Rigged Game Shows Dept.


Wheel Of Fortune's #1 Dumbass - Watch more free videos

This came to the attention of our Game Show Department, and may show the losingest loser of all losers, losing.

Can anyone verify if this is for real or a sham? Pat Sajak won't return our phone calls, possibly because we are objective journalists and not party to his cruel designs. Why is Pat Sajak determined to humiliate this man, Kevin, who cannot apparently think?

Unfortunately, this is absolutely real. We watched it during Chicago Week, and this guy is from around here. For the record, we guessed "Butterscotch Candies" too...but we cringed over the "elevator train" and "dangling". Poor guy!!

I was watching this episode several weeks ago as I was at the gym on the treadmill. I was wondering how someone could screw up that badly TWICE!! Look at the letters that are already up there, and look at the spelling!!

It's real. I saw the show. Pretty bad. At least he won $4,000. Not bad for making yourself out to be a doofus on big-time TV.

Yes, this is real, I saw this episode a couple weeks ago. It was filmed in Chicago and all the contestants were local. I could not believe that guy got all of those answers wrong...I would not be surprised if he did it on purpose, but what would be the point of that, unless it was a dare or something. I seem to remember he was married with adult kids, so that doesn't really seem like something you'd expect.

Yes it's real. I saw it air on ABC7.

I was actually a contestant that week so I spent all day with the gentleman. It was just nerves but he was not down right after the taping - he had the time of his life! I guess he just wasn't thinking straight. He was a very nice man, otherwise...just maybe not the best contestant.
