‘Wheel of Fortune’ Contestant Misses Out on a Car After a Costly Bonus Round Slip
Wheel of Fortune viewers witnessed another tense bonus round when contestant Greg Swiszcz narrowly missed out on a major prize after an otherwise strong performance throughout the game.
Greg dominated much of the night, building an early lead and securing his place in the bonus round with a solid cash total.
With his son cheering from the sidelines, he selected the “Phrase” category and stepped into the spotlight alongside host Ryan Seacrest.
The puzzle appeared simple, but as the clock ticked down, one crucial detail proved elusive.
Greg clearly had the right idea, offering multiple guesses that came close, but not close enough.
When the answer was finally revealed, both Greg and viewers at home realized just how near he had been to a brand-new car.
Fans quickly took to social media, calling it one of the most frustrating bonus rounds in recent memory.
Once again, a major prize remained unclaimed, a reminder that on Wheel of Fortune, even a great game can come down to a single word.
