via Jimmy Kimmel Live! Wheel of Fortunes has been on for over 30 years and it looks like they have run out of puzzles for their contestants to solve. For example, this week they asked the contestants to solve this “Common Phrase”, “OMG, My Bro-crush eats Fro-yo.” Now, I admit I am not the hippest person in the world, but I’ve never heard anyone say that. Have you? Not only have I not heard that sentence before, but what is a bro-crush? I know, Man Crush but I’ve never heard of the other one.
So without knowing that word, let alone all the other ones; how the heck did he solve that “Common Phrase”? Could you have done it?
It was College Week on Wheel of Fortune and it was not a good one for Julian from Indiana University. Even though the wheel was his friend, the board was anything but. First he failed to solve Mythological Hero Achilles, even though all the letters were on the board. How you ask? Because he mispronounced Achilles as Aa-chill-es.
It didn’t get any better for him because he continued to miss solving the puzzles; which was a good thing for Shelby, the contestant on his left, who was able to finish what he couldn’t.
Poor Julian, some are saying he was the worst player in the game show’s run, but I don’t think he was. If he kept spinning on to Bankrupt or Lose a Turn every round or guess J, X, Y or Z every time, then I would agree. Do you think he is the worst player ever on Wheel of Fortune?
On Wednesday night the world was amazed how Emil de Leon solved the Bonus Round Puzzle on Wheel of Fortune with only the first two letters having been revealed. Well, Ellen DeGeneres was so amazed that she will have him on her show this Monday. The best WOF contestant ever explained how he came up with the answer on his first try and it makes sense. Does it mean you or I could do the same thing? Hell-to-the-no!
Then Ellen wanted to see if he could do it again by coming up with her own puzzles for him to solve and of course he did. Proving he really is the best WOF player ever.
Finally, when his segment was over, Ellen had a present for him. It was a New Baby Buggy! A phrase that will probably be on his tombstone in the far far future.
Emilbert deLeon was playing the Bonus Round on Wheel of Fortune yesterday and he only got the first two letters from the phrase to help him solve the puzzle. Believe it or not, he was able to do it, just from NE_ ____ _____ on his very first try. Pat Sajak told him to guess, and the first thing that came to his mind was NEW BABY BUGGY and that was the Thing that was up there. How he got it, no one knows. But what we do know is that his expression is absolutely priceless.
Not only did he get $45,000 for solving it, but he also got frisked from Sajak. What a really lucky guy!
BTW I wonder if used his earnings to buy a new baby buggy. At least he should purchase one as a constant reminder of his awesome feat!
So a woman was on Wheel of Fortune and she solved the 27 letter puzzle with just a one letter clue. Now as amazing as that is, it is not as good as the three military men who have no idea who Regis Philbin and Kelly Ripa are. That had to feel like landing on bankrupt to the two hosts.
