Friday night’s Wheel of Fortune left fans scratching their heads—not just over a tricky puzzle, but also a Bonus Round loss that many thought was a no-brainer.
Contestants Face Off in a Tight Game
On March 28, three players took the stage: Stephen Sporer from St. Paul, Minnesota, Christina White from Long Beach, California, and Megan Russell from Sylvester, West Virginia.
Sporer and Russell kicked off the night by solving the first two toss-ups, each securing $1,000. However, the opening puzzle saw all three contestants hit the dreaded Bankrupt, keeping things even. Russell eventually solved the puzzle, earning $3,500.
Then came the second puzzle—a moment that left viewers puzzled.

With the category set as “Event,” White solved the puzzle: “Seeing the green flash.” But rather than cheers, it sparked confusion among viewers unfamiliar with the phrase.
