Jeopardy!‘s Tournament of Champions is soon upon us, and a photo of super-champs Amy Schneider, Matt Amodio, and Mattea Roach has fans even more excited for the upcoming series.
The image, briefly shown during a TV promo video, shows the three trivia experts glammed up and standing with their arms folded. Schneider dons a pink dress, which allows her to show off her arm tattoo, while Roach rocks a new cropped hairstyle and tan suit. Amodio, meanwhile, wears his now trademark sweater and khakis.
“POV: you pull up to bar trivia, but this trio is your competition,” one fan tweeted while sharing the photo. “When I first saw that promo, that stance they’re all in kinda intimidated me,” added another viewer.
