Survivor alum Drew Basile recently impressed fans by winning seven straight Jeopardy! games, and he’s already thinking about coming back for the next Tournament of Champions. Appearing on Rob Has A Podcast, hosted by former Survivor contestants Rob Cesternino and Stephen Fishbach, Basile opened up about how he’s preparing for the Toc, where he could potentially face off once again with super-champ Adriana Harmeyer, the contestant he toppled from her 15-game winning streak. Basile said when he got the call to play Jeopardy! the first time, he only had three to four weeks to prepare, which meant lots of cramming, including scouring various Jeopardy! fansites and making flashcards on topics he wasn’t as knowledgeable about, such as food and drink, pop culture, and music. For the Toc, he’s hoping to have eight months of prep time, though he admitted he hasn’t been told when exactly the tournament will film.

When asked which of the two hosts was more intimidating, Basile immediately said, “Dude, Jeff is so much more intimidating [than Jennings]. Jeff has been doing this s**t for 20 years, he has condensed himself, it’s his whole life. And Ken is just a regular guy.” “I mean, Ken is great,” Basile continued. “But when I’m talking with Ken,...

If recent Jeopardy! champion Drew Basile wants a chance to beat super-champ Adriana Harmeyer in the next Tournament of Champions, there is one area he needs to improve on, according to 2017 Toc winner Buzzy Cohen. Basile’s seven-game winning streak came to an end last Friday (June 28) as he blundered on the Final Jeopardy question. Despite this loss, the Survivor alum had already cemented his spot in the next Toc, where he could very well come against recent 15-game winner Harmeyer. Speaking on the latest edition of Inside Jeopardy! podcast, Cohen and Jeopardy! producer Sarah Whitcomb Foss compared Basile and Harmeyer’s stats, with Foss pointing out how, “One stat that isn’t quite as great for Drew is Final Jeopardy.” “Obviously, with so many runaways, he didn’t need it very much, but he was only three for eight [on Fj], so about 38 percent,” she added. “When you compare that to Adriana,...

Drew Basile‘s time on Jeopardy! has come to an end. The Survivor alum finally lost on Friday, June 28, after winning seven games and qualifying for the Tournament of Champions. His winnings total was $129,601, but says his performance was ‘terrible’ in the game that saw him exit the show. He was eliminated after giving the wrong answer in Final Jeopardy. Basile was defeated by Cat Pisacano, who beat him by over $10,000. Basile finished with just $1,201 while Pisacano’s finale score was $11,500. Initially struggling in the first Jeopardy round, the Survivor star came back with a total of $9,600 after Double Jeopardy. It was the Final Jeopardy question that did Basile in, however, risking $8,399 on the category “Notable American Women.” The question was: “In her autobiography she tells of a rather ‘singular coincidence,’ that one of her Swiss ancestors was a teacher of the deaf.” Basile incorrectly guessed Gallaudet. The correct answer was Hellen Keller.

Drew Basile finished his Jeopardy! stint with an impressive seven-day run before finally losing on Friday, June 28. However, along the way, a record was almost broken by one of his competitors. On Monday, Erin Buker was one of the competitors, and she almost broke the record for the lowest score in history.
Here is a look at how Erin did in the game and what she had to say about her futility.
Jeopardy! Contestant Almost Sets All-Time Worst Game
Stay-at-home mother Erin Buker was on Jeopardy! and she finished the game with the second-lowest score in history. Her final total in the game was -$7,200. This put her, obviously, in last place behind Drew and Graham Hicks.

Erin Buker earned the second-lowest score in Jeopardy! history on Monday.
A mother from San Pedro, California, Buker ended her episode with a score of -$7,200, a low that was just in front of contestant Patrick Pearce’s $7,400 in 2021.
But Buker isn’t worried about appearances. On the show’s Reddit forum, she talked about her experience on Jeopardy!
“It was a day to forget for Erin indeed! Unfortunately, they taped what little I was able to forget about it,” Buker wrote. “When it came to the buzzer, I was my own worst enemy, frequently buzzing in midway through the clue as if my thumb had a mind of its own. There’s something uniquely frustrating about knowing answers, but not having the wherewithal to ring in at the appropriate time to answer them — that was my deficit and I own it entirely.”

Survivor alum Drew Basile continues to dominate the Alex Trebek Stage as he became a six-day Jeopardy! champion on Wednesday night (June 26), but his gameplay style and emotional reactions are dividing fan reaction. After ending the 15-game streak of Adriana Harmeyer last week, Basile has started to rack up an impressive run of his own, clinching his sixth win in a row on Wednesday. However, some viewers think he is “arrogant” and doesn’t show enough humility, especially when it comes to congratulating his opponents. “There’s a difference between healthy self-confidence and egocentrism. He lost me when didn’t even shake the hand of the man with whom he tied in Final. An air of real narcissism,” wrote one commenter on the Jeopardy! Instagram page. “A sore winner,” said another, referencing how Basile often pumps his first or claps for himself when he gets an answer right or wins an episode.

For a while there, it looked like Jeopardy! Season 40 was a bit cursed. As good as they were, five-day champions remained just that — worthy champs like Alison Betts and Amy Hummel just couldn’t get past the five-win mark. Then, Adriana Harmeyer came along and burst through that five-game ceiling again and again (and again and again and… you get it). Now, the newest reigning champ, Survivor alum Drew Basile, is here to prove that the supposed Season 40 curse is gone for good. On Wednesday’s (June 26) episode, Basile faced off against Natalie Miliano, a manufacturing engineer manager from Maine, and Maryl Harris, a study operations manager from Philadelphia. Coming into the evening, Basile boasted five consecutive wins with a cash total of $91,283. With mere inches to go before making it a six-figure sum, Basile surely brought his A-game … and it paid off. In the first round, the new contenders...

Jeopardy! host Ken Jennings couldn’t resist doing his best Jeff Probst impression after 15-day champion Adriana Harmeyer was defeated last week by former Survivor contestant Drew Basile. In a newly-released post-game clip, which was shared on the June 24 edition of the Inside Jeopardy! podcast, Jennings chatted with the contestants after last Wednesday’s (June 19) episode, where Harmeyer’s dominant run came to a devastating end at the hands of the ex-Survivor castaway. Harmeyer was looking for one more win to put her in the top ten longest-winning streak’s in the show’s history. Unfortunately, she came up just one episode short, though she still walked away with almost $350,000. In the clip (at around the 20-minute mark), Jennings asks Harmeyer, “How does it feel now being a 15-game Jeopardy! champion, you know how the story ends?” “Of course, I would have loved to keep going, but 15 is a nice good number,...

Erin Buker made history when she appeared on Jeopardy! on Monday night (June 24), just not how she would have wanted, as she walked away with the second-lowest score in the game show’s history. For those that missed the episode, Buker, a stay-at-home mom from San Pedro, California, faced off against reigning champion and Survivor alum Drew Basile and lighting designer Graham Hicks. Throughout the game, Buker consistently buzzed in too early and ended up shut out of Final Jeopardy due to her score of -$7,200. As many fans pointed out, this was the second-lowest score in Jeopardy! history, just behind Patrick Pearce, who ended the July 26, 2021 game with -$7,400.

That was a close call! After trailing in second for much of the game, Survivor alum Drew Basile managed to continue his Jeopardy! winning streak in the Tuesday, June 25 episode. And his win came off the heels of a special message from Survivor host Jeff Probst that Ken Jennings helped arrange. Basile was left speechless by the kind gesture. Jennings informed Basile during the game that Probst learned of his Jeopardy! success and is proud. “He was like, ‘What a great kid! He was amazing on our show.’ He was so delighted to hear you’re doing well here.” Probst hosted Rock & Roll Jeopardy as Jennings said, and is a “big friend of the show.” “Wow,” Basile responded to the words of support. “I don’t know what to say.” It may have brought Basile good luck, as he secured his fifth consecutive win later on.

Recently, Jeopardy! saw Ken Jennings name one new player, Drew Basile, a “Giant Killer.” Notably, that is an Alex Trebek’s coined phrase. However, that isn’t Drew’s only goal with his time on the show. Seemingly, Drew is still chasing the elusive $1M prize he missed on Survivor.

Within the last week, Drew Basile has gained a spot on Jeopardy! after taking on the champ, Adriana Harmeyer who now holds the 11th Jeopardy! longest streak. Along with that win, Drew is considered a “giant slayer” after ending the extended run of luck that Adriana displayed.
