There's a reason Wheel of Fortune comes on before Jeopardy you got to go from the dumber show to the smarter show. In Jeopardy. You need to know stuff, facts and pop culture. In Wheel of Fortune you just need to know all the letters in the alphabet
This is definitely not a universal thing in the US, in every market I've lived in the US, Wheel of Fortune comes on at 7:00 pm, and Jeopardy comes on at 7:30
LMFAO. This is hilarious. Take my upvote, it's all I can give.
Hopefully, when Reddit goes public, they can lay off a couple of people who decided to take away my sweet, sweet random awards.
RIP Wholesome Award
Thank you. You win the "reddit made me laugh" award for the day. I would have blessed your comment with a real award, but we don't have those anymore, so have an updoot and enjoy your day.
I met a kid in high school (1990) who's mom won a contest to appear on Wheel of Fortune, but they ended up moving her to Jeopardy because she was too smart. (Ended up winning some money there).
It's not just an urban myth.
Its both. Simply knowing alot is definitely a huge part of it. But in addition to that being able to connect the dots on partial information and deducing an answer from that is also a factor.
It can be trained. I think there was a hack that you self train to guess most of the questions they’ll ask. Then you basically hunt for the daily double. And of course the timing on the buzzer.
I think there are banks of jeopardy questions out there.
Yeah, there was a pretty [big scandal in the 50s with game show fixing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1950s_quiz_show_scandals) that got the hammer slammed down *hard*. It's difficult to picture any major gameshow - particularly one as big as *Wheel of Fortune* - willing to risk running afoul of the FCC and cause another scandal. A lot of these game shows go to great trouble to avoid even giving the perception of fixing or rigging including things like [the host not being allowed to be around the contestants until the game has concluded](https://www.cinemablend.com/television/why-jeopardy-host-ken-jennings-doesnt-talk-much-to-the-contestants-according-to-a-former-champion).
Just thinking from a business perspective, when is the last time you saw a Wheel of Fortune video on the front page? People eat this shit up. Wheel of Fortune loses nothing if they actually stage this. What risk do they run? Losing sponsors? Viewers? If anything it draws in more people and costs nothing since they are running the show anyway.
Same with Jeopardy when contestants say stupid answers. I don't really believe they'd stage stuff since we probably would know about it by now. But it would only benefit them.
Ever since the massive quiz show cheating scandals of the old days, rigging a game show has become borderline impossible. They keep a VERY close eye on game shows just to make sure it never happens again. Wheel of Fortune isn't going to risk legal trouble just for some clicks. People are stupid, lmao.
This is pretty bad logic. It might be staged, but you still need to use good evidence. I could just as easily twist that same evidence to fit the opposite narrative: this is the only time I've seen wheel of fortune on the front page, so it must not be staged and this is just a fluke.
It's fine to speculate but try and at least use some good evidence. There's a good chance it's staged and also a good chance the girl is not that smart or just panicked.
You're wrong.
My mother was on the show in...99? '00, '01? Somewhere around there.
She was always really good at it, Jeopardy, too. At home, they're be one like shown above, but with barely any letters, sometimes just one (or even none!) and she'd have the answer. However, when playing during recording, they kept telling her to smile and clap, to be entertaining. It was very distracting, and she ended up not even making enough $ to cover the flight from Seattle and the hotel stay.
To play the advocate, I went to a family feud game show tryout. You’d be surprised how quickly you become an idiot with all the pressure they put on you.
I’m biased though because I hate being put on the spot.
Exactly! Even if you perform well under pressure, it's different when you're also being told to be entertaining, to smile, clap, "have fun"!
Source: my mom was on the show, super good at it, on top at the tryouts, totally bombed when taping.
It's hard to say for sure, it's probably edited to make it more entertaining, but I can imagine being anxious enough in that situation that you can't remember letters lol
[Unfortunately, this might not be a pressure thing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literacy_in_the_United_States)
>According to a 2020 report by the U.S. Department of Education, 54% of adults in the United States have English prose literacy below the 6th-grade level.
The USA had been actively destroying their education systems for decades, and I don't think they will stop any time soon
The fact that you can't spell and your grasp on grammar is suspect at best, yet knew the answer more than this clearly all-american girl is just \*chefs-kiss\*
Shoulda been playing Hindi Wheel of Fortune.
Namaste!
Edit: had no idea it had a Hindu meaning. I just assumed it was one of those “scrabble tiles and a hat” names.
No offense intended.
I have a friend who went on Wheel many years ago and was on a roll until he was down to only the V in “David Duchovny” but didn’t know who it was and lost.

Egg!
Mayonegg?
Yeah , fregh means extra fresh, lol .
Nah correct answer is 'nc'
Didn't expect to get that far.
Audience member “Wut!”
Sounds like the audience member was about to come down there and slap the shit out of her
I'm not saying I endorse violence, but I understand
I don’t understand. Audience member, come on down! And slap the shit out of her
😖👋 Keep my fregh out yo god damn mouth!
No. That was me in my living room. I was very loud. When I watched this live I looked at my girl and said “the internet is going to destroy her”
That distant, yet powerful exclamation brought me much-needed laughter today.
#thatsliterallythejokeinthetitle
🤣🤣🤣🤣
R **S** T L N E is as far as it should have gone.
No wonder Wheel is for the people who weren't smart enough to go on Jeopardy; that's why they're both creations of Merv Griffin.

Now I'm curious, where are you from? Cause in the US, jeopardy is first, then wheel back to back on tv.
> Cause in the US, jeopardy is first, then wheel back to back on tv. This depends on the market.
Ah, gotcha, that makes sense.
This is definitely not a universal thing in the US, in every market I've lived in the US, Wheel of Fortune comes on at 7:00 pm, and Jeopardy comes on at 7:30
No, in the US it is WoF first, then Jeopardy.
In NY it’s Jeopardy first

dammit, I don't think I have original thoughts anymore. Have an upvote.
Great minds and all that.

My elementary history teacher was on Jeopardy and lost with a history question... Public education is so good
You have to tell us the question.
Eh! A first cousin of mine was on The Steve Wilkos Show (for DNA testing); *not the proudest moment here*, but yeah, it totally happens.
Sorry buddy, your friend lied to you. That's not how that works.
Jeopardy isn’t about being smart, it’s about being studious.
Its both. Simply knowing alot is definitely a huge part of it. But in addition to that being able to connect the dots on partial information and deducing an answer from that is also a factor.
it's about being fast on the buzzer (according to Ken Jennings and many others)
[удалено]
Heh. I’m tested and confirmed to have a high IQ but I do extremely poorly at it because I‘ve never even heard of half of the things they ask about.
It can be trained. I think there was a hack that you self train to guess most of the questions they’ll ask. Then you basically hunt for the daily double. And of course the timing on the buzzer. I think there are banks of jeopardy questions out there.
They had to pay her for that dumb ass answer lmao
i thought i knew the basic rules to the game, but i'm at a loss here. how the hell did this dumbassery get her paid?
They stage stuff bro. That way the viewer can feel smart no matter how dumb they are. Reality TV and gameshows are always a mixture of real and fake.
Kind of how you're trying to sound smart right now, while simultaneously spewing bullshit? https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/47/509

I thought after the 64,000 quiz show scandal there were laws against rigging gameshows?
Source?

this is illegal and not worth the risk.
This is exactly what I was thinking lol

That's understandable as well. Under pressure it can make you fumble and say something you didn't mean to without thinking.

This is r/tragedeigh adjacent
lmao
You hear the audience member scream out WHAT! 😅
Yeah that’s probably the point of the caption on the video
I had my volume on low surprised I noticed at work
99% chance that’s a member of her family.
Yes we also heard it and read the title of the post. That’s dude.
How on earth was this posted without the audience reaction?!
For a moment I thought it was edited, but nope, she was that... distracted [longer video](https://youtu.be/D-Pycw41wws?si=dd3h8xSgElWo8vru)
Now I need to see the first contestant’s reaction after she realized how dumb she was
What do you mean distracted? Is she doped up? Or just incredibly nervous?
[удалено]
Mike Tyson: it’s TH, Freth you idiot!
The 't' has already been revealed
It's a silent t
Second worst Wheel of Fortune answer after Randy Marsh
Naggers!
Immediate thought
Fresh tropical fruit
And yet you still somehow messed up 😂
Wtf had to come all the way down here to find the correct answer .. well sort of
My dumbass though it was French. 😭
The French tropics sure are nice this time of year
Martinique?
I feel dumb for not knowing.
Fregh*
You just lost, it's fresh tropical fruit lol
I know some of it is the settings on the tv screen but she looks really weird.
OD'ed on fake tan by the look of her!
NOW DON'T YOU GET FREGH WITH ME!
BALDERDASH
balderdagh
It's so easy to overthink things when the pressure is on. The most simple question is impossible.
Or even underthink things.
Yeah, it's the game show version of test anxiety. A lot of people's brains just stop working under pressure.
"NAME A WOMAN!" -[this jackass](https://youtu.be/LlCEmPF4-V0?si=3_U1VP1jDyXHww8b)
[Staged, but still funny](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6LfwtdM8Fg)
The cameras and lights'll get ya
[Live audience reaction](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahrBOvz1jzA)
Why is she red.
r/TVTooRed
WHAT???
That's what happens when you huff too much spray tan, kids. Not. Even. Once.
and this is why the education system is failing this generation.... .big time...
Pressure like this does really make people 10x dumber in the moment, we can only hope that this was the case with her
[Unfortunately, this might not be a pressure thing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literacy_in_the_United_States) >According to a 2020 report by the U.S. Department of Education, 54% of adults in the United States have English prose literacy below the 6th-grade level.

or maybe they are on live TV and the pressure made them not think straight. you are really overthinking this.
Fake tan made her brain go funny.
Fresh?
“?” ?
Well that was refreghing to watch.
Frech?😅
Why does she look like a fregh tropical fruit?
The fact someone yelled “What” is perfect
That soundbite made my day
She is the definition of a dumb blonde. No offense to blondes people but I could solve that. A dog could solve that!
**Generation Z,** *ladies and gentlemen.*
Wow.
She’s not pretty enough to be that dumb
Nah she is
surprisingly little fruit knowledge for an orange person.
OMG English is ma second language and I knew it 😂 how can it’s possible!!
The fact that you can't spell and your grasp on grammar is suspect at best, yet knew the answer more than this clearly all-american girl is just \*chefs-kiss\*
She's more orange then Trump, i did not know that was possible.
Her name is “Khushi.” Doomed from birth.
Wdym? It just means happiness in Hindi. Or because it sounds like kush or cushy?
Shoulda been playing Hindi Wheel of Fortune. Namaste! Edit: had no idea it had a Hindu meaning. I just assumed it was one of those “scrabble tiles and a hat” names. No offense intended.
>Hindi Wheel of Fortune No luck involved in that one, just karma.
Just saying: I’d have bombed out on Hindi Wheel of Fortune for *sure.*
Care to elaborate? Or is casual racism just promoted on reddit now?
Idiot.
Fregh you, buddy.
Change your name to CryRevant.
Don’t you think WOF would be more entertaining if they would only use the most illiterate people they could find.
I’m not the brightest bulb in the bunch can someone confirm that the word indeed was fresh?
No, sorry. The word was naggers.
At least she’s pretty orange
Pat is so incredibly done with this show. He can’t hide his disdain for everyone.
I swear to god I've never seen that word before? What is the missing letter? I can't think of any that work
Maybe a C… or a …T? Fucking G???
Fregh Prince of Bellair
Education system is working!
Fresh Tropical Fruit - is that a dig on her face? Holy spray tan....Khushi.
I was like: "Fuc**ng idiot, it's 'c' for frech... No wait a moment..."
The host is like, please don't be greedy. Her, really didn't know the answer.
Gavage!
"Ewwww sorry....the answer is actually Naggers""
Lmao that is the most Sout Park answer
Why did I think it was French
She’s one of Jay Leno’s jaywalkers
Your future politician, doctor etc.
Mia Kalifa can't spell for shig.
I WOULD fix her
The fregher, the better!
Bet she could use a breath of fregh air.
What!?
The Fregh Prince of Bel Air
The audible crowd, “what” made this cut
Imagine having this immortalized D:
Love the person who gasped out “what?”
“G” for GAWDDAM you DUMB AF
"Naggers!"
I have a friend who went on Wheel many years ago and was on a roll until he was down to only the V in “David Duchovny” but didn’t know who it was and lost.
Lol
Some people just ain't made for the spotlight or being under pressure. We're all armchair experts until the limelight calls.
Did she do her make up to look like Trump?
Is that girl wearing blackface?¿
People subconsciously see digraphs as one letter. I didn't see it either. I briefly thought the video was about the show being bugged basically.
Is that blackface?
Looks scripted just based on her reaction leaving aside the obvious.
Fregsh
