| Moloch1514 User ID: 1472857 United States09/19/2013 06:30 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | How'd he "get screwed out of a million dollars"? Quoting: Okie 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.  ^This. The guy still would've had to win the game, spin the final wheel and hit the 1 million card, and win the Final puzzle. I've seen lots of people get the one million in the regular game and not win the chance to play for that million. If this 'controversy' was on the Final puzzle at the end, then this would have some legs. Anyone suggesting he can fight this with lawyers has not watched the game in a while. |

I bet his wife made him sleep on the couch. ..."The soul is dyed the color of its thoughts. Think only on those things that are in line with your principles and can bear the light of day.

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 815535 United States09/19/2013 06:43 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Just because you land on the million dollar wedge doesn't mean you get a million dollars. You have to pick the right letter where the envelope is AND guess the puzzle correctly. So far only one person has one the million. Plus this new Wheel of Fortune Express thing is just disastrous for other players if the player like Louis answers correctly. He had a unfair advantage. |

This is a game concerning words. He should have pronounced it correctly. Quoting: TheEndIsNigh2013 It's always been that way on Wheel of Fortune. You have to pronounce the words exactly! That's why you'll see people speaking slowly and taking their time to enunciate properly. ..."The soul is dyed the color of its thoughts.

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 23431537 United States09/19/2013 07:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Well, I rarely watch the show but I do know you don't GET the million right then and there. It's a SUPER low probability to win that. You have to go to the final round and actually pick the million prize out of like 20 different prizes and then solve the final puzzle. If he made it to the final round and solved the puzzle, then I would be more up in arms. |
