So, is Austin Rogers Gay? As they always do after the first commercial break, Alex Trebek briefly chats with each of the contestants to learn a little bit more about them. When it came to Rogers, he told a story about mountain climbing and being trapped by a small avalanche of snow (the word for it, I can’t quite remember, but it would make for a good Jeopardy answer). Rogers couldn’t move with all the snow piled on him. When his “partner” came over to him, he laughed at him for about ten minutes before digging him out.
His use of the word “my partner” had the internet buzzing — did he mean “partner” in the gay way or was it more in the “workout buddy” way? As Austin live-tweeted the episode, he made sure to clear that up:
CLIMBING PARTNER! CLIMBING PARTNER. His name’s Chris. Check it out with him. EASE UP.#jeopardy#austinonjeopardy@Jeopardy

Not that there’s anything wrong with it.
We’d love to have that lovable and playful goofball on our team. Either way, we’d all love to get drunk with Austin Rogers.
