A "Jeopardy!" contestant is grabbing viewers’ attention as she revealed her quirky hobby to fans.

Indiana University student Audrey introduced herself as an "old soul" during the game show’s High School Reunion Tournament.

"Yeah, so I’m kind of an old soul," she pointed out. "I’ve been collecting some things that are kind of obsolete now."

"I’ve been collecting records, CDs, and DVDs. I just got a new DVD, and I’m really excited about it, but I miss my childhood a little bit I guess," the nostalgic contestant added.

Audrey’s introduction shook fans on Twitter as viewers were quick to comment on the millennial’s "old soul" hobby.

"I just shriveled up into dust when Audrey said her collection of 'obsolete things' included 'records, CDs, and DVDs,'" an outspoken fan declared.

Another person wrote, "This young girl on Jeopardy saying she's an 'old soul' who collects DVDs. I know I'm old but if they still have DVDs in the Redbox they can't be THAT obsolete."

"Young People: "I'm an old soul - I collect DVDs. I'm over the hill, aren't I?" a baffled viewer commented.

A "Jeopardy!" fan reacted, "This college contestant on Jeopardy yesterday said she likes collecting vintage things like DVDs and I think that’s the first time I heard someone say that. Just like how last March was the first time I heard someone use the term ‘middle aged millennials."

Another wrote, "The girl on Jeopardy just said ‘I like to collect old things’ and then talked about her DVD collection. Gonna go jump off a cliff now."

Audrey made it to the "Jeopardy!" semifinals as a high school senior and is months away from graduating with a degree in both Clinical Psychological Sciences and Hispanic Linguistics.
