Recently, Jeopardy! fans are expressing how tired they are getting of the current champ’s obnoxiously cocky winning style. Although the Survivor alum, Drew Basile, is “acing” many of the questions on the show, he is rubbing fans the wrong way with his ego.
Drew Basile Has An Abundance Of Confidence
While Jeopardy! and Survivor fans are getting a treat with an unexpected crossover having new champ Drew Basile charting his way through his winning streak, not everyone loves the experience. Undeniably, he is having a good run on the show. Making his first mark by defeating reigning champ, Adrianna Harmeyer, he has since had several close calls on his journey. But his confidence is unmatched with his reality TV experience only adding to his ego. Now, some fans are going on strike until the ego-centric winner moves on.
Drew Basile Makes The Tournament Of Champions
In Jeopardy! Instagram and X posts, the show congratulates Drew Basile for earning his spot in the Tournament Of Champions. The caption says: “Watch out, there’s a new ToCer on the block and it’s @SurvivorCBS alum Drew Basile! #Jeopardy!” In return, Drew replies in a tweet, “Honored to make the ToC, thanks for all the support from Jeopardy fans as well as the Survivor community.” Further adding, “They’re not kidding when they say it’s a family. And special shoutout to @anthonyd46 for all the content, screengrabs, etc.” In one screenshot is holding his arms up showing off his muscles.
