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.

“This is the best promo pic of all time,” wrote one excited fan, while another added, “This Tournament of Champions is gonna be bananas. I cannot wait.”

Even the official Jeopardy! Twitter account got in on the fun, joking, “Album drop when?”

All three fan-favorite contestants will compete in the next Tournament of Champions, which kicks off on Monday, October 31, and sees the most winningest players from the previous season return. There will be six quarterfinals games, followed by three semi-finals, and then an ultimate final. As super-champs, Schneider, Amodio, and Roach receive an automatic bye into the second round.

Schneider won 40 consecutive games and $1.3 million during her time on the show, while Amodio won 38 games and $1.5 million. Roach, who appeared on the show this past May, won 23 games in a row and $560 thousand.

    Who cares? Amy is a pleasure to watch because Amy is a very good champ.

    Not a fan of Mattea due to her posturing and affectation, but looking forward to seeing Matt and Amy.

      She is 23; you should cut her some slack.

        Not really. Her ego is a match for Mayim's.

      I know. She ,like Mayim, poses and gestures as though she's enacting a kiddie book to toddlers for dramatic effect.

    My favorite are Matt Amodio and Ryan Long. All of them deserve respect from fans.

    I like all three and respect their intelligence. They are all fun to watch, especially Mattea.

    Posture and posturing are two different things, look them up. Mattea is even worse than Mayim B. about striking a pose for dramatic effect.

      Again, the girl is only 23.

        She's very intelligent, especially for someone so young, but still SO annoying...

      2. G

        GreenTurtle

        By that age and with her intelligence, she should be past playacting. She's a bot too full of herself.

      3. B

        BluePlanet

        She's old enough to vote, serve in the military, make informed decisions, raise children etc.. At that age, it's all about her ego and self importance.

    Absolutely not. SHE.

    If you are rudely referring to James Holzhauer, he is one of the current experts in residence on The Chase. This TOC only applies to winners from the last season, James was prior to that constraint.

    As far as I know, Amy is trans, Mattea is just gay.

    Why the defensive pose?

      PurpleFlame

      Because it's a competition.

    Matt needs to answer in complete sentences, using verbs. Not what Nixon, or what blue

    1. R

      RedToast

      Please look up the definition of VERB. Matt's answers are grammatically correct, in the form of a question. I know you may not like his use of "what's" for his responses, but nevertheless he's still smarter more skilled at the game than you are.

      How silly. Ditto for those who exclaim how they never watch when Bialik is hosting; sure, I prefer Jennings but just not all that bothered over people that don't please........
