It’s hard to pin-point what really went wrong here. This is not so much a result of classic Wheel of Fortune silliness, but more of a deprived childhood. Shouldn’t everyone know about Merlin the Magician?
Unfortunately, the contestant thought that Marvin the Magician seemed like the correct answer. Even stranger, the next contestant answered the exact same thing. Sounds like Marvin cast a spell on them.
You're On The Wrong Platform
This little perplexing puzzle of a phrase seemed to throw another Wheel of Fortune victim for a loop. For $7, 300, this head-scratcher read the phrase "elevator train platform". Guess they conjured that "o" and "r" straight out of thin air.
Unfortunately, the phrase is "elevator train platform". Seems obvious but, you never know.
That's Optimistic!
Strange choice. This guy must have grown up in a quite a seedy neighborhood if this was the first thing that he saw. On looking at that though, it does seem like the obvious choice.
Sadly for him, the answer, in the end, was actually "A Group of Well Wishers". Bet that might teach him to look at the glass half full then.
You Got The Wine?
This woman really needs to brush up on her music knowledge and start listening to some old classics. According to her, she thought that Cash's famous song was "I Have The Wine" and not "I Walk The Line".
Perhaps she was speaking her mind and really just visualized a tall glass of pinot in her mind to help her calm her nerves. That sure is one way to get through the game show!
Super 'Who'- Man?
It's no secret that Marvel keeps churning out new super-heroes, and at this point, we have gone far beyond the comic books. It seems like every day, a new comic book character gets their own film. Which is why it doesn't seem surprising that someone would conjure up "Spiderwoman" when trying to figure out this little word puzzle.
Of course, we all know that the answer was in fact "Superman and Wonder Woman". Odd how someone can forget poor Wonder Woman. She certainly has taken the spotlight lately. In any case, perhaps this poor contestant has unwittingly inspired Marvel Studios with a new heroine!
