Wow! Congrats to Amy on getting the Producer’s pick! I didn’t expect her to get it. Thought perhaps Cris Pannullo would be chosen. It’s going to be good. 🙂
I’m so glad Amy got a second chance at Masters!! In my opinion, she is the most deserving! Congratulations, Amy!! 🥳💙🥰
An obvious choice. The producers are hoping for an Amy/James/Victoria final, thinking that if they get it, that it would be at least as exciting as the Amy/Victoria battle in the JIT finals.
And, I hope it happens.
Of course, James will be ragging on Ken, again. Possibly Bringing out his WWE like persona that he employ’s on the Chase. Will Victoria go all in as the Queen from The Chase to try and counter James. Can Amy keep her focus with the othher tw0’s antics? We’ll see .
Someone is counting those chickens before they hatch.
The show has now confirmed the format, as expected and delineated above.
