It has given us some awesome scenes with contestants going from last place to winning it all in just one round. However, with the glorious victories, there are also embarrassing defeats. If you won the contest or even did decently at it, you would love for everyone to watch the episode. For a contestant who experienced the latter incident happen to them, they would rather not see the episode air again. So, what do you even do in such cases? Hide your face in shame or laugh along?<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-the-worst-wheel-of-fortune-mistake\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Worst Wheel Of Fortune Mistake<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Regardless of how a contestant might cope with it, it does provide quite a bit of entertainment for the audience. Recently, Matt, a contestant on\u00a0<em>Wheel of Fortune<\/em>\u00a0probably made the worst mistake in the show\u2019s history. The overall performance of Matt, in this particular episode, was actually quite complicated. Just to let you know, he was the final winner and went home with $23,350, so he probably does not feel too bad about the horrible blunder in this episode.<\/p>\n<p>However, a blunder as embarrassing as that usually overshadows anything else that happens in an episode. In the round in question, the three contestants were going head-to-head to figure out a word puzzle as soon as possible. The puzzle had three words, and \u201cpeople\u201d was the category. Contestants can either check for one letter or try to guess the whole phrase. When it came to Matt, he asked to check if \u201cN\u201d was present in the phrase. It was, and the puzzle looked like this: TH_ \u2013 N_\u00a0<em>T \u2013<\/em>\u00a0_ N _ R _ T _ _ N<\/p>\n<p>He then took a second to guess what the phrase could be. His answer, to everyone\u2019s surprise, was something that did not have a single \u201cN\u201d in it. He said: \u201cThe Best Buttercut\u201d. We don\u2019t exactly know what Buttercut means, but it definitely did not fit the puzzle! The final answer was THE NEXT GENERATION. You can have a look at the hilarious blunder here:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Wheel of Fortune: The Best Buttercut\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ryHhXGq_C78?feature=oembed\" width=\"790\" height=\"444\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-origwidth=\"790\" data-origheight=\"444\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n<p>Other Mistakes That Are Right Up There<br \/>\nHowever, Matt is not the only one to have made an embarrassing blunder in Wheel of Fortune. There have been quite a few memorable fails in the show\u2019s history since it was first aired in 1975. In 2017, contestant Kevin while facing the word puzzle. He had to fill in the blank for just one letter in the name of this play: \u201cA STREETCAR NA_ED DESIRE\u201d. He spun and was gifted the choice to select a consonant. To everyone\u2019s amusement and dismay, Kevin chose K to make the word: Naked. Of course, the answer was A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE.<\/p>\n<p>In 2009, Sacramento, California resident Lolita McAuley was participating in a speed round. This means that the letters would appear randomly on the board after every period of time. The first one to buzz and guess the complete answer will win. \u201cThing\u201d was the category, and Lolita was facing this: S_LF-PO_T_ _ _T. McAuley buzzed at this point and answered: \u201cSELF-POTATO\u201d. Again, a confusing but very amusing answer. The correct answer was SELF-POTRAIT.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Top 10 Cringiest Wheel of Fortune Fails\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RqRhdwbK_UA?feature=oembed\" width=\"790\" height=\"444\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-origwidth=\"790\" data-origheight=\"444\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n<p>More recently in 2014, Julian, a student from the University of Indiana, was on track to win $1 million after quite a few lucky spins. On a special edition for collegegoers, he only had to pronounce the phrase: \u201cmythological hero Achilles\u201d. Unfortunately, he pronounced it as \u201cAY-chill-es\u201d when it should have been \u201cAH-kil-ies\u201d. Then, he had to fill in the blank in: \u201cWORLD\u2019S FASTEST\u00a0<em>A<\/em>\u201d Here, he chose \u201cc\u201d, when the final word was MAN. Lastly, when he arrived at the section for \u201cthings\u201d, he had to guess \u201cOn-the-spot decision\u201d. He did his biggest fumble and guessed \u201cOn-the-spot dicespin\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>So, do you think Matt\u2019s mistake was as bad as these ones?
