Wheel of Fortune has entertained audiences for decades with its challenging puzzles and enthusiastic contestants. However, a recent episode of the show featured a contestant whose guess may be remembered as one of the worst in history. Meet Matt, the contestant who, despite a lucky letter guess, provided an answer that left everyone astounded and amused.
Picture this: the puzzle had the second word starting with the letter N. Matt’s brain, however, had something else in mind. With great confidence, he announced his solution to the puzzle: “The Best Buttercup”! As you can imagine, this answer had no resemblance to the actual solution on the board. Whether Matt said “Buttercup” or “Buttercut,” it doesn’t really matter. The sheer absurdity of his guess will certainly go down in Wheel of Fortune history.
Pat Sajak, the host of the show, couldn’t hide his disbelief off-camera. He sarcastically responded with, “Uh, no. Oddly enough, no.” It was clear that Matt’s guess didn’t impress anyone with its accuracy.
To give credit where it’s due, Matt did manage to guess the first word of the puzzle correctly: “The.” However, the rest of his answer was way off track. The correct solution turned out to be “The Next Generation,” which has nothing in common with Matt’s imaginative “The Best Buttercup.”
Despite this outrageous guess, Matt proved to be a skilled player throughout the game. In fact, he emerged as the winner, taking home a substantial prize. Clearly, this particular guess was just a blip in his overall performance. Perhaps his ability to take risks and speak his mind, even if the answer is incorrect, played a role in his victory.
Viewers watching the episode couldn’t help but share their reactions on Twitter. People expressed their amusement and disbelief at Matt’s mind-boggling guess. Here are some of their tweets:
- “‘The best buttercup’ sounds like something a person might say when the anesthesia wears off. #WheelOfFortune”
- “Did this dude really say ‘the best buttercup?’”
- “And to top it all off, the poor souls (those contestants) that got beat by this guy, Matt. Well, shoot, he actually won the entire game! Bahahaha!!”
It’s fascinating to see how a simple, yet hilariously erroneous guess can capture the attention and amusement of viewers. This moment will surely become a memorable part of Wheel of Fortune’s history.
So, what do you think about this unforgettable bad guess on Wheel of Fortune?
