Warning: This page contains spoilers for the May 27, 2025, second game of Jeopardy! Masters — please do not scroll down if you wish to avoid being spoiled. It will be updated alongside the Eastern Time airing of the show, beginning at about 9:30 PM Eastern.
This game’s Jeopardy! Masters contestants:
Roger Craig, an applied scientist from Arlington, Virginia (15-9, 4 points)
|
Matt Amodio, a quantitative researcher from New York, New York (47-19, 5 points)
|
Juveria Zaheer, a psychiatrist from Whitby, Ontario, Canada (8-7, 5 points)
|
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
Of this week’s pair of games, our second game is absolutely the most important. Only one of Juveria Zaheer, Roger Craig, and Matt Amodio will be advancing to the semifinals in this winner-take-all game. And it just about is anyone’s game: the Unified Prediction Model gives Matt a 36.0% chance of winning, compared to Roger’s 33.9% and Juveria’s 30.1%. I, for one, am expecting to see a very competitive match tonight—these three players have generally played each other quite close over the past few months.

It is so funny that BOTH first wrote “James”, then changed it to “Charles”. [I could only surmise (because I know very few British history details) “The Duke of York”, but knew that would be insufficient.]
I was proud [smug?] that this Boomer got the “stitch” response correct (that I am recalling was a triple stumper)!
[It concerned TikTok, which I’ve NEVER used. Thank you, ‘@fter midnight with Taylor Tomlinson’ which I am going to miss since CBS has cancelled it.]
