A contestant on Monday night’s episode of Wheel of Fortune made an error so shocking it prompted one audience member to shout out what everyone was thinking: “What!?” With all but one letter on the board, it looked like Khushi, a Grade 10 student competing during the game show’s “Teen Week” special, was set to win a trip to Antigua and US$650.

Khushi acted quickly, but not carefully. She spun the wheel, which landed on the $650 prize marker, and gave her answer. “I’ll go with a G,” Khushi said, visibly hesitant.
In response, the audience groaned in disbelief behind her. Another contestant, Juliana, stole the win and answered correctly: “Fresh tropical fruit.” On social media, folks echoed the audience’s shock.
