Megan Carvale lost out on $40k during the bonus round, but some 'Wheel of Fortune' viewers are convinced she actually said the right answer.

In a recent episode of Wheel of Fortune, contestant Megan Carvale found herself at the center of controversy when a potential $40,000 win slipped away.

Progressing to the bonus round with the category "living thing," Megan encountered the puzzle P_N_ _RC__D.


Despite her attempts, she couldn't solve it, and host Pat Sajak revealed the correct answer: pink orchid. Viewers at home, however, argued that Megan had guessed "pink orchid" correctly at first.

The ambiguity in her initial guess, whether it was "pink orchid" or "something orchid," fueled discussions within the Wheel of Fortune community.

Although Megan lost, fans claimed she was unfairly denied the prize, sparking a debate over the interpretation of her guess and the outcome of the game.

There were many people who were clamoring for justice in the comments of the posted video, arguing that they thought they heard "pink" as her first choice and saying that she should have won the $40k.

But most commenters were on the side of "something" being the first thing she said.

There were several good arguments for the "something" side of things. First, if she had said 'pink' and knew it, wouldn't she have spoken up or expressed that knowledge when the puzzle was revealed?

Then there were those who forgot about audio altogether and just read her lips.

Or, some people pointed out, you could turn on the closed captioning and see that it's marked as "something" not "pink."

Finally, someone had some unsolicited medical advice in the comments for those who persisted in hearing "pink.".

Carvale still won $14k, so at least she didn't go home empty-handed.

Trump And Musk Fact-Checked After Touting Voter ID In Wisconsin As A 'Big Win'

President Donald Trump and billionaire ally Elon Musk were widely mocked and fact-checked after they both took to social media to champion a voter ID requirement being approved by Wisconsin voters even though the state has actually required voter ID since 2011.

The two men grasped for positive news after liberal judge Susan Crawford won a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, successfully beating her Republican opponent Brad Schimel and ensuring that the nonpartisan court's narrow 4-3 liberal majority remains intact despite Musk's efforts to sway the race.
