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.
