The Wheel of Fortune has been a beloved game show for decades, with its interactive nature allowing viewers to play along from home. However, a recent episode has left fans shocked and outraged after a contestant was refused a prize.
A choir director from California, who was competing on the show, attempted to solve a challenging puzzle in the “Living Thing” category. The puzzle consisted of just two words, and the contestant, Megan, was determined to solve it. As she selected letters, more of the puzzle was revealed, and it seemed like she was on the verge of solving it.
With just seconds left on the clock, Megan started making guesses. As she spoke, it sounded like she said “Pink Orchid” or something similar. However, the show’s host, Pat Sajak, revealed that Megan’s answer was incorrect, and she would not be receiving the $40,000 prize that was on offer.
The decision sparked a heated debate online, with some viewers claiming that Megan did indeed say “Pink Orchid,” while others argued that she said “something orchid.” The show’s producers stood by their decision, leaving Megan empty-handed.
The incident has left fans of the show outraged, with many taking to social media to express their disappointment. While the show’s rules are clear, many feel that Megan’s answer was close enough to warrant the prize. The debate continues, with no clear resolution in sight.
