&A stories,...

Jeopardy!, the iconic American television game show, has become a cultural phenomenon since its inception in 1964, and the top Jeopardy! winners have amassed millions of dollars. Known for its unique format of presenting answers and requiring contestants to respond in the form of a question, Jeopardy! has garnered a loyal following and critical acclaim. Contestants can accrue significant earnings, especially if they go on winning streaks, leading to substantial totals by the end of their runs.

Hosted for years by the late Alex Trebek, whose intellect and charisma became synonymous with the show, Jeopardy challenges contestants on a wide range of topics, from history and literature to science and pop culture.

Clue: The United States Postal Service is honoring this iconic game show host with his own stamp. If you said “Who is Alex Trebek,” you’d be correct — and we can’t possibly imagine how you guessed that.

As will be announced on-air by host Ken Jennings during Friday’s episode of Jeopardy!, the Usps is issuing a Forever Stamp in honor of the late, great Trebek, who famously hosted the show for 37 years. The reveal of Trebek’s stamp coincides with Jeopardy!‘s 60th Diamond Celebration, which began earlier this year.

Jeopardy! champ Adriana Harmeyer is on quite the winning streak. The archivist from West Lafayette, Indiana has won every game for the last 15 episodes in a row now. Her latest win puts her in second place behind one of Jeopardy‘s most successful players of all time, James Holzhauer, and once again she won without the help of Daily Doubles. This record isn’t related to her total winnings, but rather her Final Jeopardy streak. Out of 15 games, Harmeyer has gotten 11 Final Jeopardy clues right in a row. She’s only the second player to accomplish this in regular game play. Holzhauer currently holds the record at 27. Here’s how the game went down. Harmeyer was playing against Colleen Matthews, a speech-language pathologist from Portland, Oregon, and Mark Gagliardi, an actor and podcaster from Knoxville, Tennessee, in the Tuesday, June 18 episode. The scores were pretty even at the first break,...

Three was a controversial move on Jeopardy! Masters this week that turned many fans against Yogesh Raut. The fans at home thought that he made a really bad and “arrogant” move. They then pointed out that he gave an “incorrect” answer that was somehow ruled correct by the show.

Here is what has fans mad at Jeopardy! Masters and Yogesh this week.

Yogesh Raut Accused Of “Arrogant” Move On Jeopardy! Masters

Yogesh Raut was playing on Jeopardy! Masters this week and made a move that made him seem arrogant. It was also a move that many fans felt resulted in a wrong answer. However, the show ruled he was correct, much to the chagrin of those watching at home.

After a few weeks of intense play, Jeopardy! Masters came down to a final three of James Holzhauer, Victoria Grace, and Yogesh Raut. However, many fans felt that Yogesh was acting arrogantly.

Victoria Groce handily defeated self-proclaimed “final boss” James Holzhauer and 2024 Tournament of Champions winner Yogesh Raut to become Jeopardy! Masters champion on Wednesday (May 22) and is now opening up about her experience. The Chase star took to the Jeopardy! Reddit forum on Thursday (May 23) for an Ama (Ask Me Anything), where she opened up about her favorite TV shows, how she practiced her buzzer technique, and the shock she felt about being asked back on Jeopardy! Before being invited to (and winning) the Jeopardy! Invitational Tournament, Groce had only played two games of Jeopardy! almost 20 years ago. In 2005, she ended David Madden’s impressive run of 19 games but lost in her second episode. However, since then, Groce has become a formidable figure in the trivia community, and in 2022, she joined ABC’s game show The Chase as “The Queen.” But even with those credentials, Groce said she never expected to...

Jeopardy! Masters finalist James Holzhauer is “bummed” after losing his title. Reigning champ Hozhauer competed against Yogesh Raut and Victoria Groce in the tournament’s Season 2 finale on Wednesday May 22. But ultimately he was no match for Groce who triumphed on the night and took home the $500,000 cash prize. Click here for a recap of what happened in the finale. After the finale aired on ABC, Holzhauer took to Twitter to congratulate his opponents. “Huge congrats to Yogesh and especially Victoria for a brilliantly played final match,” the 39-year-old wrote. “The trivia community and fans of The Chase already knew Victoria is the best quizzer in the country—now fans of Jeopardy Masters know it too. ” Holzhauer finished third, behind Raut who placed second, and was awarded $150,000. Raut took home a cash prize of $250,000. Holzhauer also went on to express his disappointment in not having won the prize. He intended...

[Warning: The following post contains Major spoilers about the Season 2 finale of Jeopardy! Masters.] The second season of Jeopardy! Masters has ended with a new champion of champions taking the top prize. On Wednesday night’s finale, Victoria Groce, Yogesh Raut, and James Holzhauer competed in two back-to-back, total score games to find out who was the true master of this trio, and one contestant closed with a decisive lead that left no doubt. As was evident from the very beginning of this season, it is indeed Victoria Groce who has emerged as the best of the best this time, handily dispensing with self-proclaimed “final boss” James Holzhauer and Yogesh Raut for the $500,000 cash prize. Here’s how it all went down. Game One The first round was a spirited affair, featuring a category with special guest Jason Kelce and some friendly sidechats about the proper pronunciation of proper nouns like Everest and Salt ‘N Pepa.

A new video hit the Jeopardy! social media accounts. It shows two former Masters competitors in what can only be described as a fun “love song” video, as they sing to each other. These competitors are fan favorites, Sam Buttrey and Andrew He. The video has fans falling in love with Sam and Andrew all over again.

Here is a look at the music video and what fans are saying about these Jeopardy! fan favorite stars.

And then there were three. Monday’s edition of Jeopardy! Masters was the second (and final) round of the semifinals, whittling the remaining quartet of Masters down to the three who’ll compete for the big money on Wednesday’s Season 2 finale episode. Here’s a look at how it all shook out. Game Three This round saw Victoria Groce play her last game, going up against James Holzhauer and Amy Schneider. And, in what seems to be just her luck, she found the first round’s Daily Double right away, betting the $1,000 she could without any money in the bank yet. In the category “Short Kingdoms,” the clue was: “In 1814, this historic German state was made into a kingdom for a little while, largely through the influence of England.” While Groce guessed it was Prussia, host Ken Jennings kindly informed her it was actually Hanover, which meant in a surprising turn,...

The semifinals have just begun on Jeopardy! Masters and it’s already a nail-biter. On Friday night’s episode, the match point slates were wiped clean for the four semifinalists — Victoria Groce, Yogesh Raut, James Holzhauer, and Amy Schneider — which meant they all had an equal chance coming into this leg of the competition to advance to the finals. However, one contestant got off to a very rocky start indeed, and it remains to be seen whether they’ll be able to bounce back from such a severe stumble. Here’s a look at everything that happened on the first night of Jeopardy! Masters semifinals. Game One This game saw James Holzhauer, Yogesh Raut, and Victoria Groce in competition. Things got off to a bright start for Groce, who previously led the pack in the initial rounds. First, she got the first Daily Double (wagering and winning $3,600 on Stanford Benet...

Coming into the sixth night of Jeopardy! Masters Season 2, there were a couple of foregone conclusions: Victoria Groce (with 13 match points) and Yogesh Raut (with 10) were already qualified to play in the semifinals; unless James Holzhauer (who had 6) got shut out again, he was likely to advance as well; it was bound to be a close contest between Amy Schneider and Mattea Roach (also 5) for that fourth spot; and Matt Amodio (with just 1 single match point) had zero chance of playing past Wednesday night’s games. So how did the sextet of champions fare in the final night of Masters games? Here’s a look at the highlights. Game Eleven Raut, Holzhauer, and Amodio were matched up for their final “regular” game of this season, but, as mentioned above, the latter was necessarily going to come in sixth (still taking home a healthy $50k prize for his troubles), and Holzhauer...

The fifth episode of Jeopardy! Masters aired on Monday night (May 13) and saw Victoria Groce continue her dominant ways in Game 9, while underdog Mattea Roach made a surprise comeback in Game 10. Plus, what next for James Holzhauer after another crushing defeat? Here’s a look at what went down in this two-game episode of Jeopardy! Masters. Game Nine Groce added to her tournament lead in the first game of the evening as she faced off against Jeopardy! super-champ Matt Amodio and reigning Masters champion James Holzhauer. Heading into the game, Groce had already secured her spot in the semi-finals, while Holzhauer was in a solid position to advance. The pressure was all on Amodio, currently at sixth place on the leaderboard, who needed a win to keep himself in the running. However, yet again, the game came down to a battle between the two Chase stars, Groce and Holzhauer. Groce...

By virtually any metric, Matt Amodio is one of the most successful quiz show contestants of all time.

The Medina, Ohio native, who now works as a quantitative researcher in New York, burst onto the trivia scene in 2021 with a commanding performance on American game show institution Jeopardy! Amodio would go on to dot his name all over the hallowed Jeopardy! record books, winning 38 consecutive games (third most all time), taking in $1,518,601 in prize-winnings (also third most all time), and finishing third in the inaugural Jeopardy! Masters tournament in 2023.

Now Amodio has returned for the second installment of Jeopardy! Masters alongside familiar competitors James Holzhauer, Amy Schneider, and Mattea Roach; and fresh faces Victoria Groce and Yogesh Raut. This time around, however, the ultra-champ hasn’t done too well.

James Holzhauer came into the second season of Jeopardy! Masters as the “Final Boss of Jeopardy,” but by the third episode, the nickname had disappeared. Now, shocked fans are wondering if this is because of his less-than-stellar performance in the tournament so far. A viewer brought up the topic on the Jeopardy! Reddit forum after noticing the show had stopped doing the “occupation” intros starting with Episode 3. For comparison, in Season 1, the intros were still included all the way up until the semi-finals. “I can’t help but wonder if this has to do with with James being the self-described “Final Boss” but (so far) turning in a less-than-dominant performance,” the Reddit user wrote. “That line doesn’t seem so funny under these circumstances and could even be interpreted as a little embarrassing.” Holzhauer has used nicknames for his “occupation” intro before, including last year, when he went by the...

The final boss met his match(es) on Friday night’s edition of Jeopardy! Masters. James Holzhauer, for the first time in the competition so far, walked away empty-handed from the fourth night of competition after facing the two frontrunners of Season 2 together in what can only be described as a very competitive Game 8. Here’s a look at the major highlights of this two-game episode of Jeopardy! Masters. Game Seven This match-up put the three lowest-scoring contestants coming into the evening together: Matt Amodio, Amy Schneider, and Mattea Roach, each of whom had just one match point to show for the previous three nights of competition. In the first round, Schneider took a healthy lead, thanks in part to getting the first Daily Double correct (Cuba was the right answer to the “Coming to America”-categoried clue of, “From 1960 to 1962 a covert program called Operation Pedro Pan brought thousands of children to the U.

And as Schneider points out, “I know that anything less than my very best effort and my total focus,...

Jeopardy! icon James Holzhauer is currently defending his Jeopardy! Masters title, but he took some time out earlier this week to weigh in on the Kendrick Lamar versus Drake beef. After an X user said, “Beefs don’t work in any other genre. Can you imagine 21 pilots and imagine dragons writing diss tracks about each other,” Holzhauer responded with a classic Jeopardy! clip that proved beefs can certainly happen on game shows. The clip was from the 2020 Greatest of All-Time tournament, which saw Holzhauer battling it out with fellow Jeopardy! legends Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter. The moment featured Holzhauer’s epic diss of Rutter, where he pointed out how Rutter’s score of “0” was still on the screen after the boards reset, and Ken Jennings raised his hands in shock at what Holzhauer had said, reacting with a “Wow!” It was a moment viewers will never forget. “Funniest line ever delivered on Jeopardy!

At the start of Jeopardy! Masters Season 2, Season 1 champ James Holzhauer declared that he was the “final boss” of the entire competition, but so far, it’s been the Victoria Groce show, through and through. In the third night of competition — for Games 5 and 6 on Wednesday, May 8 — Groce once again took the lead and held it. And although it wasn’t a runaway this time (for the first time in Masters‘ second season so far), she still had a commanding performance. So is Victoria Groce the new “final boss” of this season? Well, there’s still a lot of gameplay to go, but she’s off to a good start. Coming into the night, the tallies of match powers were: Victoria Groce in 1st place with 6, James Holzhauer in 2nd place with 4, Yogesh Raut in third place with 4 (because of the tiebreaker being the number of correct responses), Matt Amodio...

Jeopardy! super-champ Amy Schneider is ready to respond head-on to criticism about her inclusion in the current Masters tournament. Season 2 of Jeopardy! Masters kicked off last week with six of the game’s most elite players battling it out for the coveted title and $500,000 grand prize. Those competing include reigning Masters champ James Holzhauer, last year’s runners-up Matt Amodio & Mattea Roach, 2024 Tournament of Champions winner Yogesh Raut, and Jeopardy! Invitational Tournament winner Victoria Groce. The sixth and final spot went to Schneider as a Producers’ Pick, despite placing fifth in Masters Season 1 and losing the Jit! to Groce. Some fans felt the spot should have gone to someone else who hasn’t had as many opportunities as Schneider. “We just saw her in Jit, whats the point if she can lose that and just move on anyways,” said one commenter on the Jeopardy! Reddit forum when the line-up was first announced.
