Warning: This page contains spoilers for the May 8, 2024, 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:
Mattea Roach, a writer & podcast host from Toronto, Ontario, Canada (25-13, 1 point)
James Holzhauer, the self-described “final boss” of Jeopardy! from Las Vegas, Nevada (47-6, 4 points)
Victoria Groce, a writer & television personality from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (7-2, 6 points)
Andy’s Pre-Game Thoughts:
Match Day 3 concludes with a match between Victoria Groce, James Holzhauer, and Mattea Roach. Victoria (with the homophonic last name to our current regular-play champion) has dominated the buzzer and the games in piling up two victories. There have been a couple of concerns about her being 0-for-2 in Final Jeopardy—but Clue #61 doesn’t matter if your lead is insurmountable. Speaking of insurmountable, if the results in Game 1 (and thus the pairings for Friday) break the right way, Victoria could mathematically clinch a spot in the semifinals with a win in this match. Mattea is going to need to find their buzzer timing, and that will be immensely difficult against two of the strongest buzzer players ever in Victoria and James.

Andy’s Thoughts:
- Today’s box score will be linked to when posted by the show.
Final Jeopardy! wagering suggestions:
(Scores: Victoria 29,600 James 17,600 Mattea 7,000)
Victoria: Standard cover bet over James is 5,601. (Actual bet: 5,601)
James: If Victoria is incorrect and bets to cover, she falls to 23,999. Thus, you should bet at least 6,400. I would limit my bet in this situation to 10,599, as that forces Mattea to be correct to pass you. (Actual bet: 6,400)
Mattea: You’re probably going to be in a position where James has to be incorrect and you correct to take a match point. Thus, you might as well go all in. (Actual bet: 7,000)
