Wheel Of Fortune fans often empathize with players when they have a particularly bad round of luck during the final prize puzzle. However, the complete opposite was true recently, where a player missed one that she should have easily got right. So, what happened with this situation?
Wheel Of Fortune: Fans Slowly Warming Up To Ryan Seacrest
Before Ryan Seacrest made his debut as the new Wheel Of Fortune host, viewers were already grabbing their pitchforks and saying they wanted him out. While there are still a lot of people calling for him to be fired, he has also held his own amid all of the backlash.
A good sign that fans are slowly warming up to Ryan as the new host is that many people come to his defense when other viewers try to bash him. While Seacrest will always have people rooting against him since taking on such a high-profile new gig, he also now has people in his corner, which is saying a lot when you consider how things started.
Player Completely Botches Easy Final Puzzle
Sometimes, the final puzzles on Wheel Of Fortune are incredibly difficult. People often get a tough break when it comes to the letters they choose. Other times, it may be a category that they are not very familiar with. In these instances, most viewers can understand if someone does not get a difficult puzzle correct.
However, other times, they do get a lucky break with the letters they choose, where the puzzle is practically solved even before they take the time to call it out. This is what happened recently for a Wheel Of Fortune player. Unfortunately, she fumbled right at the finish line.
Wheel Of Fortune Player Loses Out On Easy Win
In recent Wheel Of Fortune scenes, Kathryn from Arlington faced down a puzzle in the “Food & Drink” category. With all of her letters accounted for, she faced a puzzle that read: “_RO_EN OR_N_E _ _ _ CE”
While the player had a lot of confidence before the ten-second timer started, she seemingly fell apart right at the finish line. She called out words like “orange” and “brown,” as she tried to get things going to complete the puzzle.
Unfortunately, she was not able to get the correct answer before the buzzer sounded. The correct answer to this Wheel Of Fortune bonus puzzle turned out to be: “FROZEN ORANGE JUICE.”
The way many fans see it, this was a no-brainer puzzle that this player should have won. Despite her initial confidence, she ended up coming up short.
