"You know, this one's tough because you said all the right words, including the word 'word' but, as you know, it's gotta be more or less continuous," Sajak said during the episode. "We'll allow for a little pause but not four or five seconds. I'm sorry. You did a good job in getting it, but we can't give you the prize, and it was the Audi."

What is this "Continuous" thing?
She got it right, she deserved the Audi.
Period. https://t.co/1xai61rqFx
"I hope you give her the car she deserves," one fan wrote. "As much as I like the show I will not watch until I hear she got it."

Some viewers were confused about how the whole thing went down. After all, she did say the phrase before the buzzer.

This fan brought up that she lost the car on a Christmas episode, no less. That's not the holiday spirit.
prevnextSo Wrong
That’s so wrong! Like giving her the car is going to break the bank- she got the puzzle! It’s kinda of like sneezing in the middle of the sentence, would you hold that against her too? https://t.co/MOsaetfId1

"Give her the damn car," another viewer weighed in. "She said in the time allowed, she said all the words in order. Just so wrong!"
prevnextWow
Whoa lol I may have had a full blown tantrum if this had been me. She clearly solved the puzzle #wheeloffortune #GIVEHERTHEQ3 https://t.co/720NzgF64f

Viewers were simply shocked by the fact that Wheel of Fortune did not give her the prize. But, maybe she'll end up with a car after all if Audi has its way.
