Jeopardy! General Discussion Thread
jude_este:
Felt like starting a new thread by not wanting to bump up the previous one for general Jeopardy! discussion to share the news from Deadline Hollywood that another primetime spinoff series called Jeopardy! Masters has been ordered at ABC with Ken Jennings as host. The series will feature the six currently highest-ranked Jeopardy! contestants who will face off in a Champions League-style event facing off in a Champions League-style event to win the title of Jeopardy! Masters champion.

A few updates on Jeopardy! Masters:
- There will be 10 hour-long episodes with 2 half-hour games in each
- All 6 of the competitors will appear in every episode.
- It is currently intended on being a yearly event and if that happens, then the top 3 ranked players will return next year while the bottom 3 spots will be up for grabs, with those players going into the pool for the Jeopardy! Invitational Tournament, an event held in conjunction with Masters. This tournament will feature other past greats such as Julia Collins, Sam Kavanaugh, Colby Burnett, Larissa Kelly, etc. It is unknown whether the Invitational Tournament will be done in Primetime or not, but it will happen if Masters returns for a second go-around.
- Spots 4-6 will be filled by the winner of the next TOC, the winner of the Jeopardy! Invitational Tournament, and a “wild card”
Somewhat unrelated, but Jeopardy! is also considered imposing a 10-year eligibility rule similar to policies currently held by Family Feud and The Price is Right.

I have not listen to the Jeopardy podcast in a long time.. Was this mention on the podcast? If this does happen, will this be a good idea or bad idea?

Yes, Michael Davies brought up the idea on the most recent episode.
Personally, I think it’s a great idea because the game of Jeopardy! has changed so much in the last 10, even 5 years. Allowing past contestants to come back really opens up doors for them to shine in ways that they may not have been able to previously. Especially considering Second Chance wasn’t a thing yet, I think it’s only fair.
