What Changed?

There’s a reason for the drop in viewership. It’s not that wheel watchers lost interest in Seacrest. They’re tuning into another blonde-haired man. Drew Goins stole the spotlight on Jeopardy! He was the alternate for the Tournament of Champions. Ultimately, he made it all the way to another tournament.

Drew suffered a wardrobe malfunction during his debut on the show. He wasn’t wearing an undershirt, and viewers noticed they could see his nipples through his sweater. Drew also got a question about Taylor Swift wrong during his first time on the show. But he was able to redeem himself. Drew quickly became a fan-favorite during the Second Chance Tournament.

As a result, 8,430,000 viewers have tuned into Jeopardy! Those wheel watchers are watching Drew instead. It sounds like Seacrest has some hefty competition. So far, Drew is in second place with $17,600. What are your thoughts on Jeopardy! topping WoF in the ratings? Does this surprise you? Let us know in the comment section.
