FORMER Jeopardy! contestant Drew Basile has been seen on a date with his girlfriend, Mary Grace, at a baseball game and was captured on the jumbotron.

The couple attended a Philadelphia Phillies game at Citizens Bank Park earlier this week, and the Survivor alum didn’t go unnoticed.

Mary posted a photo of them on her Instagram Stories, showing the pair – who’ve been dating for three years – smiling and waving at the crowd as they appeared on the big screen.

They seemed to enjoy the attention in the packed stands, as did those around them, who were also excitedly waving at the camera.

Mary tagged her boyfriend in her post while pointing out their moment of fame.

It comes weeks after Drew, 23, ended his impressive seven-day winning streak on Jeopardy!

He upset champ Adriana Harmeyer, 35, breaking her 15-year winning streak, and advanced on the show.

Drew celebrated his victories with his girlfriend, one of which was after he succeeded his opponents in an ultra-rare tiebreaker and earned over $53,000.

He shared photos on social media of him and Mary enjoying a few drinks at a Philadelphia bar while watching the episode.

Mary posted the same snaps on her page, including her t-shirt with a cheeky saying that read, “I’ll take being cute for $200.”

However, Drew’s time on the show wasn’t all fun and games, as he received brutal backlash about his behavior on camera.

Critics claimed the Michigan native was unlikeable on the show and called out his “obnoxious” celebrations each time he won games.

Drew would pump his fists, clap for himself, and pound his chest when host Ken Jennings, 50, announced him as the winner.

The reality TV star clapped back at haters during an appearance on Rob Cesternino’s Rob Has A Podcast, making it clear they would not bring him down.

“The negative people… they’re retired, they’re a little bit older, you know?” Drew said.

Jeopardy! Host Timeline

Jeopardy! has had a tumultuous history regarding hosts after the death of the iconic Alex Trebek in 2020. Here are all of the hosts since the game show’s inception in 1964.

Art Fleming – 1964 to 1975, he was the original host of the daytime version of Jeopardy! on NBC.

Alex Trebek – 1984 to 2020, the late, great Alex hosted Jeopardy!’s modern iteration for 36 years until his death from pancreatic cancer.

Guest hosts – 2020 to 2021, Jeopardy! tested out a series of guest hosts for week or two-week stints, including Anderson Cooper, LaVar Burton, and Aaron Rodgers.

Mike Richards – 2021, he was named host for one week before resigning amid controversy. He was the show’s executive producer at the time.

Mayim Bialik – 2021 to 2023, when Mike was announced as the show’s new host, Mayim was chosen to host tournaments and primetime specials.

Mayim and Ken Jennings – 2022 to 2023, 74-time champion Ken (the longest-winning contestant ever) joined Mayim as a guest host and they split hosting duties.

Ken Jennings – 2023 to present. Last December, Mayim announced on Instagram that she would “no longer” host Jeopardy! after a lengthy hiatus, having stood with the writer’s strike, and Ken was named sole host.

Ken now helms all editions of Jeopardy! including Celebrity Jeopardy!, the nightly show, and other primetime specials like Masters.

“They’re still grappling with technology. They haven’t figured out about spellcheck, for example.

“It’s hard to be that outraged when it’s a completely incoherent message.”

Drew added, “I love showboating. I think [because I have] a little bit more personality than your average winning contestant, [it] could have been a little unnerving for [some] viewers.”

Elsewhere during the interview, Drew revealed that producers forced him to reshoot a scene and asked him to tone down his enthusiasm.

“Obviously, I had a big reaction at the end of the tiebreak because, you know, it’s like a Western standoff,” Drew explained.

“I had such a big reaction that I think we had to re-record it. I was like, ‘Let’s go!’” Drew said, shouting and pumping his fists.

He added that Jeopardy! is “so classy,” and his reactions were very animated.

Despite Drew’s eventual loss, it was recently announced that he will compete in the game show’s Tournament of Champions, scheduled for February 2025.
