Wheel Of Fortune’s Rare Week

This past week on Wheel Of Fortune fans and viewers had the chance to witness something that is super rare. The game show had a “Perfect Bouns Round Week,” this is the first time in a long time that every single Bonus Round of the week has won. This has only happened four times in the past 13 years. Fans and viewers went on Reddit and quickly noticed the impressive streak. One user shared a very detailed post sharing their thoughts on the rare event.

According to the post, all five Bonus Rounds were won during a season when it had become unusual to see even one win per week. The last time a perfect week happened was in April of 2022, then before that was May of 2021, and then June 2015. This is a very significant milestone that has only been reached a few times in over a decade. Fans on Reddit shared that they are impressed by the contestant’s luck this week, and listed the categories and puzzles solved during the Bonus Rounds. The post became very popular in the Wheel Of Fortune community, as viewers also shared their excitement about the historic week.

Has Ryan Seacrest Put Bad Luck On The Wheel?

The positive news is not the only thing that caught fan’s attention. In a different Reddit thread was a highlighted series of unfortunate luck where contestants kept landing on the “bankrupt” wedge. One user did note that there were four shocking bankruptcies in a row. The unfortunate events led to some conversations online about whether the show’s luck had changed since Ryan Seacrest took over as host. Since his debut in Season 41, some viewers have noticed more frequent bankruptcies and a few even claim that Ryan might have some “bad juju”.

They also have said that the wheel could be missing the former host, Pat Sajak. In September 2024, Seacrest talked about the unlucky streak the show was having, and even responded humorously as three contestants landed on the “bankrupt” wedge. As the unlucky streak continued, Ryan jokingly said ” Should we have a conversation with the wheel?”. Trying to lighten the mood for the contestants about the crazy turn of events. There is an 8.33 percent chance of landing on a “bankrupt” wedge, and as it is rare, the increase of players landing on them has certainly caught the attention of fans.

While the historic moment of the show has occurred, it reminds us of the unpredictable nature of Wheel Of Fortune. Anything can happen when the wheel spins. What are your thoughts on the week’s winning streak? Is Ryan Seacrest really bad luck? Let us know what you think in the comments.
