“Wheel of Fortune” viewers criticized contestants for their answers on Monday’s episode of the show, hosted by Vanna White and Ryan Seacrest.
Viewers are relentlessly making fun of contestant Gaelynn Nice for what some are calling the “worst ever” answer in the game show’s food and drink category. On the board was written “NE_ _OR_ _HEES_ _A_E”. After the contestant chose to solve the puzzle, it seemed like she knew the answer, but she didn’t. Instead of guessing the correct answer, “New York Cheesecake,” Nice guessed “New York Cheesesteak” and lost the game. Apparently the contestant won’t forget her clumsy blunder as viewers troll her online.
The meme quickly went viral as fans of the game show took aim at Nice who couldn’t solve what appeared to be a very simple word puzzle.
“I was watching it. It was the worst thing I’ve ever seen ‘live’ on TV. What a nerd,” one user said. I wrote.
“New Fork Gheeselake”, another user added With equally ridiculous speculation.
If it were me, I would dump her ass right then and there. 😂
