US Edition‘Wheel of Fortune’ Fans Debate Ryan Seacrest’s Major Hosting Mistake
- During the May 20 episode of Wheel of Fortune with host Ryan Seacrest, a participant from Wheelersburg, Ohio, who works as both a minister and a deejay, ended up hitting bankrupt in the Mystery Round.
- Chad spun again without being reminded by Seacrest that he did not need to spin for a guess, leading to landing on bankrupt and losing over ten thousand dollars plus the wild card and home wedge.
- The wild card provides an option to trade for a fourth consonant guess in the Bonus Round, making it more valuable there unless a contestant needs to catch up during main rounds.
- Reddit users debated whether Ryan Seacrest should remind contestants of wild card rules, with some praising the host as 'mostly great' while others disliked reminders as former host Pat Sajak did.
- The incident sparked speculation that the show's producers might reduce reminder cues to prevent contestants from having an increased chance of completing the Bonus Round and claiming jackpots, possibly due to budgetary concerns.
