Charlene made it to the final round of Wheel of Fortune the other night. All she had to do was guess the correct phrase on the board. And she did. But she took too long of a pause between Choosing The Right and Word, so Pat Sajak told her that she didn’t win the prize, which was an Audi Q3.
Well, needless to say, fans were royally upset over it. No one more than Audi themselves. Therefore, they wrote on Twitter, “You’re a winner in our eyes, Charlene. Now, let’s get you a prize. Time to #GiveHerTheQ3.”
Twitter did their magic, and Charlene was put in touch with the car company. Now, we just have to wait for her to claim her prize. Good thing she also won $16,500 on the game show because she can use that to pay for the taxes on the car that she was given as a present. Nothing is ever for free.
I respect Audi for standing up and doing the right thing. Even if Wheel of Fortune’s rules forbade them from doing the right thing in the first place. Bah humbug to the rules.

Let’s hope Charlene still has some money left over from paying taxes on the car to pay for service on the car. According to many unhappy owners, Audi’s are notorious money pits.
