Contestant's 'Wheel of Fortune' Gaffe Goes Viral

Gaelyn Nease, a contestant on 'Wheel of Fortune,' became a viral sensation after incorrectly guessing 'New York Cheesesteak' instead of the correct answer, 'New York Cheesecake,' during the December 30 episode. Her blunder occurred in the Food & Drink category, and despite having the puzzle almost solved, she confidently opted for the wrong dish, resulting in her loss of the game. Viewers quickly took to social media to mock her mistake, with many labeling it one of the worst guesses in the show's history. Contestant Carmetta Wells, who correctly answered the puzzle, won $68,250 and a trip to New York City. While some viewers had fun at Nease's expense, others defended her, citing the pressure of live game shows as a significant factor in such errors. This incident adds to a growing list of memorable 'missolves' on the show, which continue to entertain audiences.
