‘Wheel of Fortune’: Student Dances With Ryan Seacrest After Losing $66,000
Nestor Cruz won $21,795 and a Mexican Riviera cruise before missing a $45,000 bonus envelope that would have lifted his total to $66,795.
- Wheel contestant Nestor Cruz danced with Host Ryan Seacrest after missing the Bonus Puzzle, forfeiting a $45,000 prize on the game show.
- PhD student Cruz, from Tacoma, Washington, competed against Brady Campbell of Riverside, California, and Brittany Greene of Jacksonville, Florida, building an early lead with $9,250 after solving 'Rubbing' a 'Magic Lamp.'
- For the final round, Cruz chose 'Event' as his category but couldn't solve 'Auto Auction' after receiving letters 'R,S,T,L,N, and E' plus 'I,C,D, and M.'
- Ryan Seacrest joined Cruz on stage, swaying together after the loss, and told him he was a "fun" contestant who danced after every puzzle solve.
- Earlier in the game, Cruz won a Mexican Riviera Cruise and accumulated $21,795 in total winnings, though he fell short of the bonus round's additional $45,000.
