Wheel of Fortune has seen its fair share of interesting and unique characters throughout its 39 seasons, but the latest contestant had Twitter divided.
Tuesday, January 11ths episode of Wheel welcomed a very energized character named Heidi.
While some people on Twitter were really vibing with her energy, others made it clear that she was entirely too much.
“Yo this lady has to calm down just a bit,” one user tweeted.

Others were impressed with Heidi, adding: “Heidi’s reaction was THE BEST,” with another noting: “I need Heidi’s energy. Loved it.”
But most people were just over it.
“Get Heidi off my screen, please,” one fan wrote.
Some fans couldn’t help but chuckle at how host Pat Sajak seemed to poke fun of Heidi’s excitement about winning, before just walking in the complete opposite direction.
Yet another commented: “Bahahahahhahahaha Pat Sajak killing me with the walk off like good riddance”
Another user even took issue with a second contestant named Damon, who wanted to solve the puzzle but seemed a bit miffed when he missed his opportunity.
But others thought his expression was absolutely hilarious: “Damon had me cackling with his reaction to knowing the answer and it not being his turn.”
No one was spared from Twitter’s wrath as the third contestant offered up the answer “lite-breaking news” instead of “late-breaking news,” and people couldn’t handle the flub.

And all three contestants were called out for not knowing the song lyric to Elton John’s “Tiny Dancer.”
I’m sorry, was she confused by an ELTON JOHN SONG?! #WheelOfFortune

These #WheelOfFortune contestants are a disgrace. They have no clue who Elton John is?

However, Heidi seemed to get the last laugh as she took home upwards of $50,000!
All in all, one user summarized it as the “worst episode of Wheel of Fortune.”
Would you agree?
After that episode I wish I was dead. #WheelOfFortune
