On a recent episode of "Wheel of Fortune," viewers expressed outrage when host Ryan Seacrest ruled a contestant's pronunciation of "African Safari" as incorrect, costing her the first toss-up worth $1,000. Despite knowing what she meant, the contestant, Arzice Salonga, pronounced it as "sa-fair-i," which judges deemed unacceptable. Fans took to social media to criticize the decision, claiming it penalized her for a minor error. This incident highlights ongoing debates over strict game show rules and fairness in competition.
Earlier this week, contestant Arzice Salonga lost the game's first toss-up round that was worth $1,000. The category was "Event," as the two-word puzzle read, "A F _ I _ _ N / _ A _ A _ _.",
Seacrest stated, "Yes, safari is the way you have to say that. I just checked with our judges to make sure." This ruling led to numerous viewer complaints.
