'Wheel of Fortune's Latest Debacle Proves We Need to Amend the Rules

Wheel of Fortune has had its share of nail-biting moments, out-of-left-field funny guesses, heartbreaking losses, and big, big wins. And, as one might expect, the show has no shortage of opinions from fans who believe they're recycling puzzles too often, or that the bonus round questions are too difficult. Recently, a perpetual bee in the bonnet of fans was met with renewed scrutiny when a law student and single mom from Medina, Ohio, Arzice Salonga, missed out on $1,000 in the game's first toss-up round because of a mispronunciation of the word "safari." It's ridiculous and unfair, and proves that Wheel of Fortune needs to amend their rules.
