'Wheel of Fortune' Contestant Receives Audi After She Controversially Lost It on the Show

etonline.com:

 contestant Charlene ended up getting her Audi after some fans were outraged on her behalf. Charlene made headlines in December when she missed out on a new Audi due to a timing rule on the longtime game show that many were unaware of.Charlene made it to the final round of her episode, where the category was «What are you doing?» Though she at first guessed a wrong answer — «choosing the right card» — she eventually said the right phrase, which was «choosing the right word.» However, host Pat Sajak said that because she paused too long in between guesses, she would not get the prize, which was an Audi Q3.«This one's tough because you said all the right words, including the word 'word' but as you know, it's got to be more or less continuous,» Sajak said. «We'll allow for a little pause but not four or five seconds.

I'm sorry, you did a good job in getting it, but we can't give you the prize and it was the Audi.»Watch the video… Agree? Disagree?

On tonight's S39 E72 #Charlene the contestant had 10 sec to solve the final puzzle: «CHOOSING THE RIGHT… WORD» She did and #won! @WheelofFortune said, no due to #rules! @ABC#ABC#WheelofFortune is the #Grinchpic.twitter.com/9NXjBFapHDPlenty of viewers were not happy with the decision.«Come on @WheelofFortune, the woman literally chose the right word.
