Oh, dear.
Wheel of Fortune was bashed online after a recent episode, where a contestant attempted to guess a bonus puzzle for the chance to get the grand bonus price of $45,000. The game show player, Angela, was asked to guess the letter "M, H, D, and O" with the prompt "_ O _ N _ N _ THE _ R _ _."
This bonus question was under the “What Are You Doing?” category. Angela did try her best, to the point that she almost cursed. "Joining the cramp, joining the cra-, oop!" she answered. "Joining the brag?!"
Unfortunately, she was incorrect. Longtime host Pat Sajak revealed the answer to be ‘joining the fray.’ "You got joining…that was a really nice try," the host laughed encouragingly.
While the host and the audience were quite tame in their reactions, people online sang a different tune. "#Angela on @WheelofFortune got a piece of CRAP bonus round. I have NEVER heard of 'Joining the Fray' before in my ENTIRE life. Can we get some kind of sponsor to give this woman a prize?" one Twitter user wrote. "What the hell kind of puzzle was that??? Come on now. Ridiculous!!"
Angela, who was a good sport, said that her incorrect guess was no problem at all. She still took home a whopping price of $20,563.
