The Voice’s furious fans call out ‘mean’ producers after shock end

The Voice’s furious fans call out ‘mean’ producers after shock end to Monday’s show

The Battle Rounds continued on Monday’s episode of The Voice, though producers made fans quite furious with a shocking cliffhanger.

The final battle round of the night was two singers from Gwen Stefani’s team, Jose Luis and Austyns Stancil, who both got four-chair turns in the Blind Auditions.

Luis, 21, and Stancil, 34, were picked to sing Sam Smith’s soulful song Lay Me Down, with both delivering incredibly strong performances.

While Gwen was let with a very tough decision, she ultimately went with Luis, but each of the remaining judges – Snoop Dogg, Michael Buble and Reba McEntire – used their steals to keep Stancil on the show.

The producers make the shocking decision to withhold Stancil’s decision until Tuesday night’s episode, which brought the ire of fans on social media.

@tyeishashaw revealed, ‘AUSTYN CHOOSE REBA, we need you,’ while @ElbatheOne only said, ‘#TheVoice Cliffhanger…’

While it won’t be known who Austyn picks until Tuesday, Gwen revealed that she picked Jose Luis because of his emotion and range.

‘It was such a tough decision, but I had to go with Jose. His dynamics, his emotion, his voice has so much range. I just wanted to see more of what he could do,’ Gwen said.

The Battle Rounds began with Danny Joseph and Deon Jones from Team Reba singing James Brown’s It’s a Man’s Man’s Man’s World.

Deon cried during a confessional while talking about his late grandmother while Reba was impressed with both singers in rehearsals, saying she got ‘chills.’

Reba and the other judges were impressed, with Reba picking Danny as the winner, because, ‘he’s so different,’ before Gwen stole Deon at the last possible second.

Next up was Brad Sample and Jake Tankersley from Team Snoop, who sing Stuck on You by Lionel Richie, a song that surprisingly neither of the country singers have heard of despite both being in their 30s.

They both delivered a soulful performance as Gwen apologized to Jake for blocking Reba during the Blind Auditions.

Snoop picks Jake as winner, and since Brad was not stolen, he will be heading home, as Michael insisted Snoop made the right choice.

Cozy Len and Felsmere were up next from Team Gwen, singing Summer Breeze by Seals and Crofts.

Felsmere got eliminated in the Battle Rounds way back in Season 1 and stayed in LA before returning to The Voice this season, while Len says the song is special because they say his wife’s name Jasmine many times.

While both singers performed admirably, Gwen picked Felsmere, earning her redemption from Season 1, while Cozy Len was not stolen.

Shye and Jamison Puckett performed next from Team Buble, singing Love Yourself by Justin Bieber, a song both can relate to.

The 17-year-old Shye said that musical theater helped with her confidence while Puckett was expecting his first child.

Buble ultimately picks Shye and says she has a ‘ton of a potential,’ even comparing her to Adele, while Jamison is not stolen.

Lauren Michael Sellers and Creigh Riepe from Team Reba sang You Will Be Found from Dear Evan Hansen

Both of their performances were so good in rehearsal that Reba got emotional, telling the duo, ‘it really got my heart.’

Reba picks Lauren Michael as winner, says she chose her because, ‘I liked everything about her,’ though Creigh is not stolen.

The Voice returns with the fourth installment of the Battle Rounds on Tuesday, October 29 at 8 PM ET on NBC.

The Voice Has “Too Many Sob Stories”

Following the premiere of The Voice Season 27, fans have fled to Reddit to share what they disliked about the first episode. For those who have been a longtime fan of the series, you won’t be surprised about what people are complaining about.

“Is anyone else tired of their being more time spent on people’s sob stories than on actual singing?” a user wrote on Reddit.

Many fans in the comments admitted that they record the show and fast forward through the commercials because they can’t stand the sob stories.

“I can fast forward through commercials and all the pointless stories and coach shenanigans and get to the singing,” a fan commented. “I can make it through a 2 hour blind audition in like 30 mins or something without all the talking.”

Others, pointed out the fact that the producers push too hard to have these stories for the show. They would rather there not be the chance of a sympathy vote, instead they are watching for talent.

“It’s marketing from the producers. Oh, make them feel empathy and sympathy for those having a rough time,” a fan commented. “Let’s hook them with this sob story, etc. Do they really think we are all that clueless?”

Fans Also Dislike Coach Skits

While discussing how much fans dislike sob stories, other commenters shared their disliking of the coach skits. For those who may not be familiar, there are often skits involving multiple coaches, talking about the competition.

Typically, these skits involve the coaches talking about who has the better team, who’s the better coach, etc. These skits are typically used to break up the auditions and give the show a change of pace.

Also, fans consider these skits inclusive of things like Kelsea Ballerini’s Adam insult button, and John Legend‘s join Team Legend dance. These ploys often make it on to Reddit’s The Voice community each season, so it’s no surprise we’re seeing it now.

The Voice returns to NBC on Monday, February 10. This season, the show will air only on Mondays at 8/7c for the Blind Auditions through the Playoffs. During the live shows, the show will return to it’s Monday and Tuesday format.

Fume The Voice viewers as they slam coach Michael Bublé over ‘ANNOYING’ habit

‘He’s not the star of the show’ fume The Voice viewers as they slam coach over ‘annoying’ habit

THE Voice viewers have slammed one of the coaches over their ‘annoying’ habit.

Reba McEntire, Gwen Stefani, Michael Bublé and Snoop Dogg all returned to our screens last night for another instalment of the NBC show.

Some fans have said the same thing about MichaelCredit: Getty
The fifth blind auditions saw the likes of Cameron Wright, Mark Shiiba and BEYA take to the stage.

And while the reality TV show is about those who audition, some fans think that Michael is doing too much attention-grabbing antics and is making it all about him.

One wrote on Reddit: “I am starting to dislike Michael Buble. Last show, I found myself talking to the tv, telling him to shut up every time he gave HIS on-and-on performance. He needs to learn that he’s not the star of the show; the performers are.”

They added: “The show is called THE VOICE not THE VOICE COACHES.”

Another confessed: “This is why we quit watching. I thought Kelly was bad, everything was about her. It’s getting worse.”

A fourth wrote: “This show has always been more about the coaches than about the performers. But I agree, I think this self absorbed behavior is what makes this show unwatchable at times. And this counts for most or all of the coaches – at least during the blinds.”

Michael has spoken out about his life experiences as a musician to many of those who have performed in front of the judges.

Previously he opened up about how he started his career.

Michael said: “I was 16/17 and I started playing in these weird clubs and no one ever paid to see me.

“My grandpa was a plumber and he used to trade free plumbing to the club owner and the musicians would let me in.”

Gwen Stefani slammed for ‘disturbing’ treatment of ‘terrified’ tiny kitten on The Voice premiere
In another time he said: “The cool part about this show is these four people are going to help you to emulate to take what you want.

“That’s what we do as artists, we take from our heroes, we stand on the soldiers of the people tat we love and then we find ourselves.

“I love that one of us is going to get to be apart of watching you find yourself through your love of different genres and artists.

“Thank you so much for coming to our show.”

Last night performer BEYA, from Kauai in Hawaii, performed Ruby & the Romantic’s song Our Day Will Come.

Despite her incredible voice, Michael decided to not turn around.

He then explained: “I was sitting here thinking, ‘I love her voice, but can she be versatile?

“‘What she’s gonna be like with R&B or pop or country?’ And I couldn’t talk myself into going, ‘Yeah, she’ll be able to do that!’

“Now, here’s what’s gonna happen: You are gonna prove me completely wrong … and I will flog myself for this.”

However the singer was completely wrong about her.

BEYA told the camera before her performance: “Being a bilingual artist in Hawaii is hard to come by.

“I’m a full-time musician and I have to play some kind of Latin music at every gig. The crowd loves it; it’s a really sweet treat.

“Usually, I perform in intimate settings and now I’m about to step onto the biggest stage that I’ve ever sang on in my life.

“I would love to do a Latin song on the show, but my go-to genre is soul and R&B.”

Michael joined The Voice this year.

See The Voice Coach Michael Bublé’s Had A Rocky Dating Resume

Michael Bublé’s Had A Rocky Dating Resume Before His Rise To Stardom

In 2022, Michael Bublé revealed that he was “close” to quitting music. “I think I’m not loving it as much, I think I’m getting close to thinking maybe I can just go and be a dad,” he said of his career on That Gaby Roslin Podcast.

When he was making his comeback, his son had just been diagnosed with cancer. In the podcast, the married father of four said: “I have this picture in my head, of just me in a field with my kids and Ed Sheeran’s kids and we’re just hugging each other and picnicking and getting drunk.”

A lot has definitely changed in the Sway hitmaker’s personal life. But before and during the height of his fame, he had quite a scandalous love life — from past dates calling him an “egomaniac” to admitting that he was “a jerk” to ex-girlfriend, Devil Wears Prada alum, Emily Blunt.

Here’s a closer look at Bublé’s relationship history.

What Happened Between Michael Bublé And Emily Blunt?

In 2008, Bublé and Blunt broke up after three years of dating and admitting that “it’s not easy” being together with conflicting work schedules. “They are no longer a couple,” his rep told People at that time (per Hello). The two seemed head over heels with each other before. “I get tears in my eyes when I see him onstage. It’s overwhelming,” the actress said of the singer in 2007.

The Home performer also said of Blunt: “Every time I see her onscreen, I fall in love with her all over again.” While the latter never spoke of their relationship, the former told Entertainment Tonight Canada in 2008: “In my business it’s tough to go out with another artist because you’re never together.”

“You’re lucky if you can see the person once every two to three months, and with Em, she was on her movies and I was doing my thing so it made it more difficult,” he continued, saying that after their split: “I’ll go home and I’ll curl up in a ball and I’ll cry. I’m not kidding. I’ll just cry.”

The artist confessed to making mistakes in the relationship, too. “I was a jerk and I was careless and reckless with the hearts of women I was with. And I got my karma. I earned it,” he said. “I got my butt and heart kicked and it hurt me enough that I looked in the mirror and I didn’t want it to happen again. If I wanted to be a happy guy and really fall in love, I would have to love myself.”

What Did Michael Bublé’s Exes Say About Him?

In a Pop Culture Chat Reddit thread titled, “Does anyone have any ‘Knew them before the fame story’ for anyone,” a few netizens spilled some tea on Bublé being an “egomaniac” even to his pre-fame exes. “A friend went on a date with Michael buble before he was big. She said his ego was prematurely big. There was no second date,” one shared.

Another replied: “This tracks. There was a bit of a scandal back in 2010ish. An ex partner said he was an egomaniac/self-obsessed jerk who who boast about being great in bed.” Someone even said they’re “still not over that Covid Livestream oopsie where he was being rude to his wife and then quickly switched when he saw the camera was rolling.”

Bublé visibly elbowed his wife on the said video. A user said of the incident: “I am never going to be over that. I’m fully convinced it’ll come out that he’s a nightmare to live with and I wouldn’t be surprised if he was abusive to his wife behind closed doors. He gives me such a vibe.”

Who Is Michael Bublé’s Wife?

Bublé is married to Argentine actress, Luisana Lopilato. The two tied the knot in 2011, three years after meeting at his concert in Buenos Aires. He actually wrote his 2009 hit, Haven’t Met You Yet, for Lopilato. They welcomed their first child, Noah, in 2013. Three years later, they had another son, Elias. Unfortunately, Noah was diagnosed with cancer that same year.

Lopilato gave birth to their daughter, Vida Amber Betty in 2018. A year after celebrating their 10th wedding anniversary, they welcomed their fourth and probably last baby, another girl named Cielo Yoli Rose.

In May 2022, Lopilato appeared in Bublé’s music video for I’ll Never Not Love You. “I thought it would be really cool to be able to travel through those scenes with the love of my real life, my wife, who just happens to be a great actress and happens to be really beautiful and wonderful,” the musician said at that time.

“So, for me, it was this very cool family affair,” he added. In May 2023, he wrote a Mother’s Day tribute to his wife on Instagram, calling her “an INCREDIBLE person. Smart, funny, kind, driven, creative, curious and passionate!”

He said raising their kids together is his “greatest accomplishment.” Lopilato responded in the comments, saying: “I love you mi amor! Thank you for working hard and being happy to see me happy.”

The Voice fans FURIOUS over major production mistake that happens ‘every season’

The Voice has narrowed down the competition to it’s top eight performers but some viewers are struggling with a surprising issue allegedly afflicting a show that is all about singing – the sound.

Frustrated viewers of The Voice vented their frustrations over what they called persistent sound troubles on the show following Monday night’s episode.

Fans claimed they were unable to hear the contestants sing, an issue they claim plagues the show every season.

On a Reddit thread entitled ‘The production team is sleeping?’, Voice fans weighed in with their observations about the poor sound quality.

‘Maybe I need a new tv. I’m also kind of grateful because I’m not enjoying the singers, but I also can’t hear them sing. Turn up the mics,’ the original poster wrote.

Another viewer said this season had turned them off from the show completely as they grumbled about the sound troubles.

‘I’m done with the show due to this season. This has happened on many occasions where the music is way louder than the person singing. If I can hear background singers over the artist, there is an issue. Idk if it was due to the live show or what but wtf,’ the Reddit user noted.

‘Oh, but you could hear Sting changing chords on his guitar loud and clear. THAT was bad. Never heard any show mix their sound that poorly,’ another weighed in, prompting another to respond: ‘The voice is always like that. I have to max my speakers to hear. Every other show I have the volume at like 60%.’

Another observed: ‘Happens every season for some reason….’

One theorized the sound troubles were either due to the band or the quality of the performers.

‘The band is so loud OR the singers are so bad they are covering them up. Annoying that the background drowns the voices,’ they theorized.

The complaints continued over on X, where one asked: ‘#thevoice Why tf this “background” music so loud? I can’t even hear the singers.’

Another X user said the volume drowned out host Carson Daly.

‘They always have the music way too loud during the lives for whatever reason,’ another chimed in. ‘So loud I couldn’t even hear Carson taking us to commercials.’

Christina Eagle was among the eight performers on last night’s episode

In a Reddit thread entitled ‘The production team is sleeping?’, viewers weighed in with their critiques of the sound

‘Almost lost jan dan there music too loud,’ another said of contestant Jan Dan.

‘I also felt the band was too loud,’ a reality TV fan quipped in their assessment.

Last night saw Christina Eagle, Adam Bohanan, Danny Joseph, Jeremy Beloate, Jan Dan, Shye, Sofronio Vasquez and Sydney Sterlace hit the stage.

Mega mentor Sting also provided musical accompaniment during a duet portion of the program featuring his musical hits.

Reba McEntire, Gwen Stefani, Snoop Dogg, and Michael Buble lent their expertise as judges.

The complaints could also be found on X

The latest episode comes after former coach Ariana Grande revealed she has no plans to return to the show due to her emotional attachment to the contestants; pictured 2021

The latest episode comes after former coach Ariana Grande revealed she has no plans to return to the show.

After previously serving as a judge and mentor on the music competition show in 2021, the Wicked actress, 31, revealed why she would be hesitant to ever return to the gig.

‘I got so emotionally attached to everyone. That’s my problem. I can’t really do that because I really get in,’ she said on the Las Culturistas podcast.

The 7 Rings hitmaker continued: ‘I really get in there with everyone. I love everyone so much. I love meeting people, and I’ve felt so invested.’

‘Wheel of Fortune’ Maggie Sajak Drops BIG NEWS & HINTS. Is this a sign that she might be taking Ryan Seacrest’s place?

‘Wheel of Fortune’: Maggie Sajak Drops Big News & Hints at Future Beyond Show

ABC/Christopher Willard
ABC/Christopher Willard

Maggie Sajak has grown into her role as Wheel of Fortune’s social media correspondent, handling the game show’s online content with a letter-perfect touch since 2021. However, on Thursday (November 14), she announced a professional update outside the WoF world that could change all that and see her more focused on other opportunities.

Sajak took to her Instagram stories to share a photo (below) in an office holding up her lawyer oath certificate, having passed the California State Bar Exam. She was beaming in a matching gray office-chic vest and pants.

She captioned the post, “A couple [of] months ago, I officially took the oath to become a lawyer in the state of California. Thank you to everyone who supported me through this journey. I am excited to do some good with this in the future.”

It’s unclear if Sajak will be becoming a lawyer full-time, but her stating she’d be using her license in some capacity is a major hint she could dedicate more of her time to law than WoF as her career.

Sajak’s post comes as, of course, her legendary father Pat Sajak has been replaced as host by Ryan Seacrest, now taking the stage nightly with the iconic Vanna White. Maggie handles WoF’s Instagram page, does the “Fan Friday” giveaway as well as shares bonus videos with each episode’s winners (and viral non-winners).

However, when Pat announced his retirement after 42 years, many fans were convinced that his 29-year-old-daughter would score a hosting role. Some speculated Sajak would become the host or White would host, and Sajak would become the letter-turner. The game show quickly secured Seacrest instead, with White at the puzzle board until at least 2026 under her new contract.

Still, under her Instagram posts after the selection, fans long to see Sajak on-screen. White also backed her as a “good replacement” for her last year.

“So, why not make Vanna White host and Maggie the new cohost? I’m not even in television and I know that’s a damn slam dunk,” one fan wrote under a photo in August.

“Maggie’s coming eventually,” replied another. “I’d give Vanna like 5ish more years.”

A third pointed out, “A debatable hosting performance of Vanna’s when filling in for Pat, back in December 2019, and having said in an interview that she refuses to give it another go, another problem with Maggie is she’s busy studying to become a lawyer.”

Sajak’s own Instagram account is almost entirely devoted to WoF content, so it’s a lesser-known fact she has been pursuing law. In 2013, Sajak began her freshman year at Princeton University, and was featured in a fashion shoot for Teen Vogue. She graduated from Princeton and did an additional postgraduate program at Columbia University. In May 2023, she graduated from Georgetown University Law School (below).

While Maggie obviously had a leg up with WoF, she seems to take her job extremely seriously and is signed on as social correspondent for three more years. She appeared as a “special letter toucher” (AKA White’s role) in 2020 while her dad was dealing with a health issue. She made her on-screen debut as a toddler in 1996 when Pat walked her onto the stage. Now that she’s third wheel, so to speak, it would seem she’s not putting all her eggs in one basket.

What do you think? Is Maggie Sajak’s Instagram post is a sign she’ll be more focused on law in the future? Let us know in the comments section below!

Ryan Seacrest can be FIRED because of updated details about ‘Wheel of Fortune’

‘Jeopardy!’ & ‘Wheel of Fortune’ Ratings Revealed 5 Months After Ryan Seacrest Debut

Disney/CBS

In the battle for game show supremacy one show has seen a surge in ratings while the other has cooled down.  New figures show that Jeopardy! is back on top as Wheel of Fortune saw a drop in viewing figures.

And it seems that some of that could be down to contestant Drew Goins, who appeared on Jeopardy!‘s Champions Wild Card Tournament during the week of January 20 to January 26, which saw the game show reclaim its top spot. Despite falling just short of victory against Mehal Shah for a spot in the Tournament of Champions, Goins was picked to be an alternate after Celebrity Jeopardy! winner Lisa Ann Walter wasn’t able to take her spot. Sadly, he lost in the semi-final on February 6.

The U.S. Sun reports that 8,430,000 people tuned in to watch Jeopardy! that week, according to Nielsen. Wheel of Fortune wasn’t far behind with 8,111,000 viewers.

These ratings come five months after Ryan Seacrest made his debut as host on WOF. He took over for Pat Sajak, who retired in 2024 after 41 seasons.

In October, just weeks after Seacrest made his debut on Wheel of Fortune, the game show totaled 7.99 million total viewers, making its best premiere month audience (9/9/24-10/6/24) in three years. At the time, Wheel was TV’s number one most-watched entertainment program, surpassing Jeopardy!, which is hosted by Ken Jennings. Wheel has long trailed Jeopardy! in ratings, despite the game shows airing back-to-back in syndication. Even with the celebrity versions, Jeopardy! pulls ahead.

The reason for Wheel‘s rating drop could be because fans noticed the game show is consistently giving away $40,000 during the Bonus Round. After a contestant correctly guesses the puzzle in the Bonus Round, Seacrest reveals how much they added to their jackpot by opening an envelope with a cash amount on it.

Without fail, it seems that Seacrest continuously opens $40,000 envelopes and not any higher.

YouTube viewers were not enthused with the prize and wondered if there were any higher amounts on the wheel.

“When I saw Ryan was hiding the prize from the envelope, I thought he [was] gonna surprise her and the audience with $100,000!” a viewer commented.

“How many $40,000 envelopes are there in the Bonus Round? I see another $40,000 win again,” one fan wrote.

“I thought for sure [Seacrest] was going to reveal the $100,000, and it was only the $40,000. Still, a great solve and great effort. Nice work!” said another.

Another fan observed Season 42 hasn’t had any $1 million, $70K, or $75K winners yet.

[SO SAD] Wheel Of Fortune is COMPLETELY OUTMATCHED by Jeopardy!, leaving fans heartbroken

‘Wheel of Fortune’ Knocked Down in Ratings by ‘Jeopardy!’

In the category of “game show viewership,” Jeopardy! took Wheel of Fortune for 319,000 in January. In the form of a question: What is a “ratings boost?”

According to Nielsen ratings, per The U.S. Sun, Jeopardy!’s Champions Wild Card Tournament drew 8,430,000 the week of January 20 to January 26. In the same week, Wheel drew only 8,111,000 viewers. For contrast, between September 9 and 15, 8,310,000 viewers watched Wheel of Fortune while only 7,113,000 tuned in to Jeopardy!.

The Sun credits Jeopardy! fan favorite tournament player Drew Goins for the ratings boost. Goins, an opinion writer at The Washington Post, became a fan favorite for his charm, good looks, and great performance on the show. One user called Goins “a $ex symbol,” while another called him “one of my favorite Jeopardy contestants” when the writer opened up an “Ask Me Anything” post on Reddit.

The respective hosts of the two shows, Ken Jennings of Jeopardy! and Ryan Seacrest of Wheel of Fortune, face similar challenges as they’ve both replaced veteran hosts.

Jennings, 50, replaced Alex Trebek, who died in 2020 after hosting 37 seasons of Jeopardy!. Jennings, the highest-earning game show winner in America, initially split the role of host with Mayim Bialik after Trebek’s death, but was made full-time host in 2023.

Seacrest, also 50, replaced Pat Sajak after the Wheel of Fortune icon retired in June 2024. Iconic letter-turner Vanna White co-hosts the show with the American Idol alum.

Both hosts have received both praise and criticism for their turns on their respective game shows.

Seacrest reportedly went through a rigorous preparation process to take over Wheel, requesting that Sony send him all 8,000 episodes of the series. As for Jennings’ preparation, he holds the record for the longest winning streak in the competition.

On his website, he said on that in preparation for competing on Jeopardy!, he “set new nerdiness records” watching the show twice a day, “standing up behind my recliner to imitate the podium experience,” and “hammering my thumb on my toddler’s Fisher-Price ring-stack toy, which I figured was about the same size as the Jeopardy! buzzer.”

[SO SAD] Wheel Of Fortune gets BAD NEWS, and fans are left feeling let down

The Real Reason Wheel Of Fortune Lost 300K Watchers

Have wheel watchers lost interest in America’s Game Show? Jeopardy! is beating Wheel of Fortune in the ratings because of a hunky contestant.

Wheel of Fortune fans have been watching Drew Gains on Jeopardy!

Wheel of Fortune was the hottest game show in the evenings. Ryan Seacrest contributed to the ratings when he joined the show in September. Since then, the game show lost 300,000 viewers.

Ushering In A New Era

Seacrest replaced Pat Sajak in 2024. The game show unveiled a new set and graphics and appeared to be hitting a new stride. Seacrest contributed to the ratings. The U.S. Sun reported that 8,310,000 viewers watched the show the first week he became host, the most the show had seen in years.

Ratings have been steady for months, but that has changed recently. According to a new report, WoF lost 300,000 viewers. The show is now in second place with 8,111,000 viewers. This sudden drop comes after Seacrest’s fate has been revealed. Some fans wondered how long he plans to host the game show.

What Changed?

There’s a reason for the drop in viewership. It’s not that wheel watchers lost interest in Seacrest. They’re tuning into another blonde-haired man. Drew Goins stole the spotlight on Jeopardy! He was the alternate for the Tournament of Champions. Ultimately, he made it all the way to another tournament.

Drew suffered a wardrobe malfunction during his debut on the show.

He wasn’t wearing an undershirt, and viewers noticed they could see his nipples through his sweater. Drew also got a question about Taylor Swift wrong during his first time on the show. But he was able to redeem himself. Drew quickly became a fan-favorite during the Second Chance Tournament.

As a result, 8,430,000 viewers have tuned into Jeopardy! Those wheel watchers are watching Drew instead. It sounds like Seacrest has some hefty competition.

So far, Drew is in second place with $17,600. What are your thoughts on Jeopardy! topping WoF in the ratings? Does this surprise you? Let us know in the comment section.

[JUST IN] ‘Wheel of Fortune’ fans want Vanna White to ‘RETIRE or be REMOVED’

‘Wheel of Fortune’ fans think it’s time for Vanna White to ‘retire or be removed’: “I’m not sure…”

Pat Sajak’s departure as “Wheel of Fortune” host after four decades was a major change that fans had to adjust to, and even now a lot of them feel that Ryan Seacrest hasn’t been able to match up. Like Sajak, Vanna White is also popular among fans for her poise and grace. But, some believe that she has been on the show for far too long, and needs to follow in the footsteps of her former co-host.

The discussion about White’s retirement unfolded on Reddit when a user named Amber_Flowers_133 posted a question in r/WheelOfFortune. “What are your Hot Takes on WOF?” the user asked. Unsurprisingly, there were opinions about Ryan Seacrest and Pat Sajak as well. The show’s fanbase was somewhat divided between the two hosts, leading to debates in the comments section. However, it was surprising to some to see Vanna White’s name being mentioned as well.

“Vanna needs to retire,” one user named Enough-Detective-861 commented. “That is a hot take. Hard disagree lol let her stay as long as she wants. I love her,” quipped another user named deutschpascal18. “Replace Vannah or remove the role altogether. I’m not sure what the appeal is of having a grandmother pretend to turn letters and do a fashion runway for clothes most women her age would never wear. They never even say where the clothes come from and whether or not it’s a paid form of advertisement,” commented another user named ElGuaco.

However, many wanted White to remain on the show and maybe even take over as host from Seacrest. “Vanna should host, and Ryan should be the letter flipper,” one user named Temporary-Ear-7798 wrote. “Personally think Vanna would be great on a talk show panel of hosts along with others,” added commentator3. What was clearly visible is that White won’t be leaving the show anytime soon.

White has been a perfect co-host on the show, but once in a while, everyone is allowed to slip up. That’s what a lot of “Wheel of Fortune” fans think she did in a video. She and Seacrest were seen in skiing gear on what one can assume to be a snow-clad hill. It was a part of the ‘Winter Wonderland’ week. Seacrest then took off skiing but after going a short distance, lost his balance and fell. His co-host was shocked and blurted out what many believe was a common expletive. “I’m going to go and help Ryan, bye bye,” she then says as she goes off. “I swear she says the F word,” a user called johnburrowsfan wrote. “Yes, I have it recorded too. I’ve listened to it like 30 times trying to figure out an alternative explanation,” another added.

However, some users believe that this was being blown out of proportion as that was not the word she said. “She said “Look”. At least that’s what the closed captioning said,” kerosenehat63 commented.
