The blunders continue as this latestWheel of Fortunecontestant just missed out on $100k. Life-long friends,Kim and Yolandateamed up on Wednesday’s episode as the duo had the chance to win a major prize, only to get stumped on the answer. And they were not the only ones, as fans were starting to question the level of difficulty of these puzzles.
Kim and Yolanda’s Bonus Round theme was “Living Things” and were given the letters E, N, and S. The duo then guessed D, M, P, and I, only to have the vowel show up in this one-letter word answer. During their 10 seconds, Kim guessed either “Penguins” or “Geniuses,” both of which were incorrect.The correct answer was “Begonias” and missed out on $100k.Fortunately, they’re not walking home empty-handed as they’re taking away $31K.
Fans Continue To Rage at New Season
The studio audience was not the only ones that were shocked tonight. People on the show’s YouTube comments were also disappointed, with some asking when there would be a major prize winner. In addition, viewers also continued to rage at these latest answers as many of them also had not heard what a “begonia” was,only to learn that it’s a type of flower.But the biggest loser of all of this has to beRyan Seacrestaccording to fans, as people on X/Twitter and YouTube felt bad for the show’s newest host to break the bad news every single time this happens.
“I love how Ryan Seacrest has to open those losing 100k envelopes again like he’s surprised they actually pulled it.”
