Wheel of Fortune host Ryan Seacrest has found himself at opposing ends with fans once again. The latest episode saw a contestant break a rule during a crossword puzzle round, which cost him the round. However, fans are not pointing their fingers at the contestant who made the foul. They are blaming the Wheel of Fortune host instead for not explaining the rules beforehand.
On Monday, March 31, fans saw Todd Meyer from Las Vegas, Nevada, play against Sheree Corder from Tampa, Florida, and Latricia Randolph from Franklin, Tennessee. Corder, the eventual winner, started the game well, as she solved the first tossup, which was “Expect the unexpected” and the second, which was “Model airplane kit.” Because of her early success in the game, she added $3,000 to her bank in the beginning and earned a total of $6,000 after solving another puzzle.
Sadly for Meyer, his blunder cost him the game when he and his competitors faced a rare crossword, a round that Corder won. The category was “Party,” where the contestants had to guess four words in the puzzle. Randolph guessed many letters until “G” was not in the puzzle. Meyer, despite guessing all the letters and even solving the puzzle, was unsuccessful, as Seacrest told him it was incorrect.
The ‘Wheel of Fortune’ Fans Criticize Ryan Seacrest Once Again
Seacrest often faced criticism from fans as they felt like he was not living up to the standards that previous host Pat Sajak, who retired from the show, set. Fans took to Reddit to air their grievances; as one said, “Pat ALWAYS made sure to lis the rules for these more meta puzzles!” Another wrote, “That guy got screwed.”Reddit
“Ryan Not Reminding the Contestants About Crossword Solves,” one wrote. “Makes me mad every time! Sometimes he reminds contestants how to solve these puzzles properly, and sometimes he doesn’t. Doesn’t seem fair. Oh, and this contestant today looked PISSED!” Another wrote, “Felt bad for the guy. Like…come on. He knew this. He was filling in the blank.”
Despite his crossword blunder, Meyer redeemed himself as he won $10,000 by solving all three Triple Toss-Ups. However, he did not claim victory at the end of Wheel of Fortune. Corder solved the final puzzle, which earned her a spot in the Bonus Round with a total of $16,6000. Randolph left the game with $12,190. Meyer trailed behind in last place with a total of $10,000. Wheel of Fortune airs weeknights on ABC.
