Warning: This page contains spoilers for the May 17, 2023, second 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 8:30 PM Eastern.
This game’s Jeopardy! Masters contestants:
Amy Schneider, a writer from Oakland, California (5 points)
Andrew He, a software developer from San Francisco, California (12 points)
James Holzhauer, a self-described game show villain from Las Vegas, Nevada (15 points)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
By the time this game starts, we’ll know if Amy still has a chance at qualifying for the semifinals. If Matt finishes 2nd or 3rd in the opener, Amy has to win outright in order to qualify. Of course, she has to beat both James and Andrew in order to do so. (Things would be much easier for Amy had she defeated Matt on Monday.)
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.
