They are beating a dead horse with having the same contestants and same tournaments over and over again.

I am so sick of Amy. But it will be good to see James compete again. Still though, it would be a better use of the Jeopardy! prize money to give the 2nd and 3rd place contestants on the regular version what they earn not ripping them off. Show would make back some of it by not giving anyone with a 0 or minus score any money.

As much as I love Jeopardy, I agree. The game speaks for itself. They don't have to milk it.

I was skeptical about this at first. But the Masters tournament has been really enjoyable, a lot better than Celebrity Jeopardy!

How can someone as square and dorky as Ken Jennings is, also be so obnoxious at the same time?

Apparently, they do because Ken said there would be another Masters tournament next year and the 3 finalists would play again! Who knew "Jeopardy! contestant" could be a career choice???

I was the same way about Mattea Roach although she is a bright 23-24 year old. Maybe I'm a little jealous for she being so young and doing so well.
