‘Wheel of Fortune’ Contestant Nails Bonus Round Puzzle That Left Viewers Stunned
A Durham, North Carolina woman stole the spotlight on Wheel of Fortune’s Disney Princess Week, walking away with an astonishing win — all thanks to a surprising slip-up by a fellow contestant.
Beth Barbee, a genealogy enthusiast, faced off against California’s Twyla Arbuckle and Wisconsin’s Bryan Babler in a game packed with clever Disney-themed puzzles.
Early rounds were neck-and-neck, but Barbee’s skill and quick thinking soon put her in control.
She solved the first full puzzle, “Snow White Chocolate,” and earned the coveted Disney Princess wedge, landing a luxurious vacation prize.
The dramatic twist came during a round under “What Are You Doing?”
Arbuckle nearly had the puzzle “_ LLO_ING _ _ BL _ _” solved but accidentally guessed a letter already on the board.
That misstep gave Barbee the perfect opening — she quickly solved it as “Following My Bliss,” earning a dream trip on the Disney Wish cruise ship to the Bahamas.
Barbee didn’t stop there. She continued her streak, ultimately racking up $32,392 in cash and prizes, leaving her competitors far behind.
Arbuckle and Babler picked up smaller winnings but could only watch as Barbee dominated the night.
From clever wordplay to a dramatic bonus round, this episode showcased why quick thinking — and a little luck — can turn a good game into an unforgettable victory.
