Fans of “Wheel of Fortune” are outraged after contestant Megan was denied $40,000 for her response. Megan, a high school choir director, faced the puzzle “_ N’R _ _ _” under the “Living Thing” category. She guessed “Pink Orchid,” but was told it was incorrect.
Fans have been increasingly critical of the show, including a recent dispute over a rhyme in the “Rhyme Time” category. Jill, a contestant, guessed “Absolutely Positively,” which many viewers argued does not rhyme. One viewer tweeted, “Hey @WheelofFortune. Could you please clarify how these two words rhyme? Because they most definitely do not.”
