Man gets screwed out of $1mil on Wheel of Fortune

That's just wrong.

That guy got absolutely fucked. He should have went into a rage

That's so wrong! He said cabinet. One shouldn't be denied a win because of an accent.

Yeah, they weren't giving up a million dollars that easy.

Sounded like he said corno curio cabinet. But corner was there, I'm sure he just flubbed speaking. Mush mouthed it.

That was so fail.

I would've destroyed absolutely everything and everyone in sight if I were that guy.

Unbelievable, he was told he'd be treated fairly backstage.

Probably thrown 10k and asked to sign something.

He said:
Corner
Curro
Cabinet

He obviously didn't know the word "Curio" so he tried to lip sync it.

I hope he got 2 million in the lawsuit settlement

I would of punched Pat Sajak with my foot.

It's a shame, because he could have used that money to buy speech lessons.

I know.

I hope lawyers are contacting him. This is what they call in the law "acting in bad faith." I would sue for 100 million because it was both discriminatory (because he has an accent) and intentional (they do not want to pay the money). All of these shows are a scam.

I still think about my mom almost every day.

How'd he "get screwed out of a million dollars"?

For one, all that piece provided was the CHANCE to play for a million dollars in the bonus round, IF he won the game and made it to the bonus round and IF he then happened to pick the million dollar envelope from the bonus wheel and then IF he solved and won the bonus round.

Sounds like a looooooooong way from being screwed out of a million dollars like he was owed it for just landing on that puzzle piece.

Also, the game has ALWAYS required that the puzzle be stated exactly as written. No adding an extra letter, no adjectives nor adverbs, no pluralizing, no anything other than reading it exactly as it is. Even when it's spelled completely out.

The guy wasn't screwed out of anything by anyone. He messed up. His fault. Sucked for him, but it was strictly on his own shoulders for being too nervous or whatever else and FAILING at that moment. It's called a consequence of your own actions. No one screwed him out of anything, he just messed up and cost himself.

Sheesh...


Besides... the guy with the real accent... pronounced it.

You work for the government?

Plus restitution for embarrassment.

More like he was screwed out of an education.

poor guy!

totally unfair.

Who are you people?
Did the shill meeting at Acorn just get out?
The guy fucked up the words, he doesn't get the money.

Really? It sound MUCH more like the government line to be saying: "Aw, he got screwed over because he messed up and didn't win. That's not fair. It's not your fault. It's the evil system of competition. Everyone should win. You got screwed over, so you should get something because of it. We'll take care of it for you, poor thing. That's what we're here for after all."

Wheel of Fortune is racist?

So is that tramp Vanna.

Is Vanna still on the show?

^ THIS

But the word "curio" was already solved.

Seems that the only word he would be obligated to articulate clearly would be the unsolved word "cabinet".

She undoubtedly has THE easiest, high-paying job in America.

Wheel of Fortune was better when you could buy a ceramic Dalmatian with your winnings. The game seems more stressful since they added all these enhancements.
