Roach, for her part, wasn’t so concerned. Still, when an American news network tweeted about the “lesbian tutor’s” impressive run - which currently gives her the sixth longest streak in the show’s history - people were up in arms, saying her sexuality has little to do with her success. Her Twitter bio, which reads “lesbian, Nova Scotian, 19x Jeopardy champ,” was deliberately crafted to satisfy viewers’ curiosity because she figured people might wonder. She hasn’t made a big thing out of her sexuality, but nor is it a secret.
