'Wheel of Fortune' contestant who lost on a technicality speaks out about rule change debate
Fox News
There are no hard feelings for “Wheel of Fortune” contestant David Petersen despite recently losing big money on the show due to a technicality with the rules.
"I asked Pat [Sajak] to solve it. And as I went to solve the puzzle, of course, he says every time, ‘Do not add anything.’ Well, he says this, you hear it, but the number one thing I'm focused on is pronouncing the words correctly," Petersen told Fox News over the phone. A spokesperson for "Wheel of Fortune" told Fox News that the rule has been in place for a while and that contestants are warned of the technicality ahead of time.More Related News
