My hilariously horrible incident on Wheel of Fortune

GovernorWatts enjoys the show. Did you? See what I did with the money: • John Gibson gets schoo...

[@matthewleverich7488]

Well, for every "Enjoy The Show" or "Magic Wand" fail, there's a "Tough Workout" or "New Baby Buggy" out-of-nowhere impossible solve. So I guess it balances out.

[@ReturnOfMoonwalk5000]

Matthew Leverich don't forget the "Debit Card" fail.

[@JeopardyandWheelFan]

When was that DEBIT CARD fail? I remember the last time I saw DEBIT CARD was on October 24, 2008 where the contestant won $100,000 for solving it, just ten days after Michelle Loewenstein won $1,000,000.

[@musicianniaz]

Sometimes, in order to solve these puzzles correctly and quickly, all you need is a little fish love.

Don’t forget ‘Minors and Hoes’ 😂

Even Bill Rafferty, former game show host said he was cool and calm before doing a show until he heard the announcer yell, "from television city in Hollywood"

[@adamsamuel8593]

I'll never understand why people encourage this 'pressure' talk. There is no such thing as pressure on a person. We are not machines. Either you know or you don't know.

Easy to say it's a no brainer watching from the comfort of home. Try being in front of a crowd, cameras, beneath hot lamps, feeling your heart in your throat, scared out of your letter-men's sweater... Pressure is a hell of an adversary.

Same. I thought "Endof the show" but couldn't figure out why there wasn't a space.

[@ifutureman]

Damn dude that was painful. I was on Wheel and "Lose a Turn" cost me the final spot. Thankfully I did solve one puzzle and took home about 6k. You are a trooper for sharing this. I'm way too self conscious about mine!

[@dsoulliere]

Why did you pick “h”? I always wonder why pick a letter you’re absolutely sure is up there in the final round. Pick other letters to try and help.

[@Get_Ogre_Here]

Honestly before the H came I was thinking "Enjoy the snow"... I'm not very bright : ^)

[@christophero1496]

It’s a guaranteed answer.

[@Charles.Wright]

That is the exact logic the creators expect you to use, causing you to miss out on a crucial letter!

[@natnat1975]

Don't feel bad, bro. I'm on a role of getting...I don't know how many puzzles in a row...very quickly. A long record for myself. But, I struggled on this one, too. I was doing the same thing you were doing until I relaxed and it just popped into my head at the last second. But, I have never experienced the pressure of being out there in front of the world! So, props!

Leave the guy alone I bet it's really hard when you have the cameras on you it's just not as easy when you're sitting at home in your living room

[@hungryhippowdon7141]

You will never hear a more vocal response from the crowd than that when reacting to failing a bonus puzzle.

[@NickWrightDataYT]

The problem is the letter "O" is in fact several letters stacked on top of each other in a trench coat (cow, bow, bot, etc). Bro just got caught on one of them.

This is the best explanation I've heard in 21 years and it's the one I'm going to use from now on.

Don't know how the video is doing nowadays, but I found a link to it searching for the 2003 PC edition of Wheel Of Fortune. It brought this video up on Page 3 of the list. The total search criteria is "wheel of fortune 2003 exam". AFAIK, this occurred because Google had re-done how its searches functioned, and KZbin uses that engine as a base for its Search feature.

BLISSFUL FAPPER it is called pressure from being watched from milliona of people

[@starwarsrebel2006]

Special needs people are often the ones who figure things out the rest of us can't. You should watch the movie, "Rain Man." Dustin Hoffman stars as an autistic person whose brain is like a supercomputer. A woman tells him her name and he responds by saying her phone number and home address because he has memorized the entire phone book. His brother (Tom Cruise) takes him to Vegas and they bankrupt the casino because he has memorized all the cards the dealer has been dealing.
