The episode saw Neilesh Vinjamuri, Isaac Hirsch and Adriana Harmeyer facing off to see who would go up against Yogesh Raut and Roger Craig in game four.

One of the rounds saw Isaac go up against Yogesh and Roger, which left viewers on the edge of their seats – as well as sharing one major complaint.

Ahead of the trio playing the iconic game, one X user said: “@IBHirsch vs. Yogesh vs. @rogcraig. Boy this is going to be an intense matchup.

“One of these men will earn a total of 6 match points and sitting on top of the leaderboard. #JeopardyMasters.”

The complaining then began as soon as the winner was clear.

“Another Yogesh sweep tonight. I’m bored #TeamJuveria #JeopardyMasters,” said one viewer.

“Buzzer-play is again evident in this #JeopardyMasters games. Roger Craig is the only one to get FJ correctly, collecting 1 point. A smug Yogesh Raut gets another win and 3 points. Yawn,” fumed a second.

Another person wrote: “This game is getting boring with each game. Zzzzzz.”

“YOGESH OH MY LORD #JeopardyMasters,” reacted a fourth.

Meanwhile, on Reddit, one person said: “Another game another bragging Yogesh anecdote.”

To which someone else replied: “Yeah, there’s certainly a lot of adjectives one could use to describe Yogesh, but humble isn’t one of them.”

This comes after the show on April 30 that saw Yogesh deliver the “best round” in the show’s history.

The episode saw Brad Rutter play alongside last year’s Masters champion Victoria Groce and 2024 runner-up, Yogesh.

After the first Jeopardy! round was complete, Ken informed the contestants that Yogesh had delivered the “best” performance in the history of the tournament.

Jeopardy! Set Secrets

Jeopardy! fans don’t see everything behind the scenes from watching on TV. These hidden set features make the show run smoothly:

Each podium has a hidden riser so that all contestants appear to be the same height.
After each clue is read, signal lights go off around the game board, indicating players can buzz in and respond.
Buzz in too early, and you’re locked out for .25 seconds.
The podiums have a small white light in the lower left corner, which tells Ken Jennings who goes next.
Contrary to popular belief, the player with control doesn’t have a buzzer advantage on the next clue.
To the game board’s left is a scoreboard so the players can see their opponents’ scores.
All contestants must bring three outfits to the studio, but only the host and returning champion change for the next episode.
There are wardrobe rules, including restrictions on busy patterns, solid white, purple (like the background), and logos.
Five episodes are taped in a single day, and sometimes more.
The categories, players (aside from the returning champion), and Final Jeopardy! for a tape day are all drawn randomly to ensure fairness.
Female contestants are asked not to wear makeup, which is applied backstage, and don’t wear mascara because of sweat.
Contestants fill out a questionnaire, and producers select five Q&A topics for the host.
Host Ken isn’t allowed to interact with the contestants until after the game.
Players can request to sit in a chair while competing without question.

To compare to his 15-0 record, Victoria had gotten 11 correct clues and 1 incorrect, while Brad had correctly gotten just 3 clues and missed 2.

The Double Jeopardy! round only proved Yogesh’s capability even more and lengthened his impressive record.

When the game was fully complete, Yogesh had scored 24 correct answers – and missed none.

The tournament will continue for several more weeks before the finale in early June crowns the 2025 Jeopardy! Masters champion.

The winner will not only secure the title, but they’ll also take home a prize of $500,000.
