‘Wheel of Fortune’ Blasted After Contestant Loses $100,000 on ‘Ridiculous’ Puzzle

Wheel of Fortune has been slammed by fans after a contestant lost out on $100,000 after being given a “ridiculous puzzle.” Viewers said it was the “toughest puzzle ever” with some saying that it was “impossible” to solve. The controversy came as the episode on Friday May 2 capped off a week when none of the Bonus Round contestants won their puzzles. The player who missed out was Kristyn Hobbs, from Fort Cobb Lake, Oklahoma, who competed against Annelorrie Brown, from Wellington, Illinois, and David Fisch, from Brooklyn, New York, on Friday, May 2. Hobbs shared that her husband recently built her a greenhouse and she planted over 1,500 seedlings. She solved the first two toss-ups, putting $2,000 in her bank. The game didn’t start off well as all three game show contestants landed on Bankrupt during the first puzzle. Brown, a self-proclaimed fashionista, solved most of the puzzle, but couldn’t figure out the last letter.
