Welcome to my weekly editorial! There’s a lot to talk about this week, and it’s more important than usual, so I’ve released the editorial early.
Congratulations!
Last week I led off my editorial in congratulating my friend Jessica Pratesi for winning three games on Countdown in the UK. I’m pleased to report that she continued on her winning ways this week, sweeping the week and becoming an octochamp! She’ll be returning for the Series 89 finals in June.
Another Announcement From New York City
It was lost a little bit last night in the Amy Schneider news, but news started to trickle out of the Inside Jeopardy! event in New York City late last night that Kids Week, Teen Tournament, and College Championship alumni will have eligibility restored for the main program. I’m sure that more specific details of this news will be revealed in the coming weeks.
Ugh! Not Another Stock Photo Mislabelling Mishap!
It’s clear that Jeopardy!‘s research department needs to change how it handles stock photos after another mislabeled stock photo on Friday caused a headache for the show on social media. This one was caused by stock photo provider Alamy, who have what many people claim to be a peregrine falcon labeled as a Cooper’s hawk.
After the similar issue surrounding the Angus cattle earlier in the season, it’s become increasingly clear that certain stock photo sites should not be blindly trusted to be correct, and their claims need to be properly cross-referenced—because it’s making the show look silly.

Something To Remember When Suggesting Tournament Formats Online
Ever since Michael Davies has fully taken over and not run tournaments that were inherited from Mike Richards, it is very clear that wild card advancement in tournaments is not a mechanic that the show wishes to use any longer.
Whether that is because it makes gameplay and wagering counterintuitive and less aggressive to the home viewer, or because one could easily find strategy guides for “playing for the wildcard” is immaterial. The fact of the matter is that the old wild card system is a clear thing of the past under the current production team. To be fair: I agree with the show’s stance here—I routinely saw viewers confused online during tournament quarterfinals, some going as far to even trash players for not making cover bets in Final Jeopardy.
There is definitely room for creativity, here, though: for example, ranking players by “score entering Final Jeopardy” or even Coryat score would allow for the usual Final Jeopardy strategies to play out without rankings being affected by them. But past “wild card” formats are seen as too counterintuitive to the home viewer to be viable in 2024.

Who Else Would You Pick? Seriously.
Some corners of the Internet—I’m not going to single out specific areas this time, but there are multiple in this case—were upset at the announcement yesterday that Amy Schneider was the Producer’s Pick for Masters. And I don’t exactly understand why people are so upset.
To these fans, I have a serious question: Who else would you pick?
If you pick anyone who was in the Tournament of Champions or Jeopardy Invitational Tournament field, the same general objections to Amy’s selection carry over: Why is not winning the Tournament of Champions any different from not winning in the Jeopardy! Invitational Tournament?
If your pick was someone not in the JIT or ToC fields: Some of these same spaces on the Internet lost their collective mind last week over players being asked to play JIT on short notice—how is it now okay to ask someone who hasn’t played in 4-5 years to come in on a month’s notice to play Masters?
In light of the above two paragraphs, I think that a lot of the criticism of the show on the Internet in the last 18 hours is unfair and unwarranted. And, quite frankly, I do honestly believe that as much as I’ve criticized Amy’s gameplay at this level over the past 12 months, that I’ve also noticed improvements—her Final Jeopardy bet in Game 3 of the JIT final for starters—that I honestly believe she has a reasonable chance of advancing far in this iteration of the series.
Here’s A Google Search I Suggest You Make
“PGA Tour ratings when Tiger Woods is in contention”.
As much as I’m sure there is a small minority of longtime golf “diehards” who don’t want to watch Tiger Woods play golf anymore, more people watch TV coverage of a golf tournament when Tiger Woods is playing in it. Even in 2023 and 2024. Other golfers like Bryson DeChambeau may be better, but they don’t move the ratings needle like Tiger does.
I’m sure the parallel is obvious.
Another Reminder
A group of the 100 loudest people do not—they inherently can not, in my opinion—speak representatively for ten million—or even the self-selecting most diehard 100,000 of that ten million.
In Closing
My Jeopardy! Masters Season 2 preview will be coming out before taping begins this week; I hope you enjoy it!
