The Jeopardy! Masters Tournament is back for its second season, and the competition is sure to be fierce. Season 1 champion James Holzhauer is returning, along with Matt Amodio, Amy Schneider, and Mattea Roach. Newcomers Yogesh Raut and Victoria Groce will also be competing.
The tournament will begin on Wednesday, May 1, and episodes will air on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. The semifinals will begin on Friday, May 17, and the finale will be on May 22.
Holzhauer is the favorite to win the tournament again. He won $500,000 in the first Masters Tournament, and he is one of the most successful Jeopardy! players of all time. However, the other competitors are all formidable opponents, and they will be looking to dethrone Holzhauer.
Amodio is a two-time Jeopardy! champion, and he won over $1 million during his run. Schneider is a four-time Jeopardy! champion, and she is the first transgender contestant to win the Tournament of Champions. Roach is a five-time Jeopardy! champion, and she is the first Canadian contestant to win the Tournament of Champions.
Raut and Groce are both newcomers to Jeopardy!, but they have both impressed the show’s producers with their knowledge and skills. Raut is a software engineer from California, and Groce is a teacher from Washington, D.C.
The Jeopardy! Masters Tournament is sure to be an exciting competition. With such a talented field of contestants, it is anyone’s game.
