As a certified "former gameshow autist" myself, allow me to contribute a nugget from my youth.

Back in the day, there was a UK kids gameshow called Trapped! which was basically an "eliminate the saboteur" game but with a spooky tower. It also had a legit online game which i thought was kinda cool i guess.

Anyway, in Series 2, Episode 9, we see a kid named Alex and he completely fucked up the challenge he was supposed to sabotage, failing to do it and everyone knew it was him. However, we would see him again...as Scaredy Kat from Rupaul's Drag Race.

Yeah, the tranny-brigade have been around for a while.

Added, I was thinking about adding him in a game show lolcows of history section but it wouldn't really make sense since I already added past horrorcows.

Nice addition he's sorta the prototypical Game Show Lolcow the only difference is that he actually won a ton of money.
 
Good work, OP. I once did a little bit of research into Thomas Schneider to see if I could make a full-blown thread on him because I too got tired of seeing him pushed on Jeopardy at every moment, the production crew even going as far as putting him IN THE TITLE SEQUENCE and making the camera linger on him for a few frames longer than anyone else during that season's titles. Him being far older than your typical troon, he seems to understand the concept of not sharing every waking moment on the Internet for everyone to see so I never found much beyond a few of those no-name, unsourced listicle type aggregators, some fluff pieces on Jeopardy's website, and a couple of his socials. I did at least seem to confirm that Thomas was once a married man who gave his marriage up for his fetish, though...

Thank you for this thread. I am into game shows. I am a conservative. Jeopardy and Wheel have been ruined by going woke. Jeopardy went downhill after Alex Trebek died. Then Wheel of Fortune went downhill after Sajak's retirement. Sajak was the best host. Liberals went crazy when Pat did a tweet back in 2014 joking the global warming/climate change hoax. Then in 2022 they went crazy after Sajak posed with MTG. I actually run a ROBLOX game show group. There is so many woke members in this game show community. I am one of only a few conservatives in the game show community. I just wanted to have fun. I noticed so many other roblox groups did PRIDE celebrations in June. I didn't do any.

As for Astrid, it gets even worse. It turns out Astrid is also a Hamas sympathizer. My friend who is a member of my group took these screenshots at yesterdays show of The Price Is Right on Mikey Does Stuff. Astrid also joked about Trumps tariffs resulting in "budget cuts" for a ROBLOX show, which he doesn't understand, we are bringing manufacturing back here in America rather than importing overseas, and I know it was a joke to criticize Trump on these tariffs, these tariffs have no effect on ROBLOX game shows. The price of ROBUX hasn't changed since the tariffs. I actually knew who Astrid was back in 2017, back when he was MikeTheKav with he/him pronouns. He was very rude even back then, and is even worse now, now that we know he is a tranny, a Hamas sympathizer, and has far-left views. I think he called one of my other members a "transphobe" just because that member was a supporter of Donald J. Trump back in 2020, then again in 2024.

Sperging about Politics in a kids game is still retarded as hell, and it's unsurprising given this dude and how he is. He isn't the only one who politispergs a ton, I know that iiAwesomeJ this dude who is in a lot of the groups and is heavily obsessed with Disney Channel Shows is also a massive politisperg and when he discovered that I was talking about him and other game show people he had a snarky post on bluesky about it, and then there's of course Jacob "Jsach" Sachleben who's a kiss ass for Buzzerblog and shares their political positions.

Interestingly enough one time when the biggest Roblox Group, Game Show League, they wanted to do a pride event one year and I complained about it and I thought they were going to kick me out that time but they actually listened to me, albeit with grumbling about me, and then later I got blacklisted from the community because in this group called Price is Right Robloxia they were soying out about some gay couple that was on Wheel of Fortune and to be funny I gave a vomit react and Sachleben noticed and sicked the mods on me who wanted me to apologize but I didn't and so they banned me, which tells me that Jsach is basically the attack dog for the community and the biggest tattler. It showed me that the Roblox Game Show Community is basically ran by a clique of lolcows who will blacklist you if you go out of line with what they say, with it being particuarly egregious on the biggest groups.
 
iiAwesomeJ, I also knew him back in 2017. He was also very rude. It is not surprising that he is also a far-leftist, along with the others. I do see all his political posts on bluesky. I agree with what you said there, a lot of people in the roblox game show community are a bunch of lolcows. As for my group, there was actually a gay person, Alexman893 on June 1, 2025 celebrating the first day of pride month while playing Deal or No Deal. One member (the same person who took those screenshots of Astrid's far-left views that I posted earlier), said "boo pride boo". I thought that was funny, but Alexman893 thought that was disrespectful. By the way, Alexman893 was banned a few weeks later, which actually is not because to the fact that he was gay, but it was because he actually cheated on Wheel of Fortune on my group. Alexman893 likely used a website to help him solve the puzzles. Alexman893 always claimed he was not cheating, he just said he was "smart". It was always suspicious when he was solving the puzzles with little letters showing. I have an example of this, the last bonus round of him before he was caught. What do you think?
Category: Food & Drink
It is a 6 letter word.
In the bonus round, the letters RSTLNE are provided.
_____N
Then, the player always chooses three consonants and a vowel.
M,W,F,A (if i can remember correctly)
M_FF_N
You can clearly see what the solution is.
Now granted, M is a common letter to call, but F is kind of rarer to be called, and it just so happened that it was in the puzzle. I make the bonus round puzzles harder on purpose, of course because on the real show the bonus round puzzles are harder than the regular puzzles.
We paused the show. A few other people were suspicious, even before this. Alexman893 was sent to the courtroom, which is where we handle major disputes, and most agreed that he cheated.
And again, Alexman893 just claimed he was "smart" and "did not cheat".
Alexman893 also does not use proper grammer.
Also, he was constantly being annoying to another member of the group (the same person that astrid called a "transphobe" for supporting trump), repeatedly asking that member questions.
Again, there were some other far-leftists, even in my group, on my new years eve ball drop celebration in 2025 (recreation of the Times Square Ball Drop), one of my members said "Project 2025 is now in effect". That person doesn't understand that Trump had nothing to do with Project 2025, and he wasn't even inaugurated for his second term at that time.

I think the perfect example as to how they acted was after the election, they were all bawling and freaking the fuck out thinking that they were somehow going to get genocided by an authoritarian dictatorship. I've posted them before but here's the reactions they had.
CnP_10082025_205759.webp CnP_10082025_205804.webp CnP_10082025_205811.webp CnP_10082025_205851.webp CnP_10082025_205857.webp CnP_10082025_205913.webp
 
Yeah. I remember his first four years from 2017-2021. There was no dictatorship. And here we are again, almost 7 months into his second term, we are not in a dictatorship. The insanity of the far-left members in the roblox game show community is crazy. This is part of why the left lost the last election. Such as iiAwesomeJ's comment about "voting for a convicted rapist instead of a women", reminds me of the many comments I see of people claiming Kamala lost because she was a woman, when it had nothing to do with that, people saw Biden's disaster of a presidency, record inflation, open borders, and crazy stuff. Trump is doing a really good job, I am glad that Kamala Harris didn't win, That would have been even worse than Biden's disasterous presidency. And, I had no idea these people were far-leftists back in 2017, 2018, 2019, but I did note that they were really rude back then, but I started finding out some of these people in the game show community were leftists around the 2020 election, and I lost all the little respect I had for them when they supported Biden in 2020. And they also call the 2024 election a "stolen" election. It was not. Trump won all 7 swing states, as well as the popular vote, the first time for a Republican to win the electoral vote since 2004. Now outside of this game show community, I know a lot of people who did vote for Donald J. Trump, I live in Pennsylvania (a swing state). The 2024 election was the first election I got to vote in, and I do not regret my vote for Trump. And I do remember one of my leftist members of my own group on our first episode of Wheel of Fortune after the 2024 election, who said "I am sad because Harris lost". Well, that's too bad. The voters rejected Harris.

All i'm going to say is that if you getting angry about politics while doing Roblox Game Show stuff what the hell are you even doing? If you're that upset about politics you might as well just go and find someone to complain about it with in a political server or with a psychiatrist instead of having to vent out in a place that has nothing to do with politics.
 
And Thomas Schneider appeared on Jeopardy! again today, the show is in it's 6-week period of summer reruns where they rerun some of the tournament games, and they had him on the tournament. He is not that good in tournaments, he only won one tournament in 2022. But his 40-game run from 2021-2022 was strange, as you said, it seemed like the show was giving him weak opponents such as Cory Anotado so he could become the biggest "Female" winner in Jeopardy! history, although it is illegal to rig a game show, it did seem like it was rigged in favor Thomas Schneider.

The other notable thing about Michael Larson was that one of the Producers, Bob Edwards (?), knew that there was something fishy about him, and attempted to block him from going on the show, but Bill Carruthers overruled and allowed him, and the rest was history.

I mean the way I see it is if he was told he couldn't get on the show Michael would have likely sued them and CBS and he likely would have gotten a good settlement out of it and used that money in his pyramid schemes. Even then I think if it wasn't him someone else would have found a way to exploit the loophole in the game and won big money, either that or the staff would have found the loophole and closed it before it became an issue.
