Pat Sajak defends ‘dumb’ ‘Wheel of Fortune’ contestants: ‘Have a little heart’
took to Twitter on Wednesday to share a lengthy thread in which he called on viewers to “have a little heart.”“It always pains me when nice people come on our show to play a game and win some money and maybe fulfill a lifelong dream, and are then subject to online ridicule when they make a mistake or something goes awry,” Sajak stated. “Last night’s ‘Feather in your cap’ puzzle was a case in point. Sitting at home, it seems incredible that they couldn’t solve it, but I knew in real time what was happening,” the veteran host explained, claiming the contestants were “flailing” due to the pressures of being on TV.
