One Wheel of Fortune contestant got a little ahead of himself on Monday’s (May 27) Memorial Day episode as he prematurely celebrated an incorrect answer. The contestant in question was Rufus Cumberlander from Ewa Beach, Hawaii, who first appeared on the show back on February 17, 2015. This week is Fan Favorites Week, which sees former contestants returning for a second shot at spinning the wheel. Cumberlander faced off against Cynthia King from Warren, Michigan, who first appeared on the show on February 28, 2024, and Luidgi Altidor from Brooklyn, New York, who appeared on the show back on January 8, 2020. While King and Altidor dominated most of the episode, Cumberlander had a chance at a comeback late in the game during the Triple Tossup. Cumberlander was faced with the “Phrase” category and puzzle board that read, “_ _ N ’ _ / L _ O K / A W _ _.” He confidently answered, “Don’t Look Away,” and began celebrating. Not only did Cumberlander celebrate,...

Wheel Of Fortune Prepares For Pat Sajak’s Departure
Both Vanna White and Pat Sajak have been partners in crime for more than four decades. Sadly, Wheel Of Fortune‘s long-time legend will be leaving the show in less than two weeks. Undoubtedly, as his exit nears, Vanna is getting reminiscent of memories from over the years. Although the time is ticking away with Pat in the driver’s seat, Ryan Seacrest is primed and ready to take over. Together the duo has been on 8,000 shows through the years.

Wheel of Fortune is taking a page from its quiz show cousin Jeopardy! in inviting back former players for another chance to spin the wheel, but not everybody is happy about it. Many fans think it’s unfair that the show is allowing people to compete twice when hopeful viewers often take many years to appear on ‘Wheel’ and a large number never achieve their dream. On Monday, May 27, the long-running game show kicked off its Fan Favorite week, which sees past contestants return for a shot at redemption or, in some cases, for repeated glory.

As she explained to host Pat Sajak at the start of Monday’s episode, she hosted 75 friends and family for a watch party of...
