Ryan Seacrest embodied the spirit of former Wheel Of Fortune host Pat Sajak as he got snippy with two players during their bonus puzzle. Best friends of 23 years Kelli Mullen and Emma Paulson from Minnesota who met in the sixth grade appeared on the show on Tuesday October 29 for the Girlfriend Getaways special episode which saw contestants compete as teams. The pair made it all the way to the bonus round with $19,530 in cash and a prize trip to Barbados, but Ryan wasn't happy.
Wheel of Fortune player ironically loses $50,000 with easy bonus puzzle Wheel of Fortune fans accuse show of 'cutting expenses' with 'cheap' prizes They were given a two-word puzzle after selecting “What Are You Doing?” as Ryan asked them to give four additional letters. With the players allowed to consult one another Kelli and Emma were a little indecisive, taking their time to pick each letter, which appeared to irritate the host. Whispering for a few seconds between each letter they chose a “C,” then whispered “Which one?” before picking a “D”.
Off-screen Ryan was then heard whispering back “I can hear you.” The two friends laughed before he added a stern: “Hurry.” The girls then chose an “F” before whispering “A” to each other, which he jumped on to make it their last letter saying “A," and adding “I heard you.
” Vanna White then added their letters to the puzzle which read: “A_ _ L _ _ N_’ ‘_ _ SELF.” As the 10-second timer began Kelli and Emma struggle.
