Honestly, I wasn’t sure what to think about Jeopardy! Masters going into the competition. After the first seven episodes, I definitely feel as though I should not have been as worried as I was. In the competition thus far, we have seen some incredibly high-level play and some of the best games of Jeopardy! ever played. However, I also don’t think that Jeopardy! Masters is perfect. There are definitely things that I’d like to see a Season 2 of Jeopardy! Masters do differently (assuming there is a Season 2):
1) 10 Episodes Wasn’t Enough; 13 Is The Perfect Number
C(6,3) = 20. When it appeared that ABC requested a final, they took a perfectly mathematical format and decided it wasn’t acceptable for their taste. (Which certainly led me to wonder if anyone at ABC actually understands mathematics.) However, there is a very simple solution to this season’s decreed truncation of the quarterfinals: expand the tournament to 13 episodes. That would give us a 10-episode first stage with all 20 3-player combinations of the 6 Masters, a 2-episode second stage with all 4 3-player combinations of the top 4 from the second stage, and a two-game total-point final stage in Episode 13. This would please both ABC—who clearly wanted a final—and the show & fans—many of whom were looking forward to the mathematical perfection of the original 10-episode format.
However, this leads to my second point…
2) 3–4 Episodes A Week Is A Bit Much
May 2023 is the busiest month in Jeopardy! history, with the usual 23 syndicated games on the schedule in addition to 20 games’ worth of Jeopardy! Masters. The 43 games of Jeopardy! is unprecedented in the show’s history, and it feels like a lot for everyone, those who cover the show included. After this same feedback was definitely given to the show itself after last year’s Jeopardy! National College Championship, it definitely feels as though fan feedback, in this case, is being ignored. Turning Masters into a weekly event will allow for the hype to build over the course of several weeks while also preventing Jeopardy! burnout amongst its most diehard fans.
What Did I Think About Revealing The Daily Doubles?
I enjoyed this change a great deal for Jeopardy! Masters; knowing where the Daily Doubles were on the board allowed me to experience both the crescendo of rising action as the players got closer to them on the board and the resulting letdown if the contestants switched categories away from them. It was an excellent addition to Jeopardy! Masters to make the gameplay feel different from the syndicated show, and I would be OK if this change stayed Masters-only.
Final Thoughts
Overall, I’d give Jeopardy! Masters a rating of 9.0/10; the two things above are keeping the show from perfection, in my opinion.
