‘Wheel of Fortune’ host Ryan Seacrest accused of having accepted the player’s bisar way of saying a Texas City

There have been cases of “Wheel of Fortune” where participants have lost prizes after not saying a word correctly, and hosts have also been exposed to flaquer to judge them too hard. But now fans are dissatisfied with the new host Ryan Seacrest, who lets a participant get rid of the wrong pronunciation of a city in Texas that appeared as part of a puzzle. In a previous episode of the show, a participant named Alicia Sagle faced the puzzle in the first round ‘On the map’. The answer to it was, “Dallas, Houston and Lubbock, Texas,” but she pronounced Lubbock as ‘loo-bach,’ Per. TV insider. Despite this, Seacrest assigned her the victory and $ 1,900.

This did not go down well with some of the fans on social media and led to a heated debate online. “I wouldn’t have accepted that missing of Lubbock, Wheel of Fortune,” a user Rocco C. wrote on x. “Lady stated Lubbock as” LOO-BACH “on the Wheel of Fortune, and if I didn’t have a sleeping baby in my arms I would cackkkkkkle,” User Ellie Banks asked.

Whether she deserved to be awarded prize money for this answer is up to debate, but one cannot deny that the rest of Alicia’s performance on the show was impressive. When she got to the bonus round, she had earned $ 22,020 cash and a trip to New York City. She had the chance to triple her cash winnings in the bonus round. She had chosen the category ‘What are you doing’ and got the letters R, S, T, L, N and E in the puzzle.

Alicia then chose D, C, G and O as her three consonants and a vocals. The puzzle now read, “____ng t_e ro_nds.” With 10 seconds on the board she guessed several answers, but none of them were correct. As the answer “did the rounds”, she kept her head in disappointment after missing out on $ 40,000. But she was still happy when she went away with a good amount of money.

The question of pronunciation also came up with the “Wheel of Fortune”. Only then were the tables turned. Pat Sajak hosted the popular game show at the time, and a participant named Renne was facing a puzzle that read “Se_en S__NS _-s__MM_NG.” The right answer was “Seven Swans A-Swimming” and that’s exactly what Renne said. However, she was not awarded the victory. It was because she stated the word ‘swimming’ as ‘swimming’ that caused widespread dissatisfaction among users on social media. An X user thought the show was partial to south lenders since Renee had a southern accent as per. ABC News. Others thought she was simply cheated by winning for something so trivial that it couldn’t even be considered a mistake.

Back then, fans called for such opinion errors to be ignored if the answer was correct. Now, the opposite has become a reason behind an indignation, as fans have offended the name of a city that is not pronounced correctly, even if that is the correct answer.
