Warning: This page contains spoilers for the May 12, 2023, first 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 8:00 PM Eastern.
This game’s Jeopardy! Masters contestants:
Amy Schneider, a writer from Oakland, California (2 points)
Sam Buttrey, an associate professor at the Naval Postgraduate School from Pacific Grove, California (2 points)
Andrew He, a software developer from San Francisco, California (5 points)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
Today’s first matchup—Andrew He vs. Sam Buttrey vs. Amy Schneider—is a rematch of the Tournament of Champions final. This should give Amy some confidence, as Amy did win 3 of the 6 games back in November. However, Andrew has had the best run of the three of these players in Masters thus far. I expect to see a game as exciting as the ToC Final was tonight!
PSA: The best way to keep COVID-19 at bay (and keep Jeopardy! producing new episodes) is for everybody to get their vaccinations as soon as they can, including any boosters as recommended. When wearing a mask, please ensure that your mask covers both your nose and your mouth.
