The Worst Mistake on the Fortune Wheel<\/p>\n
Regardless of how a competitor handles it, it does provide the audience with a good amount of entertainment. Matt, a Wheel of Fortune contestant, just made what was probably the worst mistake in the history of the show. Matt gave a really elaborate performance on this particular episode. He won in the end and received $23,350, in case you missed it, so he probably doesn\u2019t feel too horrible about his horrible error in this episode.<\/p>\n
However, that kind of horrible error often overshadows the entire episode. The three participants\u2019 goal in this particular round was to complete a word problem as fast as they could. The puzzle consisted of three words in the category \u201cpeople.\u201d There are two alternatives available to participants: they can try to guess a single letter or the complete sentence. In reference to Matt, he asked if the sentence contained the letter \u201cN.\u201d It was, and here is how the issue manifested itself: N_ T \u2013 _ N _ R _ T _ _ N TH_<\/p>\n
It required a moment for him to deduce what the term might be. To everyone\u2019s surprise, he answered with a term that didn\u2019t contain a \u201cN.\u201d \u201cThe Greatest Buttercut,\u201d he pronounced. It\u2019s unclear exactly what Buttercut meant to say, but it was obvious that his statement didn\u2019t fit the puzzle! The selected answer was THE NEXT GENERATION. You can see the amusing error here:<\/p>\n
