It really is a shame that I don’t watch Wheel of Fortune, but I look forward to watching it when I’m in my 60s. But thanks to the internet, I can now catch up on all the hilarious fails on that simple, yet glorious game show. That’s how I found out all about the ‘popsicle bike’ fail. But this time around it’s all about a poor contestant named “Jonny” who I’m pretty sure had his whole world fall down on him.
On Monday, Jonny found himself about to get $7,100. All he had to do was pronounce the following phrase: “Flamenco Dance Lessons.” The bad news? He couldn’t even do that properly. Take a look at the video below:

Man. Even I feel his pain. Jonny somehow said “flamingo” instead of “flamenco” and like that he missed out on a lot of cash. Just look at Jonny’s face when he realized his big fail:
Twitter was all about it, too:
I’m crazy into Wheel of Fortune right now. The guy just had the entire puzzle on the screen but pronounced “Flamenco” as “Flamingo” & Pat said he didn’t win. He’s mad & I’ve never felt more like an old lady for being so into this debacle. pic.twitter.com/93tF0RstpF

THIS MAN ON WHEEL OF FORTUNE SOLVED THE PUZZLE BUT SAID FLAMINGO INSTEAD OF FLAMENCO AND THE WOMAN NEXT TO HIM WON THE TRIP AND HE’S HELLA PISSED. THIS IS THE DRAMA I LIVE FOR pic.twitter.com/iZO2BmV8fO

OMG, he spent 20 seconds mumbling “Flamingo” and “Flamenco” to himself.
You just don’t recover from this. It’s over. R.I.P. in peace Jonny pic.twitter.com/xsrJOFswnj

Something tells me that Pat Sajak loves to see people fail. He probably uses his contestants failures to keep himself young like a vampire uses the blood of younger people. That’s the way it works, right?
Well, Jonny will be tossing and turning for the rest of his life in bed, uttering, “flamingo…flamenco…” in his sleep.
