Ah, shucks! I love Mattea! I’m glad they returned for their second season of J! Masters, though :))

I think everyone loves Mattea - they’re a total darling

Love the camaraderie with everyone hugging at the end.

What a delightful trio - can’t wait to see them all again next time. Bring on the semis! Can anyone beat Victoria?!

I think this is the only Masters final question I knew that the contestants didn't.

I guessed "The Little Engine That Could."

Not a terrible answer.

Go Victoria...looking forward to the finals..its been fun watching her mop the floor with the rest of them..

Victoria is the new juggernaut. Congratulations

Jeopardy forever.

What is going left and right in 1842 and sounds menacing? Oh a pendulum a-hah! Surprised no one in the game got it.

Mattea gives me hope for the future..

Well done Victoria.

Legitimately surprised they didn’t get that one!

Mattea your father would be proud.🥹

I got that one. I almost didn't but thought Edgar Allen Poe . Got it.

1842 immediately made me think Poe, so it was just a matter of narrowing down to a short story he wrote involving a object moving left and right. One pendulum in my mind later, and I come to the correct response.

Wow I got it (though did consider Amy’s answer)…had portion of a math class in high school about this story (probably guess what it was about).

Hmm... Matt was locked in third place in last year's Masters Tournament and he was locked in 6th place this year. Mattea came in second place in a very close game against James Holzhauer, last year, while coming in 5th place in a very close leaderboard score against Amy Schneider this year. Could James, perhaps, continue the trend and be the next champion to lose in Masters this year?

So much for a James vs Matt vs Mattea rematch but at least Amy Schneider proved herself worthy of being the Producer’s Pick by clinching a spot in the semifinals.

I can't believe I actually got it right!

Poe has been my favorite author since first grade.

And I thought it was A Descent into the Maelstrom... Something very Poe-ish about that clue

I was shocked that no one got this one. It was one of the easier finals in Masters.

I would’ve guessed another different EAP short story… The Raven

That's a poem...

Fun fact: This is the third known instance when all three contestants bet 0 on Final Jeopardy and the first not involving Mira Hayward!

The fourth aired during regular play yesterday. All have happened this year. It's crazy. Should we be calling this "the Mira effect" now?

I GOT IT RIGHT I SWEAR WOW

Ah... I guessed The Jabberwocky.

@mattyberenblut1666 Yep, and I was about 35 years off, too. If I'd thought of Poe I might have gotten there, but with my limited 19th century short story knowledge, that was the best I could come up with.

I got this Final Jeopardy! clue right.

I got this one and the contestants did not. I felt smart..

Too easy. How did they not get it?

A gut feeling says it's Pit and the Pendulum because I remember having to read it in school, and it stuck with me.

Nice to be a spoiler

My wife makes fun of the way I pronounce pendulum... But I pronounce it just like Ken did. 😂😂😂

Wow. I was losing all night… and I got the final, yet no contestant did!

(Groan) I wanted to see Mattea Roach beat James Holzhauer, and become a millionaire, unlike last year, but things just didn’t work out. Oh, well. Maybe, next time.

Mattea still has won more money and gotten to play more games than many people who will ever make it to the show will ever get to play though, so it's not like Mattea has anything to be ashamed of. This is just an extremely elite group of contestants and so regardless of how good you are, being just a step below the rest is enough to do you in.

@theweysermanisback5205

This group was just tough.

Comment to prevent spoilers. - Spoiler Below -- Loved Poe as a kid, so was lucky enough to get this one.

Spoiler below: What can I say at this point about Victoria, she won 5/6 of her quarterfinal games, matching James's performance from last year. As I've said before, she could take the whole thing, and as a fan of James, that's scary. Amy finally redeemed herself! After a crushing defeat last year and getting another chance despite losing against Victoria in JIT, she proved why she's made history, and while I don't see her getting to the finals, this is progress. As for Mattea, they played great but had a tough final game. Best wishes to them, and I'm sure they'll be back for the next JIT.

Much ado about nothing

Love seeing three femme/nb contestants all together in the final
