Warning: This page contains spoilers for the May 16, 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:
Sam Buttrey, an associate professor at the Naval Postgraduate School from Pacific Grove, California (2 points)
Mattea Roach, a writer & podcaster from Toronto, Ontario, Canada (7 points)
Andrew He, a software developer from San Francisco, California (9 points)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
Tonight’s opening game sees Andrew He, Mattea Roach, and Sam Buttrey paired with each other. Sam needs to win both tonight and tomorrow if he wants to qualify for the semifinals. Both Andrew and Mattea are in good positions, but they’ll both need one more good result to qualify.
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.
