Since Pat Sajak allegedly robbed a contestant on a recent episode of Wheel of Fortune, he has once again found himself in hot water. You might remember that just a month ago, Sajak came under fire online after it was asserted that a contestant had allegedly been “robbed” of $100,000.
On that occasion—the April 6 episode—Texas Woman’s University participant Alexa Hoekstra made it to the bonus round. Her letter selection caused “__ST _IN_ING IT” to show up on the board under the heading “What Are You Doing?”. Despite some Wheel fans’ insistence to the contrary, Alexa did not correctly answer “JUST WING IT,” and thus missed out on the $100,000 prize.

Players must figure out the phrase during the game by interpreting the letters that have been put together. Neetu Varshney appeared to have come close to correctly answering the question. She was actually so close to getting it right that viewers thought host Pat Sajak was unfair to her by not giving her the benefit of the doubt. Varshney’s best guess for the phrase they were looking for was “In a moment’s notice.”

The fact that Varshney’s follow competitor Jeremy Manos went on to correctly solve the puzzle and win $2,000 made matters worse for Varshney. While Sajak was only following the letter of the law, it appears that many viewers believed Varshney had been treated unfairly. One Twitter user claimed: “@WheelofFortune @patsajak NEETU got robbed on that puzzle solve. ”. Neetu absolutely said, “At a moment’s notice,” so she deserved the puzzle win at Wheel of Fortune. “, added another.

Another chimed in, saying, “Neetu got screwed!! Clean your ears, Pat!! WheelOfFortune @WheelofFortune.
Fourth: “Last night’s episode of @WheelofFortune and @patsajak was a complete failure.
I’m a huge fan of both of them. Contestant Neetu was incorrectly called on two guesses, and I’m confident that her accent was to blame. I’m simply anticipating her invitation to return. “.
