Fans Outraged After ‘Wheel Of Fortune’ Refuses To Give Prize To Woman Who Answered Correctly

Fans of “Wheel of Fortune” are outraged after contestant Megan was denied $40,000 for her response. Megan, a high school choir director, faced the puzzle “_ N’R _ _ _” under the “Living Thing” category. She guessed “Pink Orchid,” but was told it was incorrect.

Viewers believe she said the correct answer and expressed their frustration on social media. One viewer said, “The woman got screwed on the #WheelOfFortune bonus puzzle tonight; she totally said ‘PINK ORCHID’ right at the start.” Another fan argued, “I rewound the final puzzle after hearing the competitor remark ‘pink orchid’ at the beginning. You owe her some $$$.”

Fans have been increasingly critical of the show, including a recent dispute over a rhyme in the “Rhyme Time” category. Jill, a contestant, guessed “Absolutely Positively,” which many viewers argued does not rhyme. One viewer tweeted, “Hey @WheelofFortune. Could you please clarify how these two words rhyme? Because they most definitely do not.”
