‘Wheel of Fortune’ Contestant Turns Heads After…
Contestant Spotlight
On the June 4 episode of Wheel of Fortune, Maki Asrat from Brooklyn stood out with her “energy” and charm. She quickly solved the first two puzzles and shared emotional moments that host Ryan Seacrest related to.
Big Wins and Bold Moves
Asrat made bold moves, flipping the Mystery Wedge to win $10,000 after solving “Egg on Your Face Lift,” raising her total to $23,900. She also won a trip to Cabo by correctly solving “Somebody’s Watching Me,” though she “nearly said it wrong.”
Competition Highlights
Other contestants included Jessica Beasley, who won a trip to Hawaii by solving the Prize Puzzle, and Anthony Monroe, a retired Marine, who got on the board with “Dollar Signs.” Still, Asrat led with $33,900 and advanced to the Bonus Round.
Funny Bonus Round Moment
The final puzzle was “What Are You Doing?” with the board reading “C_ _SING _N _ R _R.” Asrat guessed “Cursing in… Cursing…” but missed the answer: “Causing an Uproar.” Seacrest laughed, saying, “It’s like you’re desperate to say a bad word here.” Though she missed the $40,000 prize, Asrat left with nearly $34,000 and “one of the night’s most memorable moments.”
