Ryan Seacrest is coming into his own as the Wheel of Fortune host. However, as this is his first season, there are a few little things that he has not completely gotten used to yet. This has caused many fans to lash out because they seemingly expect him to be perfect right out of the gate.

Here is what Ryan recently forgot to do on an episode that has fans calling him out for it.

Ryan Seacrest Forgetting To Take Back Wildcards On Wheel Of Fortune

When a person has a Wildcard, they can hold onto it, and then, if they make it to the Bonus Round, they have a chance to win a special prize. However, if a person lands on bankruptcy, they must surrender the Wildcard. In a recent episode, Ryan forgot to take back the Wildcard from a player after a bankrupt spin.

In a recent episode, Ryan didn’t remind a player to turn over the Wildcard after the bankruptcy. It all worked out since they didn’t go to the Bonus Round, but it could have been bad if they did make it and carried it on over. A Reddit thread had fans discuss this moment.

According to the OP, Pat Sajak never reminded players either in the start. However, this led to a problem in the “Teen Best Friends” episode in January 2007. They never handed it over and then went to the Bonus Round with it. They didn’t win the puzzle, but it could have caused problems if they did.

For Ryan, the OP wrote, “I’m not sure if he’s been forgetting too much or he’s just being lazy to remind the player.”

Here is a sample of things that fans seem to be nitpicking about Ryan and his hosting job:

  • “I think the more annoying thing is when he doesn’t remind them to call a letter before they solve in the last round when time is running out. Lady today lost out on 1500 or so.”
  • “Oh my god, I hate the way he shows the money and the bonus round. He holds the card up against his chest and builds up the suspense, and it’s 40K. Sad slide whistle.”
  • “I find Ryan to be very self promoting about his other gigs and his other sponsorship deals in the WOF show.”

However, there are other fans who love Ryan in his role, with one saying they prefer him to Pat Sajak, who they called “snarky.”
