Amy Schneider Has A New Strategy For The ‘Jeopardy! Masters’ Tournament!
Although some fans are hoping that Andrew He is going to win the “Jeopardy! Masters” tournament, he is facing some stiff competition from season 38 Tournament of Champions winner Amy Schneider. In an interview with the San Francisco Bay Times ahead of the show’s premiere, Amy revealed that she has a new strategy going into the new tournament.
“With almost every game of Jeopardy!, if you lose, you’re done. This is a different scenario, like a season of a sports league. You keep playing. If you lose you pick up and take it to the next game,” she explained. “That’s going to be interesting. How do you adjust over the course of a season? How do you change your game play when you are up against James Holzhauer, versus Matt Amodio or Sam Buttrey? Does that change how you play the game? That is something Jeopardy! hasn’t had a chance to explore before.”
