First the “historical” 90s-inspired American Girl dolls and now “obsolete” DVDs?
Millennials received yet one more not-so-subtle reminder they’re getting older — this time on Tuesday’s episode of “Jeopardy!”
Host Mayim Bialik, 47, asked contestant Audrey Satchivi, a senior studying psychology at Indiana University, if she had any quirks she could share with the audience.
“Yeah, so I’m type of an old soul,” Satchivi explained. “I’ve been collecting some things which can be type of obsolete now.”
“I’ve been collecting records, CDs, and DVDs. I just got a latest DVD, and I’m really enthusiastic about it, but I miss my childhood a little bit bit I assume,” she concluded.
Glancing down at her cue card, Bialik laughed and uttered a transitional “alright,” skating right past Satchivi’s declaration.
But Twitter users heard it loud and clear, quickly expressing their astonishment.
“I just shriveled up into dust when Audrey said her collection of ‘obsolete things’ included ‘records, CDs, and DVDs,’” one person moaned.
“Young People: ‘I’m an old soul — I collect DVDs.’ I’m over the hill, aren’t I?” one other asked.
“This young girl on Jeopardy saying she’s an ‘old soul’ who collects DVDs. I do know I’m old but in the event that they still have DVDs within the Redbox they will’t be THAT obsolete,” yet one more laughed.
“This school contestant on Jeopardy yesterday said she likes collecting vintage things like DVDs and I believe that’s the primary time I heard someone say that,” another person mused.
“Similar to how last March was the primary time I heard someone use the term ‘middle-aged millennials,’” one other deadpanned.
Satchivi is a contestant within the High School Reunion Tournament, which features 27 former teen competitors.
Satchivi first appeared on “Jeopardy!” throughout the 2018 Teen Tournament, where she won $10,000 as a semifinalist. She took home an extra $5,000 on Tuesday’s episode.
In other “Jeopardy!” news, many viewers weren’t glad with the hosting schedule announced on Monday, as some want Ken Jennings to be the franchise’s sole host as an alternative of splitting duties with Bialik.
