‘Wheel of Fortune’ player makes hilarious gaffe on ‘Nudist Colony’ puzzle

A Wheel of Fortune puzzle caused quite a reaction on Wednesday’s (Jan. 15) episode — even Vanna White was shocked! The hilarity occurred during the Triple Toss Up round, where contestants Ricky Brown of Easton, Pennsylvania, Karen Morgan of Clinton, Maryland, and Lisa McDaniel of Norman, Oklahoma, had to solve three puzzles ending in the word “Colony.” Things started normally, with Brown buzzing in to guess “Ant Colony” correctly and bagging himself $2,000. Morgan then cracked the second puzzle and correctly answered “Artist Colony” for $2,000 of her own. It was the final puzzle that threw the game into chaos. White revealed the letters one by one, landing on “_ UDIST / COLO _ Y” before Morgan buzzed in to answer. Unfortunately, Morgan’s guess about “Buddhist (sic) Colony” was wrong. Brown then came in with the correct answer, “Nudist Colony,” which was correct. White looked shocked and threw her hands over her mouth.
