Claire Sattler recently opened up about the harassment and bullying she received after winning Jeopardy!‘s teen tournament. Claire won the 2018 Teen Tournament and took home the $100,000 grand prize, but her achievement was met with a lot of backlash.
“Twitter very much decided I was the villain of the finals for some reason other than the fact that I talk a lot,” Claire said to the Naples Daily News in 2018. Most recently, she aired out her feelings and the truth about what happened in a TikTok video.
Someone had asked, “What was it like being on teen jeopardy?” She followed up with “stalkers,” “nationwide bullying,” and “being accused of having $3x with a 79 year old man [host Alex Trebek] (as a 16 year old) for the answers (because you weren’t smart enough to win on your own apparently).”
Back in 2020, Claire gave some advice to those who were aspiring to be on the game show. “I would say, get your plastic toilet paper holder out and learn how to buzz. And I would say study up on, situationally, what you should do for betting,” she said.
“There’s only a few betting strategies you should employ, but if you don’t know the strategy of the game before, it’s hard to come up with those ideas on the spot.”
