Viewers left stunned as WheelOfFortune contestants stumped by common phrase missing only a few letters
Host Pat Sajak, however, urged sympathy for the contestants, noting that being on television with the chance to win money is a stressful situation.
"It always pains me when nice people come on our show to play a game and win some money and maybe fulfill a lifelong dream, and are then subject to online ridicule when they make a mistake or something goes awry." He added,"Mocking them online and calling them names? These are good people in a bad situation under a kind of stress that you can't begin to appreciate from the comfort of your couch."
