Not everyone is a winner Wheel of Fortune. Recently, a contestant made a hilarious mistake. Social media couldn’t help but mock the mistake.
Contestant Gishma Tabari ended up missing an easy puzzle. The contestant had to solve a triple draw with five empty spaces. The puzzle embodied the category of “Show Biz” and had the following letters: “TH_ _RITI_S _GR_E”.
Without missing a beat, Tabari responded: “The British ogre.” No one knows exactly what Tabari had in mind with the answer. Simon Cowell? Piers Morgan? James Bond? Even host Pat Sajak was a little perplexed.
He asked Tabari: “Say it again.” Even the Wheel of Fortune host found the contestant’s response amusing before responding, “Uh, no.” Sajak announced the correct answer they were looking for: “Critics agree.”
A swing and a miss, but social media refused to give Tabari a proper roast. On X (formerly Twitter), several users mocked the Wheel of Fortune contestant. “What? You’ve never heard of the British ogre,” one user tweeted.
Meanwhile, another person wrote: “This woman just guessed this riddle like The British Ogre. “There are so many British ogres in showbiz.”
Yet another person reflected on the shame Tabari must have felt at that moment. It was enough for them to feel embarrassed by the Wheel of Fortune contestant. They commented: “This girl guessed ‘The British Ogre’ on Wheel of Fortune and the second-hand embarrassment was overwhelming. She didn’t even look at the camera for a second. I feel bad, but man, that s**t was fun.”
The ‘Wheel of Fortune’ known for its errors
While Tabari’s mistake was worthy of roasting, it’s not all bad news for the contestant. Tabari ended up with a cruise plus $15,853, not bad for a moment of Internet notoriety. It’s not even the worst Wheel of Fortune Neither is a blunder.
There have been many mistakes over the years that are worthy of complaint. Take for example a contestant from 2017 who was one letter away from winning the puzzle. The riddle had been “A NA-ED TRAMWAY WISH.” Instead of guessing an M, the contestant chose a K, which most realized she was wrong at a glance. The correct answer had been A Streetcar Named Desire.
Compared to these one-letter errors, Tabari’s error seems slight. However, it may be a long time before Tabari defeats the British Ogre.
