‘Wheel of Fortune’ viewers slam misleading ‘place’ bonus puzzle that cost contestant $100K

another “Wheel of Fortune” snafu.Fans have slammed the long-running game show once again as a contestant failed to guess what some viewed as a mischaracterized final puzzle on the episode that aired Wednesday night.After Laura Young, Spencer Morris and Briantae Maddox competed for the cash prize, however, some claimed that the bonus question was not categorized properly.Young, who was positioned to win a grand prize of $100,000, could not come up with the right answer after all four of her letter guesses failed to appear on the board.The final category was titled “Place,” with Young opting for the letters C, D, P and O with the show’s picks of R, S, T, L, N and E.Host Pat Sajak — who is leaving his post as the show’s long-time emcee later this year — didn’t look too happy with her choices, appearing to roll his eyes at her answers.With the puzzle reading “_R _ _EL ” “_ _ L _ _ _ _,” Young was unable to come up with the correct phrase before time was up. The answer? “Gravel walkway.”@WheelofFortune You don't know the difference between a place and a Thing!! Gravel Walkway is NOT a place.
