Episode 1 recap featuring Games 1 and 2
The third season of Jeopardy! Masters debuted on April 30, 2025, with a two-part episode called Knockouts 1 & 2. The initial game included contestants Brad Rutter, Yogesh Raut, and Victoria Groce. Yogesh Raut won Game 1 with a score of 30,800 points, earning 3 match points.
Victoria Groce came in second with 14,000 points and won 1 point, while Brad Rutter, despite his performance, came in third with zero points. The game had Yogesh establishing an early lead in the Jeopardy round when he correctly answered a Daily Double question.
His good performance extended to the Double Jeopardy round, during which he earned another Daily Double and continued leading. In Final Jeopardy, Yogesh's accurate response and calculated bet enabled him to win.
The second game featured Matt Amodio, Roger Craig, and Juveria Zaheer. Matt Amodio was leading after the Jeopardy round with 5,000 points, but it was Roger Craig's smart playing of two Daily Doubles during Double Jeopardy that gave him the lead. By Final Jeopardy, Roger had reached 15,200 points, with Matt and Juveria trailing behind.
In the last round, Juveria's correct answer doubled her total to 16,000, and Matt's correct answer put him at 16,001. Roger's correct answer, along with a strategic bet, however, guaranteed his victory at 21,201 points. This gave him 3 match points, and Matt got 1, and Juveria got none.
After the first episode, the standings are as follows: Yogesh Raut and Roger Craig lead with three match points each, while Victoria Groce and Matt Amodio have one match point each.
