Out Canadian Mattea Roach continues her winning streak on "Jeopardy," and is again bringing queer representation to the forefront on the popular quiz show. Earlier this year trans contestant Amy Schneider had a streak of 40 wins, second only to the show's current host, Ken Jennings, who won 74 straight wins in 2004. But for Roach, sexuality is not all that germane to her winning streak, though she has been open about it. "She hasn't made a big thing out of her sexuality, but nor is it a secret," writes the website Coast Reporter. "Her Twitter bio, which reads "lesbian, Nova Scotian, 19x Jeopardy champ," was deliberately crafted to satisfy viewers' curiosity because she figured people might wonder." With her wins, Roach is the sixth-longest running contestant in "Jeopardy" history. "Her cumulative winnings now total over $460,000 as of her 19th game Friday, and she boasts a 92% accuracy rate in her responses, per 'Jeopardy!'," reports CNN. "Roach is also the latest LGBTQ 'Jeopardy!' super-champion after Amy Schneider's triumphant run on the show. Schneider, a trans woman, earned more than $1.3 million in a 40-game win streak earlier this year, one of the longest streaks in the show's history," CNN adds. "It's been such an honor and a pleasure to be part of what has been such an incredible a legacy of queer and trans champions," Roach said in an interview with GLAAD, the LGBTQ media advocacy organization. "And also just queer and trans contestants really, like, showing up on the show and bringing a lot of flavor, I think, has been really fun for me to watch as a viewer."⁠ ⁠ Tap link in bio to continue on @EDGEmedianetwork⁠ ?️‍????⁠ ?: CBC
