Wheel Of Fortune 'Error' Appears To Gift Contestant £15,000 In Prizes

Wheel Of Fortune 'Error' Appears To Gift Contestant £15,000 In Prizes

B, or D? You decide.

Viewers of Wheel of Fortune have been left angered after a mistake from the host seemed to accidentally gift a contestant around £15,400 worth of prizes. Watch this video, then ask yourself, does she say B or D?

So, if you're not familiar with the way in which the popular game show works, the contestants basically have to solve a load of word puzzles before they spin a gigantic colourful wheel in order to determine the value of the prizes that they'll end up taking home.

It's pretty fun.

Anyway, thanks to the host Pat Sajak mishearing the different between a B and a D, offered by contestant Angela Evans as an answer, they were able to solve a puzzle which eventually led to prizes of more than £15,000.

This is all on the US version - the UK version hasn't been on the telly since 2001. However, Sajak's mistake last week has been shown around the globe since.

To make matters worse, after the extra D helped Evans to the answer 'drinking from a coconut', the exact same cock-up nearly happened in the next round.

Asked to qualify which letters she'd chosen, former US Marine Evans again gave Sajak a hard time deciphering whether it was a B or a D she'd said.

While she didn't win the show in the end - in fact, she went out that same round - she eventually pocketed a load of prizes with a high value.

Because people can't simply be happy that a relatively small error allowed an armed forces veteran to get a load of stuff during Veteran's Week in the USA, they've been turning out on social media to express their fury.

Some have even suggested that Sajak - who is now in his fourth decade at the helm of the show - should hand in his notice over the incident.

One person wrote: ""SHE SAID B!!!!! NOT D!!! She shouldn't have won this round Pat!!! Wow."

Another added: "I'm sorry does this guy does not understand his letters. This is the second time! Come on!!!"

A third said: "He's been hosting the show for 36 years and can't distinguish a clear B from a D? Maybe time to retire."

However, Evans has piled into the debate herself, suggesting that the letters chosen were right all along.

When one Twitter user wrote: "Definitely said B, as in bulls***," she responded: "Nope. D as in Definitely said D."

It's only a telly show, guys. Calm down.
