Eagle-eyed Wheel Of Fortune fans pointed to a recent epic fail on behalf of the show, where the winner was prematurely revealed. This was a spoiler that viewers did not ask for, leaving many watchers outraged. So, what are viewers saying about this recent situation?
Wheel Of Fortune Fans Are A Sharp Bunch
When it comes to a popular game show like Wheel Of Fortune, which has been around for decades, the loyal fans who have been following it for years know the game inside and out. Beyond watching game show episodes and staying up on all of the rules, many people take to message boards like Reddit to further discuss the game.
This is also true for other popular game shows like Jeopardy! It’s a way for fans to connect with other watchers, and delve deeper into various aspects of the game, such as strategy and more. In many instances, these platforms have been used to bash new host, Ryan Seacrest, too.
Fans Call Out Editing Fail Spoiling Game Outcome
In recent scenes, savvy Wheel Of Fortune watchers called out a bad edit that essentially spoiled the outcome of the game. Many viewers had to confirm with other viewers to make sure that they saw the same thing, and the consensus seems to be that this was clearly an editing fail that was missed. Either way, commenters had plenty to say about this recent situation.
- One commenter said: “Did anyone see the spoiler? During the trip montage they showed the winner spinning the final wheel. That happened right?”
- A second commenter chimed in, adding: “After we saw the spoiler and knowing how far down she was at that point, my wife guessed that the final puzzle spin had to land on $5k. Sure enough.”
- A third person chimed in, adding: “While the announcer was discussing the prize round’s trip to Spain, the montage showed a small clip of the eventual winner spinning the wheel! It was even more of a shock considering how behind they were from the other two contestants at that point.”
Ryan Seacrest Not To Blame For This Shocking Wheel Of Fortune Fail
Since Ryan Seacrest has taken over as the Wheel Of Fortune host from Pat Sajak, watchers have regularly found things to blame him for. Watchers tend to point out every single instance in which Ryan does something differently from the way that Pat would have done it.
However, in this recent Wheel Of Fortune instance of spoiling the eventual winner prematurely, it was clearly someone in the editing department (and not Ryan Seacrest) who was to blame for this recent error.
