Good day, @WheelofFortune. I rewound the final puzzle after hearing the contestant say “pink orchid.” One angry viewer demanded, “You owe her some $$$.”
All right, @WheelofFortune. If you replay tonight’s show to solve the last puzzle, you’ll clearly hear her say “pink orchid.” You didn’t give her credit. Play it back. She really said it!
“Wheel of Fortune” fans have been slamming the show more during this scandal for what seem like mistakes, like a recent spat over a rhyme in an Express round. On January 22, the audience lost it when the show seemed to mess up a “Rhyme Time” answer.
Two contestants were stumped by the chaos, but Jill, the third, guessed two “y’s” to get “Absolutely Positively.”
Fans strongly disagreed, saying “Absolutely Positively” isn’t a rhyme.
One viewer wrote, “Hey @WheelofFortune. Can you explain how these two words rhyme? ‘Cause they definitely don’t.”
