Boy, game shows are real sticklers these days. You have to check out this viral video of a Wheel of Fortune contestant losing over $7000 of his hard-spelled money for something as simple as minor mispronunciation.
Regardless of pop culture prowess, we’ve all heard those iconic titles that our brains automatically fill in. You say “citizen,” I say Citizen Kane! A “streetcar?” A Streetcar Named Desire! Or, you could be like this Wheel of Fortune contestant, who brain-farted out what might be the biggest mistake in game show history.
When I was in College we used to watch "The Wheel of Fortune" religiously, o.k. so yes it was part of a drinking game, but anyway we watched it. Now it is not as much fun, but everyone once in a while this happens.
I can't personally imagine the feeling of seeing $1 million slip through my fingers. This contestant on Wheel of Fortune not only knows how that feels, but is probably still kicking himself for this flub.
