For years, I’ve thought I was alone in my hatred of Alex Trebek. I’d watch Jeopardy, the condescending/evil smirk Alex would give contestants whenever they would risk all their $$ on the Daily Double and get it wrong (and despite that smug look, I’m sure that deep down, Alex knew he didn’t know the answer either!).

My boyfriend, who is great at Jeopardy, thinks I’m crazy: “Who doesn’t like Alex Trebek? He’s the best game show host since Bob Barker. And he’s Canadian. Who doesn’t like Canadians?”

There not too many things I actually dislike. In fact, I am in love with several things that others find annoying—scotch tape, the sound of loud-clackity shoes approaching, people who talk loudly on cell phones (as long as they’re saying something interesting that I can work into a future story).

And so when I say there are two things that I hate, I mean it! I hate Alex Trebek,and I hate mayonnaise!

One of the joys of social networking sites is that you can find out you’re not alone:

From a Twitterer named @HEALTHANFITNESS: Do you know that I hate Alex Trebek? I really, really hate him.

From a Twitterer called @dino_rider: Hate this guy so much.

And last but not least, from an @PhilthePill: Alex Trebek is kind of a Dick.

Nirav Shah, I’m cheering for you! You’re from the BK, just like my BF, so show America what you can do!

It’s 7:00 p.m., so guess what I’m watching? Jeopardy. One of the contestants, Marlene, is a sister with a gorgeous Afro. Good luck to Marlene and to all of the contestants! :)
