And just to make it even more dumbfounding, it came courtesy of the winner.
Being a contestant on “Wheel of Fortune” is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and you have to think that one of the many things rolling through the domes of players just before they hit the stage is, “Don’t do anything stupid.” Like changing the word “night” to “right” even though every letter has been revealed, for example.
Well, a contestant named Nura found a way to sink to an even lower level of stupid during the final puzzle on a recent episode of the hit game show when she first guessed a “v” but quickly changed it to a “z” despite the fact that only two “t’s” had been revealed. And her guess the next time around? You guessed it: none.
Nura’s shitshow continued on her third and fourth tries, where she guessed both “x” and once again nothing, leaving many to wonder if the poor woman was suffering some kind of stroke.
Some in the online community were actually defending her ignorance, suggesting that she was playing some form of a prevent defense to protect her sizable lead. But we find that hard to believe considering the fact that if Troy would have gotten another chance, he could have won the game by guessing one correct letter and then correctly solving the puzzle.
But hey, you be the judge:
