Wheel of Fortune mistake: Contestant Angela Evans ripped on Twitter after supposed error
The long-running television game show Wheel of Fortune has always been a target for fans calling out mistakes. This happened last night with contestant Angela Evans.
Most of the “mistakes” that people highlight are due to accents and linguistic differences based on what part of the country a person is from.
On last night’s episode, the mistake was telling the difference between a “B” and a “D.”
Angela Evans “mistake”
Whether or not Wheel of Fortune made a mistake with contestant Angela Evans is determined by what different viewers heard when she asked for her letter.
This was Veteran Week on Wheel of Fortune but fans at home, and specifically those that love to call out mistakes on Twitter, didn’t give these veterans a break.

When Angela was trying to solve a puzzle, she asked for the letter “D” and when Pat Sajak gave it to her, she solved the puzzle: “DRINKING FROM A COCONUT.”
However, a lot of people at home believe she asked for a “B” and not a “D” and accused Wheel of Fortune of making a mistake.

Then, it happened again.
When Angela was in the bonus round, she gave her three consonants and a vowel as “B, H, D, A.” Pat made sure she said “D” but at home, fans claimed she said “B, H, B, A.”

While it makes no sense that she would say the “B” twice, because some fans heard it they assumed Wheel of Fortune made a mistake to help Angela, even though there was no B or D in the final puzzle.
Past mistakes on Wheel of Fortune
In 2012, there was a huge Wheel of Fortune error that cost contestant Renee Durette almost $4,000.
She spoke the word in “vernacular” so it was ruled illegal since it has to be spoken “exact.”
She said “SEVEN SWANS A-SWIMMIN’”, but she lost because it should have been “Swimming.”
Wheel of Fortune said at the time that they had to “protect against regional dialects.”
