Wheel of Fortune fans claim Ryan Seacrest's move prevented another player from winning the game and having the chance to win $75,000 in the bonus round.

Wheel of Fortune fans have been going back and forth over whether a contestant’s answer on Wednesday’s (November 6) episode should have been awarded despite their mispronunciation of a Texas city. And many are saying that host Ryan Seacrest was wrong to accept the answer.

The Ryan Seacrest era of "Wheel of Fortune" is off to a rough start, that's for sure. In just the past week alone, he has made two notable mistakes that have really bothered the viewers. Seacrest was selected as Pat Sajak's replacement earlier this year.

As Wheel of Fortune airs amid the 2024 TV schedule, a new era in the show's history is unfolding. In addition to fans noticing the computer-generated set, much has also been said about Ryan Seacrest being the new host after franchise veteran Pat Sajak's retirement.

Some Wheel of Fortune fans would like a word with new host Ryan Seacrest over what they felt was an overly lenient ruling on a player’s mispronunciation. While viewers understand that Seacrest is still finding his footing, the ruling may have been his first major slip-up, as it technically gave one player the win and took it away from another.
