Wheel of Fortune - Yet Another Million Dollar Loss (1/16/2019)

Ouch. Again.
Keep in mind that this isn't the end of the world, someone will eventually win.

[@crazycoollady]

The fact that this happened 5 days after the last million-dollar failure is just devastating.

[@deja.vunathan]

Right?! And her reaction from 2:07-2:18 .... Completely understandable and it says it all. She handled that very, very well, especially given what a gut-punch that had to have been. Poor Kristen.

[@justrelax1539]

I saw BOTH of them those nights, so what are the odds of that happening 🤔🤔🤔

[@crazycoollady]

@@justrelax1539 As someone who also saw them the nights they occurred, I am quite shocked that those events occurred within one week considering how low the odds are of even bringing the million-dollar wedge to the bonus round in the first place. I was also quite saddened to see such losses occurring so close to each other.

[@hiltonlive32grnrngr]

Pat seemed genuinely sad for her. :(

[@deja.vunathan]

It's pretty hard not to be in such a situation. That one hurt.

[@the_elmeister]

@@deja.vunathan he’s always like that when somebody loses the million dollars like that. He feels so bad. He reacted like this so much back in 2001 to 2006 when $100,000 was treated like a huge deal on wheel. I don’t think anything was as painful as the one from five days prior when someone missed out on the million dollars solving the puzzle just after the buzzer.

Z is always a tricky letter to get. So it was basically the puzzleboard’s fault for making that answer unsolvable for her. Z is not an easy letter to imagine in a puzzle like this.

ouch... it had to be "annoying buzzer" couldn't think of anything else. the last million dollar winner was susan manchester in 2014... the season 36 million dollar loss was even worse... a relatively easy solve "FLIPPING THROUGH PAGES", but Kaia failed to beat the buzzer, and there was the "BAKED ZUCCHINI" bonus puzzle a few years back.

[@Mr.Face222]

[@mrhorgan]

I found this to be totally unexpected and worse than the one with "FLIPPING THROUGH PAGES"...

[@justinclick4731]

Mrhorgan I know

[@philipalt9560]

This one hurts because we were too fresh from the disappointment of “flipping through pages”, but unlike that puzzle, she wasn’t going to solve this puzzle without calling a z. When she got the a and b revealed (first letter of each word), I thought she might have a chance, but then you’re thinking of possibilities, you’re not going to think of buzzer in 10 seconds or less without some clue. Maybe if Pat had given a clue like “This is what you’ll hear in 10 seconds if you don’t solve the puzzle”, she may have gotten it. But they aren’t allowed to give those kinds of clues. I bet next time the million dollar space is landed on in the bonus round, the contestant will solve the puzzle because we’re due. We’ve had four opportunities in the last 14 plus months where the only thing missing was solving the bonus puzzle. That’s as many opportunities as in the previous 9 years, and 3 of those 4 resulted in a million dollar win.

[@hiltonlive32grnrngr]

They need to either get rid of it or make it easier. Currently, you need to get the million tag, not go bankrupt that round, get the most money total (which high score can be negated by disproportionate last group puzzle), spin tiny wheel and land on the right million mini-tag.

[@TheOfficialGuineaPigOfYoutube]

GUYS this is the reason you shouldn’t jinx things. It can really ruin your life

[@richardhernandez4490]

It's NEVER a good idea to pick THING in the BR. Almost always, the puzzle was going to be a nasty one. And recently with the Bonus Category choices, WHAT ARE YOU DOING is second banana to THING in puzzle difficulty. A lot of people have picked WHAT ARE YOU DOING in the Bonus Round and Harry has an evil trick up his sleeve for that category too. UGH. For future contestants, do NOT pick THING OR WHAT ARE YOU DOING...Harry has a knack for evil puzzles in both those categories for the BR.
