‘Wheel Of Fortune’ Fans Blame Ryan Seacrest For Player’s Loss
Certain parts of Wheel of Fortune require quick play. However, on a recent episode, viewers at home felt that Ryan Seacrest cost a player a win because he talked too long. As a result, the fans thought that the contestant, Sabrina, was “robbed.”
Here is a look at what happened and if Ryan had anything to do with it.
Wheel Of Fortune Costs Sabrina A Big Win
On Wednesday’s episode of Wheel of Fortune, three great contestants were fighting for victory. Steve was a fan favorite, thanks mainly to his outgoing personality. Kira was the big winner, going home with a new car. However, it was Sabrina who many fans feel was robbed in the episode.
Before Kira made it to the finals and won the gamer by guessing “Take Your Time,” she fought tooth and nail with Sabrina and won with just over $4,000 more than her. However, Sabrina could have had more if not for a lapse in the show during an important
This happened in the Triple Toss-Up round with the theme “Person.” Sabrina got the first one with “Long Lost Friend” (she had four letters remaining), and Kira got the second one with “Friend of a Friend” (she had 11 letters remaining). However, things went wrong with the third one.
Kira buzzed in too soon. The puzzle read “FRE—Y,” and Sreve buzzed in and said, “Friendly,” which was wrong since that is not a Person. Sabrina wanted to buzz in, but Ryan was talking as the letters kept filling up the puzzle, so she never had the chance to guess “Frenemy.”
Sabrina might not have won. But this would have made things more challenging for Kira at the end.
Fans Feel Sabrina Was ‘Robbed’ On Wheel Of Fortune
In a Reddit thread about the game, the OP wrote that Sabrina was robbed. They wrote, “I feel badly for her. They messed up the triple toss up with Ryan talking which prevented her from getting to buzz in.”
- “Yes, I came here to say that. Ryan misheard Steve and asked him to repeat, but the letters kept populating and Sabrina didn’t get a chance.”
- “They did resume the puzzle too quickly. They should have waited for Ryan to say that FRIENDLY was wrong. But Sabrina’s buzzer should have been active once the letters resumed.”
- “That threw me too. I noted in another post it seems like something was off with the audio because there were 2 other instances where Ryan needed the contestant to repeat.”

I absolutely agree that Ryan messed up here. Sabrina should be offered another slot as a contestant to make it up to her.
