Wheel of Fortune’ Contestant Loses Chance at Car After..
1. A Tense Game Night
A dramatic Wheel of Fortune episode ended with Michael Soltis
losing a Bonus Round that would have won him a Jeep.
Earlier, he trailed while Eimi Smith solved puzzles like
“Accidentally on Purpose” and “Sleeping Bag of Tricks.”
2. Soltis Rallies
Momentum turned when Soltis solved
“Can You Feel the Love Tonight?”
for a trip to Africa and later the puzzle
“The Wild Wild West.”
Ryan Seacrest told him,
“You got that one quickly.”
Soltis entered the Bonus Round with $20,240.
3. Bonus Round Pressure
Nerves showed when Soltis described his dog as
“half-weiner, half-beagle,” prompting Seacrest to joke,
“Have you met him?” Given the category
“Places,” Soltis guessed “My Old Plants” and
“My Old Points,” but missed the answer “My Old Haunts.”
4. Viewer Reactions
Fans called the puzzle tough, with one saying,
“That one was brutal.” Another added,
“Never heard that phrase before.”
