One Wheel of Fortune contestant got a little ahead of himself on Monday’s (May 27) Memorial Day episode as he prematurely celebrated an incorrect answer. The contestant in question was Rufus Cumberlander from Ewa Beach, Hawaii, who first appeared on the show back on February 17, 2015. This week is Fan Favorites Week, which sees former contestants returning for a second shot at spinning the wheel. Cumberlander faced off against Cynthia King from Warren, Michigan, who first appeared on the show on February 28, 2024, and Luidgi Altidor from Brooklyn, New York, who appeared on the show back on January 8, 2020. While King and Altidor dominated most of the episode, Cumberlander had a chance at a comeback late in the game during the Triple Tossup. Cumberlander was faced with the “Phrase” category and puzzle board that read, “_ _ N ’ _ / L _ O K / A W _ _.” He confidently answered, “Don’t Look Away,” and began celebrating. Not only did Cumberlander celebrate,...

A trio of Wheel of Fortune contestants embarrassed themselves on live television when they celebrated prematurely.

Following a recent episode of Wheel of Fortune in which a contestant gave host Pat Sajak a tasteless Nsfw answer on live TV, viewers were treated to another controversial moment.

Pat Sajak had to intervene during a recent episode of Wheel of Fortune when a contestant began celebrating what they believed to be a correct puzzle solution.

During Monday night’s show, three contestants Rufus Cumberlander, Luidgi Altidor, and Cynthia King kicked off their game with a toss-up puzzle.

The category was “Phrase,” and as more and more letters began to appear on the board, Rufus was confident that he had the correct answer to the puzzle, which read, “_ _ N ‘_ / L _ O K / A W _ _ .”

Rufus rang his buzzer, and when Pat called on him to give his answer, Rufus exclaimed, “Don’t Look Away!

Recently, Wheel Of Fortune fans were bashing the show for giving contestants undeserving second chances. While Pat Sajak is heading toward retirement rapidly, fans are certainly noticing some “unfair” aspects of the show. Admittedly, now that the retirement is imminent, fans are wishing for more time with the beloved host.

Wheel Of Fortune Prepares For Pat Sajak’s Departure

Both Vanna White and Pat Sajak have been partners in crime for more than four decades. Sadly, Wheel Of Fortune‘s long-time legend will be leaving the show in less than two weeks. Undoubtedly, as his exit nears, Vanna is getting reminiscent of memories from over the years. Although the time is ticking away with Pat in the driver’s seat, Ryan Seacrest is primed and ready to take over. Together the duo has been on 8,000 shows through the years.

Wheel of Fortune is taking a page from its quiz show cousin Jeopardy! in inviting back former players for another chance to spin the wheel, but not everybody is happy about it. Many fans think it’s unfair that the show is allowing people to compete twice when hopeful viewers often take many years to appear on ‘Wheel’ and a large number never achieve their dream. On Monday, May 27, the long-running game show kicked off its Fan Favorite week, which sees past contestants return for a shot at redemption or, in some cases, for repeated glory. The latter was certainly the case for Cynthia King from Warren, Michigan, who won more than $83,000 during her first appearance back in February when she nailed the Bonus Round puzzle. As she explained to host Pat Sajak at the start of Monday’s episode, she hosted 75 friends and family for a watch party of...
