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.
There were only two letters left before the puzzle was complete, and it read “BULB, BEA__N, SUN, STARS.”Sajak reminded her that she needed to “call a letter that’s in the puzzle, and she hesitantly guessed “H?”The audience audibly reacted in dismay, and one person could be heard crying out, “Oh no!”She lost out on her chance to get the coveted prize, and another contestant then correctly solved the puzzle by saying “Bulb, Beacon, Sun, Stars.”Later on, she managed to get a chance at the wedge once again, but she was unable to solve.Viewers in the audience weren’t the only ones to have a big reaction to the first flub – fans at home took to X, formerly Twitter, to react to the moment.“Who screens these people?” one person asked.“She just blew the chance at $1M with that H guess!!!” another exclaimed.One viewer simply asked “H?”This reaction is a change of pace for “Wheel of Fortune” fans, as many complaints lately have been about the show itself."H"?@WheelofFortune #wheeloffortuneIn an episode that aired last.
