No, the present didn’t obtain a wholly new set; it’s nonetheless the identical one which we’ve had since Season 30, however with extra modifications. The only largest change was the sport board changing into one massive display screen. Different adjustments included a brand new monitor for Closing Jeopardy, and the golden arches on the stage ground had been changed with circle outlines. Final however not least, a bodily Jeopardy! brand was added on prime of the set when the postseason tournaments started,” a Reddit person stated.

As for set adjustments, followers hope to see the Jeopardy! brand behind host Ken Jennings‘ head moved to a distinct spot, making the lecterns look extra fashionable, and new LED fixtures added behind the backdrop.
One subject that quite a lot of followers agreed on is rising the worth of the clues.

They should be elevated once more, it’s means overdue,” a Reddit person stated. Many agreed with the feedback, with some saying the values ought to be “retroactive.”
One massive change that just about all the followers agreed on is the tournaments. Some assume there are too many, others assume they need to be spaced out. One fan thinks that since Jeopardy! Masters and Superstar! Jeopardy acquired low rankings, and they need to be canceled, however Superstar Jeopardy! was already renewed for a fourth season.
“Area out the tournaments extra evenly as an alternative of holding them back-to-back. For instance, maintain Second Probability in November, Champions Wild Card in February, after which ToC in Could,” one fan stated. “Scrap Second Probability and Champions Wild Card altogether, and convey again the opposite annual tournaments which might be at the moment on hiatus, such because the Teen Event and Faculty Championship.”
“Don’t make Jeopardy Invitational an annual factor as a result of after two years, viewers are starting to get fatigued from that one.

And I feel it’s arduous for folks with solely 4 wins or extra advancing. In season 41 TOC, there was a necessity since there have been inadequate areas for 15. The outdated tournaments like Teen, Faculty, and Lecturers Event are OK to revive!” stated one other.
“My view is that whereas I like and admire the event construction, it actually must be clearly set out for followers what it’s going to be and it could’t be modified on a whim when the general public that watch this program should not on-line on a regular basis. You have to actually spell it out for folk. I’d additionally wish to see an explainer about why these gamers want a second likelihood or acquired into champions wild card for those that won’t bear in mind who they’re,” one final fan stated.
