It seems that Wheel of Fortune fans have been frustrated over the last week. There have been a few Reddit threads that have popped up with fans complaining about one thing or another. Many have started bashing Ryan Seacrest again as he continues to settle into his hosting role. However, a different thread had fans just wanting to vent and reveal their pet peeves.

Here is what many fans say bothers them about the popular game show.

Wheel Of Fortune Fans Frustrated Over Bad Gameplay

Some Wheel of Fortune fans have been disappointed with the game show for a while now. It mostly started when Pat Sajak announced his retirement, and fans didn’t want him to go. When Ryan Seacrest took over as host, many fans rebelled. However, Ryan has won over many fans, leaving others looking for other things to complain about.

In a recent Reddit thread, fans decided to vent by listing their pet peeves from the popular game show. The OP kicked things off by saying that nothing makes them angrier than when someone chooses an “I” and a “G” in a “What Are You Doing” final puzzle.

There is a good reason for this pet peeve. Wheel of Fortune gives automatic letters with “R, S, T, L, N, and E.” Most of the phrases in this puzzle include words that end in an “ING,” such as “Making,” “Going,” and “Preparing.” With the N already there, it is easy to fill in the “I” and the “G” without wasting them as the chosen letters.

This led to a Redditor giving some factual information. Rejectmariosonic wrote that there had been 232 instances of “What Are You Doing,” and in 73 of them, there was no additional “I” or “G,” which is 31%.

Other Pet Peeves From Wheel Of Fortune

This led to many Redditors coming up with their own pet peeves from the popular game show. This includes things that players do and things that happen on the show in general, whether thanks to Ryan Seacrest or just the puzzles themselves.

Here is a sample of some of the better pet peeves fans came up with:

  • “My pet peeve is I feel like the person that wins the big trip is usually the winner. It would be more interesting if the price of the trip was not included and based in money earned guessing the letters.”
  • “The $1000 minimum makes me mad too. If someone knows the puzzle, spins once for $550 and solves, I get mad.”
  • “When it’s CLEAR they know the puzzle and they STILL buy vowels. Why are you throwing away your money??? Irks me to no end!”
