This move was “wheely” low.
“Wheel of Fortune” Host Pat Sajak has once more come under scrutiny after mocking a contestant’s high-pitched scream when she won $10,000 Friday throughout the game show, reports The Sun.
The Force was with Kimberly Laflamme midway through the “Star Wars”-themed show she began racking up lots of of dollars by guessing correct letters while attempting to resolve the “Escape room with a view” puzzle.
Luck smiled upon the Arizona resident on her third turn when the wheel landed on the coveted $10,000 marker.
Momentarily forgetting to have a look at the dollar amount, Laflamme asked Vanna White, 66, if there was an “M” within the puzzle which White obligingly turned over.
Sajak, 76, then reminded the girl that she should look down on the wheel.
“You have got $3,900 … almost $5,000, but again, [it] may very well be $10,000,” said Sajak pointedly.
It was then Laflamme set free a hair-raising shriek after realizing the quantity she had just won.
The sport show host, as a substitute of joining within the celebration of the large win, seemed to be caught off-guard by the noise.
“Wow, you don’t play a variety of poker, do you,” chided Sajak.
The Post reached out to Sajak for comment.
Sadly, Laflamme’s lucky break had a Death Star-level explosion after she went bankrupt on her next turn.
Despite not attending to the show’s bonus round, Laflamme went home with $4,500 after managing to get well after her bankruptcy.
The Arizona native will not be the primary competitor that Sajak has been rude or snide to.
Last week, the host slammed a contestant and her granddaughter after the pair didn’t guess the best answer 3 times
“Why are you bothering,” berated Sajak before asking other contestants to ring in with their answers.
Earlier this month, Sajak told a fan-favorite contestant “don’t ever do it again,” after the 22-year-old grabbed the envelope in the sport show’s bonus round.
Though Sajak did admit that he understood why the school student went for the envelope stating that in previous years, the competition would hand over the clue.
In several episodes, the aging host has displayed bizarre behavior corresponding to putting a contestant in a chokehold; claiming he hides in letter-turner Vanna White’s garden; asked a contestant to remove his shirt and tugged on a contestant’s beard.
