'Wheel of Fortune' Contestant Made a Bizarre Request After Winning $100,000 Bonus Prize
01/26/2022 04:02 pm EST
'I am absolutely appalled at Pat'
"I am absolutely appalled at Pat told this one hundred thousand dollar winner to sweep up the confetti. What's up with that?" one viewer wrote.
Making up for the December car fiasco?
"They needed to something for ratings, due to their unfortunate decision not to give that new car to that contestant awhile back," one person suggested. This was a reference to a December 2021 controversy that arose when a contestant lost a car because of a technicality.
'These videos make me so happy!'
"I'm misty eyed that the lady won $100,000 in the [Wheel Of Fortune] bonus round. (Sigh) I'm getting old," one viewer wrote.
Did Sajak go too far?
One fan defended Sajak. "Pat said at the end that the first thing Ilene said when the confetti dropped was 'Where's the broom? I want to clean up' and she laughed and said, 'It's true!' I guess listening is hard for some people," the fan wrote.
However, another fan thought Sajak went too far. "Yeah but once he handed her the broom and explained that she wanted to clean, the joke was over. Feels like him repeatedly telling her to get to work and 'don't just stand there' was a bit much lol," the viewer wrote.
'Couldn't happen to a better person'
"Congratulations Ilene! Enjoy your $112,000! You work at Beverly Hills maybe now you can buy something there. You did a great job with the push room. Very enjoyable show," one fan wrote.
'You go girl!!!!!'
"Congrats-but please replace the announcer-he sounded like he didn't give a crap someone just won big," one Sajak critic tweeted.
