‘Wheel of Fortune’ fans furious at Pat Sajak for ‘impossible’ bonus puzzle
Pat Sajak is at it again with his puzzlng antics.
Fans of “Wheel of Fortune” were furious at Sajak, 76, after a contestant lost out on a $100,000 prize for a puzzle that has been deemed “impossible” by viewers.
Contestant Cesar Redaja had to complete a phrase during a special bonus round on Thursday’s episode, but many fans claim it wasn’t a “phrase” at all.
The energy was high when Redaja got the highest score of $26,393 — but things went south when it came time for the special prize round for extra cash.
He chose “phrase” for his bonus round and chose the letters H, G, M and A, and the phrase read: “THAT _AS A ____TAL _A_T_R.”
“That was a … uh…” Redaja started to guess as the 10-second timer went off, not allowing him to finish.
The solution ended up being: “That was a pivotal factor.”
Fans took to social media to slam the puzzle, saying that’s not an actual phrase people use.
“‘That was a pivotal factor’ no one says that smfh,” one person tweeted.
“‘That Was a Pivotal Factor’ is a ‘phrase’ in the same Universe that Bon Jovi is ‘Metal’,” someone quipped.
“Yeah, I’m always going around saying ‘That was a pivotal factor!’. It’s so common!!! How could he not get that?!” joked another.
This isn’t the first time “Wheel of Fortune” fans have slammed the show: Sajak’s bizarre behavior has been a hot topic lately.
All in recent episodes, Sajak has put a contestant in a chokehold; claimed he hides in letter-turner Vanna White’s garden; asked a contestant to remove his shirt and tugged on a contestant’s beard. Earlier this month, he scolded a contestant who grabbed the envelope in the show’s bonus round: “Don’t ever do it again!”.
