Yes, she wrote it down right away.

we see Yogesh is still out in front.
With that big win, Juveria has catapulted to fourth,
putting her among the six advancing to the quarterfinals.
That means, sadly, that Brad and Neilesh,
you'll be leaving us.
But what a pleasure to have you back.
One of the all-time great "Jeopardy!" legends
and a new "Jeopardy!" legend in Neilesh.
We began with nine masters.

[ Applause ]
Roger Craig, a scientist from Arlington, Virginia,
is back with us.
Roger, congrats on making the quarterfinals.
Is there any clue from your "Jeopardy!" history
that you feel like you have not been able to live down?
What do you think about on those long, sleepless nights?
I would say, yeah.
It was my regular season loss to Jelisa,
and it was a clue about the New Orleans Saints
- winning the Super Bowl earlier that year. - Ah.
And it was in reference to a newspaper headline
that, "Our prayers are answered.
Saints have finally won it."
And James Holzhauer actually sent me an e-mail one time
and he said, "Oh, look at this newspaper
framed in this restaurant in New Orleans
where I'm eating right now."
So, it was...
James just sees something on a wall and immediately thinks,
"Oh, I can make Roger Craig feel bad."
Yeah. I was like...
And then that wasn't the first time, yeah.
That's a great "Jeopardy!" rivalry right there.
- Here's Victoria Groce... - Hi.
...from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
How have you been preparing for "Masters" this year,
knowing that you're coming in with a target on your back?
Yeah, so like last year,
I recognized that wordplay was an issue,
and I started doing a lot more word puzzles and crosswords
and everything, and I've kind of continued doing that.
And this year, kind of just for fun,
I did the American Crossword Puzzle Tournament.
- Oh, fun. - About a week ago.
- Oh, I got to go there once. Isn't that a great time? - Yeah.
So many people were like, "You know Ken did this.
Ken did really well. How are you doing?"
Oh, wow.
My goal was to solve everything clean.
And I did solve everything clean,
even the dreaded Puzzle 5.
- Congratulations. - Thank you.
So not a single mistake in the whole tournament.
Not very fast, but very accurate.
There we go. That's great.
Here's Yogesh Raut, originally from Springfield, Illinois.
What have you been up to besides preparing for "Masters"?
Well, I mean, when I come into Culver City,
the real -- the big thing on my mind was,
can I find the place where they film
the Coffee Chess YouTube channel?
Oh, you're really into Coffee Chess?
Yeah, well, you know, I shouted them out
- during my "TOC" final last year. - Uh-huh.
Yeah, and I was like, I wonder if they remember that?
And they keep their location a secret.
But I have detective skills,
so I was able to track it down.
As soon as I told them, "I'm the person who talked about you on TV,"
they were like, "Oh, yeah, yeah, 'Jeopardy!'"
Is that good for a free coffee?
No, but they did record me playing a game.
I lost quite badly,
but it'll go up on their channel at some point, I'm sure.
That's great. Victoria got into crosswords.
You got into chess.
But Roger's gonna select first
as we get into the Double Jeopardy! round.
Here are your categories, quarterfinalists.
And finally...
I'm Sean Evans, host of "Hot Ones."
I'll have clues about different kinds of hot ones,
and we won't make the contestants
consume Sriracha while they respond.
I assume that's a relief for you three.

[ Applause ]
Matt Amodio of New York City has appeared
on many an episode of "Jeopardy!"
Matt, it's always a delight to see you,
but I understand "Jeopardy!" is not your ultimate TV goal.
That's right. Last year, Amy Schneider
used this opportunity to appeal to "Top Chef"
to appear, and lo and behold,
I just saw her and Mattea on the show.
Yeah, they were just on.
And so I thought I could promote synergy
with another ABC property
and say, I have been working on my "Shark Tank" pitch.
- Oh! - And that pitch is
I want to be a guest Shark.
[ Laughter ]
Are you gonna go on "Shark Tank"
to tell the Sharks you want to be a judge on "Shark Tank"?
I think they could include somebody
who is unironically Mr. Wonderful for a change.
[ Laughter ]
I'm starting to think you guys are just here to get on other TV shows.
Is that what "Jeopardy! Masters" is?
Maximizing opportunities, Ken.
You're on that side of the podium.
You guys are bright. You don't miss a trick.
What about you, Isaac?
Are you here auditioning for anything else?
I'm auditioning for "Jeopardy! Masters," I think.
You've done very well so far.
But you've never played against Juveria or Matt, right?
This is new competition for you. What's going through your head?
It's an honor.
It's great to stand here between them
and watch them play "Jeopardy!" and occasionally remember
that I am also playing "Jeopardy!"
and ring in and get a question here and there.
It's really cool.
Well, welcome to the quarterfinals, Isaac.
Juveria is here from Ontario, Canada.
Proved in your last game
that you really are the second-chance queen,
emerging from the Second Chance tournament back in the day,
making it here into the quarterfinals.
Congratulations.
How are you feeling coming off that dramatic win?
I think if someone told me this two years ago,
I would have laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed.
It doesn't feel real, but I'm so thrilled to be here.
Now, Matt had mentioned the other TV show he wants to be on.
You have a new favorite guilty-pleasure TV show.
Yeah, so I'm pretty good at "Jeopardy!"
but I would be terrible at "Survivor."
My brother is really good at "Survivor,"
but would be even worse at "Jeopardy!"
But we find middle ground in "Traitors."
- We bothlove"Traitors." - "Traitors."
Who from "Jeopardy! Masters" would be good on "Traitors"?
Roger Craig would be a great traitor.
Boy, you didn't hesitate for a second.
No, because he's so nice, and people would be like,
"Oh, I'll tell you all my secrets."
And then he would kill them in the night.
[ Laughter ]
That's what we love in "Jeopardy! Masters."
It's time for Double Jeopardy! now.
Isaac, you're in third place, so you'll select first.
Let's take a look at your categories, Masters.

But Juveria's late push means

Here is your category, Masters --
Colonial America.
Think about that and make your wagers.
We'll be back with the clue in just a moment.
Stay tuned.
We're going back in time a few centuries
for Final Jeopardy! today.
Colonial America is the category.
And this is the clue.
30 seconds. Good luck.
We'll start in the middle with Isaac Hirsch,
5,000 points in front of him. And he wrote down...
"Who are the Sons of Liberty?"
That's a good guess, but it is not the Sons of Liberty, Issac.
You wagered 10 points. Interesting.
$4,990 now for you.
Matt Amodio is in second place with $18,000.
What did he come up with?
"Who are the Green Mountain Boys?"
That is correct --
the militia defending what would become the state of Vermont.
So you'll add how much?
$3,000, taking you to $21,000
and the lead, for the moment.
Juveria is here, needs to get this right.
Did she come up with the Green Mountain Boys?
Oh! She had Sons of Liberty as well.
So she will lose...
$6,201, dropping her down to second place with $13,599,
which means Matt Amodio comes from behind
to score his first win of the season.
Great game, everyone. Congratulations, Matt.
3 match points for Matt as our winner.
1 match point for Juveria for finishing in second place.
No match points for Isaac in that game.
Let's take a look at the leaderboard, Masters.
Victoria and Yogesh tied up with 7 match points each,
but Victoria ahead on tiebreakers in first place.
And Matt Amodio, after that dramatic win,
catapults into the top three.
He's now in third place with 5 match points.
And those top three players -- Victoria, Yogesh, and Matt --
will be going head-to-head in our first game tomorrow
on "Jeopardy! Masters" as the quarterfinals continue.
We'll see you tomorrow.
