Wheel of Fortune” fans were audibly surprised by a moment on Thursday’s episode of the popular game show.Contestant Tara Brown beat the odds twice when she managed to land on the small $1 million wedge at two different points, and both times, she failed to secure the big prize.Fans of the show, hosted by Pat Sajak and Vanna White, know that the $1 million wedge works differently than the others – when a contestant lands on it and then correctly guesses a letter, they pick it up, and if they solve the final puzzle, then the $1 million prize will be available to win after the bonus round.The first time Brown obtained the wedge, it was when the contestants had nearly solved a puzzle in the “Let There Be Light!” category.

“Jeopardy!” tripped up its contestants with a question that combined geography and math.On the Feb. 15 episode of the game show, the Final Jeopardy clue was in the category “Landmarks.”The prompt given to contestants read, “The distance between its 2 legs at ground level is 630 feet, making it as wide as it is tall.”Diandra D’Alessio, James Tyler and David Bederman were all competing for the final spot in the Champions Wildcard semifinals, but struggled to provide the right answer.Both D’Alessio and Bederman guessed the Eiffel Tower, while Tyler suggested Christ the Redeemer in Brazil, but none of those was the correct response.The answer was, in fact, the Gateway Arch in St.

Mayim Bialik was axed as the co-host of “Jeopardy!” because the show needed more “consistency” with current host Ken Jennings, showrunner Michael Davies revealed to reporters.“When I took over the show, we were really forced into that situation from everything that happened before, the guest-hosting period,” Davies said at the annual Television Critics Association Press Tour on Saturday. The NBC game show rotated in hosts following the death of iconic host Alex Trebek in November 2020 at the age of 80 after battling pancreatic cancer.“Mayim was left hosting the primetime versions; I brought in Ken to guest-host once Mayim had her schedule on her Fox sitcom,” Davies said, alluding to Bialik’s Fox series “Call Me Kat,” which premiered in January 2021.“Over the past two-and-a-half seasons, what we’ve heard from a lot of television stations and other interested parties is that they wanted more consistency,” Davies said.

Drew Carey is coming clean about what makes him “want to scream” at contestants on the veteran CBS game show.In an in-depth interview on the Max series “Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace?” Carey, 65, told Wallace that he doesn’t understand the appeal of Plinko, the fan-favorite game — and that it drives him crazy at the methods contestants use to try to win money on the challenge. When playing Plinko, a contestant takes chips, which they’ve won previously, to the top of a game board and releases them, one at a time, into slots at the bottom of the board containing money amounts.Each chip is worth up to $10,000.“I don’t get it, honestly,” Carey said.

Wheel of Fortune” fans went wild on Friday after the showrunners seemingly bungled the answer to one of the categories.The awkward flub came during the show’s Express round when host Pat Sajak introduced the category of “Rhyme Time.”After being able to solve the puzzle, the answer read “Absolutely Positively,” which several critics of the show were quick to point out … does not rhyme. “Absolutely Positively is NOT a rhyme,” one person posted on X (formerly Twitter).“Hey @WheelofFortune,” another person wrote. “Care to explain how these two words rhyme Because they absolutely positively DON’T.”“Love your show and have for years… HOWEVER hello?! ‘ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY’ does NOT rhyme,” reamed another angry “Wheel” viewer.

fans are often quick to criticize contestants, and the winner of last night’s episode was no exception.A woman named Tina came out on top at the end of the episode and moved on to attempt to solve the bonus puzzle. When she was not able to guess the correct answer, viewers immediately took to social media to call her out.When she was allowed to choose the category for the bonus puzzle, Tina chose “Event.” After the six letters the show regularly provides and the four she picked herself, she was left with a puzzle that read, “M__OR _L____RD.”After making a face, her first guess was “minor blizzard.” She looked more and more panicked as time ticked down, repeating “minor” and trailing off.

Pat Sajak once again caused an uproar on social media after the longtime “Wheel of Fortune” host told one player to “shut up” during Tuesday’s episode — even though he was joking. The moment came just before the show’s bonus round when Sajak, 77, was tallying up the points from the most recent round. “According to my math, by $200…” Sajak began before he was interrupted by contestant Angela Omezie, who screamed when she realized she won the round.

wheely vicious.One “Wheel of Fortune” contestant found herself the butt of several online jokes after she missed a very easy bonus round puzzle. Contestant TaRhea Marshall managed to make her way into the legendary game show’s bonus round Friday with a whopping $25,898, and a chance to score a brand-new car.In the final round, Marshall was presented with the customary “R, S, T, L, N, E” letters after telling the show’s host, Pat Sajak, that she wanted to attempt the show’s “Food and Drink” category.After telling Sajak, 77, that she wanted to add the letters “C, B, G and A,” the puzzle read as: ” “BAGELS & _ _ _G_N_TS.”The pottery painter was then given 10 seconds to solve the mystery puzzle. Marshall attempted to solve the puzzle by shouting “bagels and beignets” and “bagels and croissants,” but she ultimately failed.

lead actress in ‘Poor Things’?Emma Stone is a really big “Jeopardy!” fan. So much so, that the Oscar winner applies to the game show every single year.“I apply every June,” she said during Variety’s Awards Circuit podcast on Thursday. “I don’t want to go on ‘Celebrity Jeopardy!’ I want to earn my stripes.”She continued, “You can only take the test once a year with your email address, and I’ve never gotten on the show.”If she by chance ever gets the call to join, she will be well prepared.“I watch it every single night, and I mark down how many answers I get right,” the 35-year-old exclaimed.

contestant Shauna Williams is going viral for not pronouncing an answer correctly — even though she solved the puzzle correctly. On Wednesday night’s episode, her incorrect diction cost her the win.The category was “Same Letter” and the response was: “congenial company & clever conversation.” “Congenial” was mispronounced and host Pat Sajak wasn’t happy to give her points.“Uh, no,” the longtime emcee, 77, said when Williams uttered the phrase wrong. Player Steve Sporre then said the reply correctly and scored the points.

Final Jeopardy! on Tuesday night in a moment fans are calling “absolutely tragic.”Contestant Sophia was in second place with $14,600 behind contestant Michael with $28,800, and Sharon in third with $5,800.The Final Jeopardy! clue was from the “Landmarks” category, and read, “During Pope John Paul II’s 1987 visit to Los Angeles, pranksters covered up this letter in a local landmark.”Sophia seemed confident with her answer as she was the first player to put her pen down and wait for the iconic “Jeopardy!” music to fade out. Unfortunately, she seemingly misread the clue, answering, “The Hollywood Sign,” which knocked her down to only $399 with her massive wager. Had she answered it correctly, she would have won the game.

due to an unfortunate mishandling of his cue cards.Sajak, 77 — who’s in his final season as the warhorse host of the game show — was getting set to ask Jason, a psychiatric nurse practitioner, about his relationship status when he mis-shuffled his note cards, resulting in an awkward exchange.“Married man?” Sajak asked Jason, who appeared confused by the question.“No, I’m single, actually,” he answered after waiting a beat.“You know, I’m sorry,” Sajak said, laughing. “I just messed up a card, hold on.

strikes again.“Wheel of Fortune” host Pat Sajak, 77, who has become notorious for his blunt comebacks, lobbied yet another verbal bomb at a contestant this week after she criticized one of the show’s puzzles. During the bonus round, player Jill tried to guess the phrase on the letter board with the category, “What Are You Doing?”The “Wheel of Fortune” letter board puzzle read, “_ _ _ C _ N _ _ _ R _ _ _ N _ _ N,” after Jill chose the letters “C, M, H, A,” which added on to the provided letters of “RSTLNE.”Jill tried to solve the puzzle by saying, “Blocking our… score… hmm… Working our… ahh no!”Once the buzzer rang, the answer to the puzzle was revealed as “Voicing our opinion.”After failing to provide the right answer – and losing a chance to win $40,000 – Jill complained, “What kind of puzzle is that?”Sajak quipped, “It’s a puzzle you didn’t solve.”Perhaps poking fun at his own infamous attitude, Sajak then said, “It’s getting testy here on Christmas.At the end of the episode, Sajak tried to make light of the matter and jokingly gave a recap of what happened.
