There’s nothing worse than snagging a spot on America’s gameshow only to royally mess up the puzzle.
Sadly, that’s exactly what happened to one of the contestants on Wednesday’s episode of Wheel of Fortune.
The category was “Showbiz.” Much of the puzzle had already been filled out.
Tenaya just picked up a bonus $10,000 and decided to “try” and solve the puzzle.
The screen showed: “_URASSIC PARK _O_IES.”
Tenaya then guessed “Jurassic Park Bodies.”
The guess was valid, I guess, since a movie about dinosaurs attacking a theme park filled with people likely result in a lot of bodies, but unfortunately, the correct answer, which the next contestant nailed, was “Jurassic Park Movies.”
The truth is… sometimes we make things way more complicated than they need to be.
Obviously, Twitter had a field day with what many would call a bad guess.
Genuinely one of the funnier guesses in Wheel of Fortune history. #WheelOfFortune pic.twitter.com/ijIOGY1x3f

After the dinosaurs were set free there were lots of bodies found on the island so, no, fuck it, that was a stupid thing to say. #WheelOfFortune

“Jurassic Park Bodies” – even Sajak couldn’t keep from laughing. #WheelOfFortune

The female contestant lost over $10k because she guessed “Jurassic Park Bodies” (instead of “movies”) #WheelOfFortune pic.twitter.com/47uNnzah7i

With the other two contestants hitting “bankrupt” several times, Tenaya was also terrified of spinning the wheel.
At one point, Pat Sajak even asked her “why are you here?” in a joking way.
However, she redeemed herself by correctly guessing “Venus Flytrap” in the “Living Things” category.
And it wasn’t for nothing as she walked away with over $5,000 in the end.
Another high point of the episode, Brian with a bow tie just screaming his letters at Vanna White.
#WheelOfFortune funny af y is Brian yelling at vanna like that 😆😆

I love #WheelOfFortune but if they don’t tell Brian to stop yelling I’m turn it off…
