‘Wheel of Fortune’ Contestant Shocks Audience With NSFW Answer
Things got x-rated on the latest episode of the hit game show Wheel of Fortune when a contestant gave a totally NSFW answer.
On the May 23 episode of the show, a contestant named Tavaris left the audience as well as host Pat Sajak in shock when his "Phrase" category guess.
There were many blank spots left of the puzzle with only the letters I, T, E, B, and T filled in.
"Right in the butt?" Tavaris guesses that the puzzle will read.
The audience and his fellow contestants laughed at his answer while Sajak gave a simple response with "No."
The puzzle was solved, however, it was solved by another contestant on the show. Blake revealed the correct sequence of letters to solve the puzzle as "This is the best!" and he won $1,000 in the process.
After the right answer was given, Sajak congratulated Blake and asked Tavaris how he was doing.
"Yeah, that's it I think! Much better answer. How you doing Tavaris? You've already made an impression on us," Sajak said.
Tavaris apologized for giving his NSFW answer to the puzzle.
"I apologize, but I was a little excited," he said.
"We'll figure out a way to handle that tastefully. I have no idea what that'll be, but..." Sajak responded.
