Some devotedWheel of Fortunefansare shouting ‘_NF_IR!’
after a contestant lost out on serious bucks because of a rule that many are calling too picky.
As seen in a clip onYouTube, hostPat Sajakcautioned him, “Say everything, don’t add anything.
This isn’t the first time that little word has been costly for a player.
The buzzer sounded, the turn went to the next player, and Shaw became a viral news story.
(Happily, a Nashville tourism company treated Shaw to a trip on their dime, perThe Tennesseean.)
Viewers are divided over the controversy.
Some believe rules are rules, noting that Sajak did give Pedersen a warning.
Others want the rule eliminated altogether.
“They need to fix that freakin' ‘and’ rule for [Wheel Of Fortune] crossword puzzles.
Come on,” one fantweeted.
Back in February,Wheel of Fortunefeatured contestant Chris Trimble, a tech salesman from West Hollywood.
However,Gossip Cophas since reported that the rumors about terminating Sajak appear to be just that: rumors.
Sajak will likely stay put at least through his current contract, which runs until 2022.
TheWheel of Fortuneproducers have shown no indication of ditching the crossword puzzle rule, either.
