“Wheel of Fortune” watchers don’t think Thursday’s bonus puzzle was fair.
Contestant Cesar Radaja, a clinical pharmacist from Tampa Bay, Florida, entered the special prize round with $26,393, but the final phrase he had to solve proved difficult.
In the bonus round choosing “Phrase” as the category, Redaja chose the standard letters “LNRSTE” with the additional letters “HGMA”, he attempted to solve a four-word puzzle that read “THAT _AS A ____TAL _A_T_R”. Did.
When her husband cheered her off-stage, she began to guess, “He was a… uh…”, but she failed to guess the answer correctly, which was “He was an important factor.” Was.”
Host Pat Sajak said the phrase was a “tricky” one as he showed Radja the amount he had won, which he guessed correctly – $100,000. This was only the fourth time the amount was selected for the bonus round prize money this season.
Sajak called the large amount of prize money “fake money” in an attempt to comfort Radza, who left the game show with his $26,000. Viewers expressed their dismay at the combination of words, claiming that it is not used often enough to be guessed.
“‘Was that an important factor’???” a user wrote, “Who ever said that??”
“Yeah, I’m always going around saying ‘That was an important factor!’ This is so common!!! how did he not get it?! another user sarcastically wrote, “What is wrong wheel of Fortune,
