"Wheel of Fortune" consistently entertains its audience, often sparking laughter, particularly when contestants make notable mistakes.
In an engaging recent episode, the audience was surprised by a contestant's unusual answer during the triple toss-up puzzle part, with the theme being ‘SHOW BIZ.’ Contestant Gishma offered an inventive response to the puzzle ‘TH_’ ‘_RITI_S’ ‘_GR_E.’
"The British Ogre," she guessed.
"Say it again," prompted host Pat Sajak, who had earlier announced his intention to retire from the show this year. When Gishma repeated her initial guess, Sajak responded with amusement, remarking, "Uh, no." He was expecting the correct solution to be "The Critics Agree."
While some audience members found the mistake amusing, others were less kind in their reactions. "How about that British Ogre," someone commented on X. "That has to be the worst guess ever."
This girl guessed ‘The British Ogre’ on wheel of fortune and the second hand embarrassment was overwhelming. She wouldn’t even look at the camera for a sec," another remarked. "I feel bad but man that s--- was funny."
"This show never fails to LOL with contestants," another viewer wrote. "The British Ogre sounds like a cool band name," a slightly more positive post read. "To be honest I prefer THE BRITISH OGRE because the puzzles could use some more wacky originality sometimes," another pointed out.
Even though Gishma didn't get the correct answer, she still managed to win a significant amount of money. By the episode's conclusion, she had earned $15,853 and won a cruise.
As the year draws to a close, fans of "Wheel of Fortune" are preparing for the upcoming exit of Pat Sajak, who has declared his intention to retire from hosting in 2024. However, the show will retain some of its classic feel, as Vanna White has renewed her contract to continue through the 2025-2026 season.
