Drew Basile Spotted With Girlfriend At Baseball Game
Drew Basile has become a familiar face to many television fans. He was on Survivor, which he almost won, and then he headed to Jeopardy!, where he qualified for the next Tournament of Champions. This means people recognize him when he is out and around town.
Drew attended a Philadelphia Phillies game with his girlfriend, Mary Grace, earlier this week. Mary posted a photo on her Instagram Stories, which has since timed out, that showed the two of them spotlighted on the Jumbotron for the crowd in attendance to see.
Drew and Mary have been dating for three years, and the two smiled and waved to the crowd. This moment came just two weeks after Drew lost on Jeopardy! after a seven-game winning streak. He had beaten Adriana Harmeyer, who was on a 15-game winning streak.
Drew Basile Responds To Jeopardy! Haters
Drew Basile was polarizing on both Survivor and Jeopardy! On the survival show, many people saw him as a know-it-all. On Jeopardy!, fans felt he was arrogant and showed no respect, thanks to his outward celebrations when he won.

In an appearance on Rob Cesternino’s Rob Has A Podcast, Drew mocked the people who trolled him for his attitude. “The negative people… they’re retired, they’re a little bit older, you know?” Drew said. “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 even said that he had some moments on Jeopardy! that had to be re-recorded because he got too excited about a win. That is one thing that soured many fans, who were cheering for him to lose. However, Drew also said he doesn’t mind being the heel for those fans.
Despite the naysayers, Drew won $129,601 (third best on the season so far) in his seven wins (also third best this season). Basile ended his regular run on Jeopardy! with 40 incorrect answers and 184 correct answers, and he went three-for-eight on Final Jeopardy! questions.
Drew Basile will return for the next Tournament of Champions, which will air in February 2025.
