Die-hard Wheel of Fortune fans have been watching the game show for decades and they know the score. Rule number one: you don’t waste your money on vowels!
Last night’s Wheel winner Lisa either wasn’t aware of that bit of etiquette or she was so swept up in potential Mini Cooper mania that she forgot, but she did exactly what pretty much every viewer did not want her to do: she bought a vowel! Worse, she bought a vowel that she did not need to buy! Oh, the nerve!
The final puzzle was all the way down to “PEPPE_ _NI PINEAPPLE PI_ _A”–I mean, the answer at that point was already so painfully obvious, right? She bought an “R,” further confirming that the first word was “pepperoni.” And then, instead of just solving the puzzle, she dropped $250 bucks to buy an “O” and then solved the puzzle. This doubly irked fans since she only had two vowels left (“O” and “U”) and “pepperuni” is not yet a thing (there’s some food marketing whiz out there dreaming it up now, I’m sure). She then solved the puzzle, winning a car but down $250. Think of all the Mini Cooper accessories that vowel money could have bought!
WoF Twitter went off on Lisa, who still won a dope car by the way. Their sole complaint was all vowel related.
Let this be a lesson to everyone with hopes and dreams of being on Wheel of Fortune: if you buy a vowel when you don’t need to, even if you end up winning, just don’t check the #WheelOfFortune hashtag for a few days.
