Wheel of Fortune fans think a contestant got robbed after seemingly saying the right final answer
This is one of those things like Laurel and Yanny that people might hear differently.
Contestant Megan was in the final round of a Wheel of Fortune game when she saw P_N_ _RC__D on the board. As you’ll see in the video below, she doesn’t appear to know it, but then she says … something. It sure sounds like “PINK ORCHID” to me, but maybe she swallows that first word.
It turns out the answer was … pink orchid! But apparently the judges didn’t hear what she said as the answer, so she didn’t win $40,000.
But there are lots of fans of the show who think she deserves that $40K. You be the judge here:
There is no question, she absolutely said "pink orchid". Please give this girl her winnings! @WheelofFortune @PatOnWheel @TheVannaWhite @MaggieSajak #wheel #wheeloffortune #justiceforpinkorchid Rooting for you, Megan! pic.twitter.com/muiRlMCMLy

I’m sorry, did she NOT say Pink Orchid the first time? Or am I tripping #wheeloffortune pic.twitter.com/b30E4l0MqE
