‘Wheel of Fortune’ Fans Blast Ryan Seacrest For Teasing Player
Wheel of Fortune continues a successful season with Ryan Seacrest as the host. The ratings are up and fans seem to be tuning in at a high rate. However, there are many fans who refuse to accept Seacrest as the host and will nitpick everything he does. This happened again this week after he made an innocent quip with a player.
Here is what Ryan said and why it has some fans up in arms.
Ryan Seacrest Blasted For Comment To Player
Ryan Seacrest invited a player named Matt Benton to come and try to solve the Bonus Puzzle in a recent episode. Matt had already won an impressive $22,148 in cash and prizes. He moved over to the Bonus Puzzle and Ryan did what he always does – he asked who was there with Matt for this big moment.
Wheel Of Fortune: Ryan Seacrest
Matt said that his “sexy” wife Stephanie was with him. He said they also have three kids who were all at home watching on TV. Ryan than playfully quipped that he just “embarrassed all your kids with that exchange right there.” This is in response to Matt calling his wife “sexy.” Anyone with kids would know that is likely true, but many fans seemed oblivious to that.
“I love how they just assume his kids were embarrassed.”
“Seriously: as every day passes, this show gets more out-of-context. It’s kinda funny.”
“I’m still not used to the awkwardness known as SEACREST.”
While these fans seemed triggered, there was one funny comment from one of Matt’s kids. He said, “I’m his kid I was low key thrown off by the title I was like how did he embarrass me.” It seems his son didn’t feel bothered at all that his mom was considered “sexy.”
Matt Won His Wheel Of Fortune Bonus Puzzle
Ryan Seacrest told Matt to give the wheel a good spin and said his family was rooting for him. Matt got the envelope, and then they went to the puzzle. Matt chose “Place.”
The given letters were R, S, T, L, N, and E. At this point, the board read “- / –R—- / L-N-.” Matt looked at the board and chose the letters F, D, G, and O. This made the puzzle now read: “- / F-R—- / L-ND.” This made it a little tough and Matt tried to sound it out.
He sounded out a few, knowing the first word was “A” and the last was “Land.” He finally said “A Faraway Land” and won the puzzle. Ryan opened up the prize, and Matt won $40,000. Ryan excitedly gave him a high five, and then Matt’s wife ran over to hug her husband.
