Watching at home, fans couldn’t swallow the result and lashed out at the show over Megan’s answer, feeling it was wrongly marked wrong.
One viewer griped, “The woman got shafted on the bonus puzzle tonight; she clearly said ‘PINK ORCHID’ from the get-go.”
Another added, “I checked with the judges right after! I lip-read and use subs ’cause I’m deaf in one ear. She said ‘Pink Orchid.’ No doubt!”
A third fumed, “I’m fuming! She said it, pink orchid! What the heck?”
Fans also blasted the show for other recent slip-ups, like a rhyming row in an Express round on January 22.
Two contestants were stumped by a rhyme puzzle, but Jill guessed two “y’s” to make “Absolutely Positively.”
Viewers hit back, saying it wasn’t a rhyme. One wrote, “Hey @WheelofFortune. How do these two words rhyme? They don’t!”
