'Wheel of Fortune' Episode Leaves Viewers in Shock Over Unbelievable Streak of Bad Luck

On Wednesday, Sept. 18, fans of Wheel of Fortune were left astounded by an extraordinary sequence of misfortune that struck three contestants during a recent episode. Co-host Ryan Seacrest, who made his debut last week following Pat Sajak’s retirement, was clearly taken aback by the bizarre events that unfolded.

Contestants Brent, Tanijah, and Melissa seemed to be caught in a whirlwind of bad luck, repeatedly landing on the dreaded “bankrupt” and “lose a turn” wedges. Seacrest jokingly questioned the wheel itself, asking, “Should we have a conversation with this wheel?” as the trio faced a seemingly endless barrage of unfortunate spins.

After Brent’s turn resulted in “lose a turn,” Tanijah managed to guess a letter, only to follow it up with yet another “bankrupt.” Melissa’s spin met the same fate, further fueling the disbelief in the studio. Seacrest, visibly perplexed, remarked, “I’ve never seen anything like this before,” urging Brent to “break this curse.” Unfortunately, Brent's next spin also landed on “lose a turn,” leaving Seacrest exasperated, asking, “What is going on?”

The episode quickly became a trending topic online, with viewers taking to social media to express their astonishment. Comments on Reddit captured the sentiment, with one user declaring, “That had to be the biggest run of bad luck on the wheel I've seen in a long time!” Others chimed in, calling the streak “crazy” and “insane,” while some humorously suggested that the game was “rigged.”

One viewer quipped, “It’s not even Friday the 13th and the wheel is cursed,” while another dubbed the episode the “Wheel of MISFORTUNE.” Many shared in the disbelief, with one noting, “What a messy first round, my goodness.”

As the episode concluded, it was clear that this bizarre sequence of events would be remembered by fans for a long time to come.
