Price Is Right fans fume after contestant is booted from game after ‘painful’ blunder
One The Price is Right contestant failed a basic element of the game “four times” before being “asked to leave” in a toe-curling moment.
Wheel of Fortune: Rex & Katherine’s Bonus Round
This The Price Is Right contestant just couldn’t get the hang of the game – even with the help of host Drew Carey.
The contestant in question, whose name was Elvira, set a record by spinning the famous wheel numerous times on the game show, before not moving on to the next round.
Usually, that would be a great first spin, but unfortunately, host Drew broke the news to her that it didn’t count.
“The wheel has to go around at least once,” he instructed.

Drew took matters into his own hands and said: “Here. Let me help you out.”
With Drew’s help, Elvira landed on 75 and he told her she had one more spin.
He tried to help her again, but she told him she had everything under control so Drew left her to it.
The spin landed in between numbers, so it didn’t count… again.
When Elvira spun for the fifth and final time, she landed on 40, going over 100, meaning she was eliminated before Drew escorted her off of the stage.

After seeing the disaster play out during the episode that aired on May 10, fans stormed to X, formally Twitter, to share their thought on it.
One viewer @SeanBParsons wrote: “There was just a woman on The Price is Right who couldn’t spin the wheel a full rotation and after 4 times they gave up and asked her to leave hahaha!”
“Painful! Was their last spin even a full one? #thepriceisright #fail,” @PearlJamPat added, as fan @PearlJamPat agreed, saying: “Insanity! That was embarrassingly painful to watch! #fail #tpir.”
A fourth user @_deeez commented: “That’s epic. How do you go on the show and are told FOUR times to spin it properly and don’t! Crazy.”
