Wheel of Fortune is all about solving puzzles, and yesterday Pat Sajak decided to test the contestants knowledge about Geography.
David and Keri solved the Prize Puzzle Round’s puzzle that reads “Gondola Ride Through Venice,” and that meant that their prize is to go here. The host wanted to see if they knew what country they were going to and David said, “Paris.” Then he thought about that and realized Paris is a city and not a country, so he guessed again. This time he said, “France.” Which is a country, but not the one that Venice is in. Keri then asked the Sajak, “Do we still get it?” Thankfully, they do and off to Italy they will be going. And I am sure that David will never ever forget that Venice is Italy.
If this was Jeopardy, David would have to take his wife out for a very expensive Italian dinner in their hometown to make up for his error. But since it isn’t, they will just have to eat Italian food in Italy instead. Good thing the couple went on the right game show for him.
This week, not one but two contestants on Wheel of Fortune made some incredible correct guesses. Both of them were able to do it with just the letter T on the board. Shawn figured out “Training for a Triathlon” with 3 just three Ts up there and Rufus got “Championship Match” with just one.
I am not sure whose guess was more impressive, so I will say it is a tie or toss-up. Two puzzles, I am sure they would be able to solve because both words have a T in them.

On Friday’s episode of Wheel of Fortune, not only did Matt DeSanto solve a puzzle with just one letter, he also went on to be the largest main-game winner. First, he wowed everyone when he was able to solve the puzzle with just the second “E” of The Lone Ranger revealed. Then he kept on winning, so much so he ended the day with $91,892 in winnings. That is the largest amount won by a player in a single episode during the show’s run. Not a bad way to start off 2015!

On Wednesday’s Wheel of Fortune a contestant made a guess that was so far off from the answer that some are dubbing the worst guess in the show’s history. Stephen Dryer was trying to guess the lyrics that go with with S-RF C–Y -ERE -W COME, and he guessed it was “surf clay here we go”. Um, it says “come”, so why did he say go? And what is surf clay? I guess the pressure of it got to him.
So do you think this is the worst guess in the show’s run? I don’t.
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?
