'Jeopardy!' champ trashes 'glorified reality show' in unhinged rant, calls out 'racism'
Three-time “Jeopardy!” winner Yogesh Raut took to social media to criticize the game show, likening it to a “glorified reality show” and insinuating its viewers are racist.
He pivoted to discuss his experience from the game show, saying, “Yet today I’m receiving the most attention, praise, congratulations and nasty trolling from strangers of my life…and for what? What did I do to get the biggest paycheck of my quizzing career? I beat two guys.”He emphasized and clarified that this post was not meant to be an attack on Connor and Andrew — the contestants he beat.
This so-called “non-standard bughouse version of chess,” according to Raut, would merely be “a derivative game designed to introduce high levels of variance that constantly threaten to swamp out differences in skill level, on a glorified reality show.” Yogesh Raut targeted his criticism at the viewers of “Jeopardy!” and how the beloved game show is seen as “the Olympics of quizzing.”“The fact that actual quizzing continues to be a fringe subculture in the shadows is what allowed racists, misogynists and outright sexual harassers to thrive in collegiate quizbowl for so long. It’s the reason unapologetic bigots remain in positions of high power at major pub quiz companies,” Raut continued.
“Toxic White entitlement, like toxic male entitlement, is real, is genuinely harmful, and is not going anywhere,” he continued. “There’s been a lot of back-patting in the quizzing community recently, talk of how we’re undergoing a ‘reckoning.’ I see no reckoning.”
