‘Wheel Of Fortune’ Fans Shocked After Surprising String Of Bankruptcies

TV Shows

Wheel Of Fortune is full of surprises, as no two episodes are ever exactly the same. Based on recent scenes from the popular game show, fans drew attention to an unexpectedly large number of bankruptcies. So, what happened in recent scenes, and what did viewers have to say about it?

Wheel Of Fortune Fans Show Up Hoping To Win Big Money

Whenever a new batch of contestants makes it onto the Wheel Of Fortune set, they each have big dreams of winning big money and exotic trips. Everyone who shows up has as good a chance as anyone else. However, this is where good and bad luck can also come into play.

A series of lucky spins and good letter guesses can mean the difference between coming in first with all the money and prizes or coming in dead last, with just the game show experience to brag about. On the other side of that coin, unlucky spins can very easily take someone from first to last in the blink of an eye. So, there are a lot of aspects to consider.

Fans Call Out Record Number Of Bankruptcies?

There was a lively discussion among Wheel Of Fortune fans recently, as fans brought attention to an insane amount of bankruptcies landed on during gameplay. However, it was not just the fact that there were four bankruptcies landed on, but that there were four in a row. If that were not enough, four in a row happened twice in the same episode recently.

The odds of landing on this four times in a row are rather astronomical, and yet, that was the case in recent Wheel Of Fortune scenes. If that were not enough, this happening twice in the same episode is even crazier. Also, it was enough of an anomaly that people started talking about it, as well as the fact that four in a row appears to be the current record for bankruptcies.

Wheel Of Fortune Fans React To Record-Setting Bankruptcies

  • As this was a recent topic among Wheel Of Fortune fans, people had a lot to say about it. One commenter said: “Just saw FOUR bankruptcies in a row! Is that the most there’s ever been? Just happened in the first puzzle tonight. ANOTHER 4 IN A ROW JUST HAPPENED!?!?!! IT HAPPENED TWICE IN THE FIRST HALF OF THE SHOW!!”
  • A second commenter chimed in, adding: “Correction: I was mistaken. The record for consecutive Bankrupts is actually four, so this tied it. Although one time, Lose a Turn was hit immediately before and after the four Bankrupts, making six total penalty wedges in a row.”
