There's a lot of pressure involved being on a TV game show. Even the smartest of people can break down under the expectations of a TV audience.

Melanie Fisher, a recent contestant on Wheel Of Fortune is very smart, having maintained a 4.0 GPA through college, from which she graduated in three years.

However, if you were to watchWheel of Fortune during Fisher's episode last week, you likely couldn't tell.

Especially if you looked at the Twitter comments.





How could someone so smart be causing such a reaction? Well, that might come down to the little mistakes Fisher made.

One puzzle had the letters slowly reveal themselves until a contestant buzzed in.

It got to this point:

"_ _L_Y GOO_ FELLOW"

Fisher buzzed in and gave the guess "Jolly Goof Fellow" which was clearly wrong.



Another contestant quickly answers "Jolly Good Fellow" securing him the spin.

An easy mistake, or an unbelievable one?





That's all right, Fisher had another chance with another puzzle.

As the contestants guess letters, another puzzle comes into focus.

With the letters revealed as:

"W_L_ES AND SHEEP"

Fisher took her guess to try "Wilkes and Sheep."



This was obviously incorrect.

After another contestant guessed the letter "V" Fisher seemed to beat herself up to not have gotten it.

The answer was:

"Wolves and Sheep"




We're sure Fisher doesn't feel too bad about it though. She ended up winning and making her way to the bonus round.

There are bigger mistakes we've seen on Wheel of Fortune, from contestants giving the wrong answer, to even host Pat Sajak himself giving away an answer.

Conservative Rep. Who Trump Threatened To Primary Calls Out GOP Over Spending Bill In Fiery Speech

After President-elect Donald Trump called for a primary against Texas Republican Representative Chip Roy for opposing lifting the debt ceiling for two years as part of a spending package, Roy took to the House floor to rip his GOP colleagues for being fiscally irresponsible.

The debt ceiling is a statutory cap on the amount the federal government can borrow. It has historically been a contentious issue in Congress, which has repeatedly raised or suspended it to prevent a default on the national debt. Critics argue, however, that removing the limit entirely could undermine the country’s long-term economic stability.

MTG Is Pushing For Elon Musk To Be Speaker Of The House—And Yes, It Could Happen

Far-right MAGA Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is all in for billionaire tech leader Elon Musk to become Speaker of the House, which is not out of the realm of possibility.

Even though every House Speaker has been a member of the U.S. House thus far, the U.S. Constitution does not explicitly have a provision in place stating they must be an incumbent House member.
