Wheel of Fortune contestant's fail goes viral
EW ^ | March 21, 2017

A Wheel of Fortune contestant had a very different idea about the plot of Tennessee Williams’ play A Streetcar Named Desire — and he paid for it.

During Tuesday’s episode of the syndicated game show, Kevin was only one letter away from getting the correct answer. With ” A STREETCAR NA_ED DESIRE” on the board, he made a crushing and dirty mistake, guessing K, which would have made for quite the adaptation.

The next contestant, Lisa quickly swooped in for the victory, even though host Pat Sajak seemed partial to Kevin’s response. “And although you got the right answer, I’d rather see Kevin’s play,” he joked.

My wife and I saw that last night and had a good laugh. His next screwup was almost as good.

Screwing up two puzzles needing to guess only a single letter must be some kind of record.

Yeah I saw it too. If he got those he would’ve kicked butt on the show so it cost him thousands plus a trip or two.

There’s a funny meme out there showing Trump failing to solve the Wheel of Fortune phrase. Really funny.

Sticky wicket.

A sticky wicket, is a metaphor used to describe a difficult circumstance. It originated as a term for difficult circumstances in the sport of cricket, caused by a damp and soft pitch.

If you listen closely, you can hear good ol’ Kevin answer the puzzle in ‘that, like, uh, it’s like’ feminized millennial hormone lacking voice.

Such an example of a ‘Richard’!

I would NOT want to be Kevin at his place of employment today.

But, I wonder, if the contestant had been female, even a black female, and had given the same answers to the same puzzles, would she have been lampooned in the same way on social media? or defended?

One had to be willing to suffer fools to watch that episode.

It was painful.
