‘Wheel Of Fortune’ Pat Sajak Shades Nervous Contestant

Wheel of Fortune host Pat Sajak recently shaded a nervous contestant on the show. Fans have noticed that he has become increasingly unhinged. Especially since he is just months away from filming his final episode and some think he should just hang up the towel. So, what exactly happened? Read on for more details.

Wheel Of Fortune Pat Sajak Shades Nervous Contestant

For some time now, Pat Sajak has not been the best to the contestants. His time is almost up as the host of Wheel of Fortune. He has had this job for over forty years and last June, he shared that he was leaving his post. This was a shock for many but also somewhat of a relief as it felt like he was tired of his job. Come the fall of 2024, Ryan Seacrest will take over but for now, Sajak is still in charge. Recently, he seemed to shade a contestant who was nervous to begin with.

According to The Sun, sweet Southern Belle Ashley made it to the bonus round and had the category of “What Are You Doing?” While she watched the letters she had chosen for the board to go with RSTLNE pop up, she seemed to get nervous. That was when Pat said this: “It’s too early to panic.” However, once the countdown started and it was officially time to guess, he told Ashley she was then allowed to panic. Ultimately, she messed up a puzzle that many fans felt was too easy and simple to miss.

It had something to do with aisles so Ashley took the guess of: “Something the aisles, grazing the aisles?” That was completely wrong. In the end, the answer was “Browsing the aisles.” When Pat Sajak was able to finally reveal this, he mocked her efforts: “You don’t graze ’em, you don’t braise ’em.” All she could do was laugh at the epic mistake she had made. Pat soon checked to make sure she was fine. Aside from the fact that she lost out on a car, she assured him she was fine.

Not A Fan

Sadly, Pat Sajak is losing fans by the episode and many Wheel of Fortune viewers cannot wait for him to exit. They took to Twitter/X to share their thoughts on him:

Pat Sajak can’t retire soon enough.

Maybe Pat Sajak should think of retiring sooner? He keeps screwing up… A contestant mispronounced a word which was the right answer or has his cue cards wrong when introducing another contestant…

Seems like fans are ready for something new but it will take some more time before the transition is made. Are you growing tired of Pat Sajak? More so, are you looking forward to seeing Ryan Seacrest? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
