Wheel of Fortune’s Bad Luck “Curse” Shocks Even Host Ryan Seacrest

Wheel of Fortune's Bad Luck "Curse" Shocks Even Host Ryan Seacrest

As a dedicated follower of Wheel of Fortune, I must confess that the latest episode has left me utterly bewildered and slightly amused. The string of bad luck experienced by Melissa Brickey, Brent Lau, and Tanijah Johnson was truly a sight to behold – it’s as if the wheel had taken on a life of its own, turning into the Wheel of Misfortune!


Time to officially rename it the Wheel of Misfortune. 

On the September 18th episode of Wheel of Fortune, three contestants – Melissa Brickey, Brent Lau, and Tanijah Johnson – discovered firsthand the harsh lessons that bad luck can teach. Even seasoned host Ryan Seacrest and long-time star Vanna White were taken aback by the string of misfortunes these competitors faced.

In the given episode, three competitors found themselves landing on “bankrupt” in a row during the Crossword Round.

Ryan playfully suggested, “Shall we chat with this wheel?” before posing his query, “What’s your game with us?

And it only got worse when Brent’s next spin landed on “lose a turn,” prompting Ryan to ask the group, “Who did something bad before they got here?”

In the subsequent turn, Tanijah managed to deduce a letter, but she was swiftly declared bankrupt just like Melissa. (or) Tanijah successfully guessed a letter in her next go, only to be declared bankrupt alongside Melissa immediately thereafter.

Due to these unusual circumstances, the newly appointed host, Ryan, jokingly remarked, “I’ve never witnessed anything like this before since it’s my first time here.

In a turn of events, the 49-year-old encouraged Brent to try again, hoping to lift the jinx, but alas, Brent ended up losing another turn once more.

In a state of shock, the host of American Idol found it hard to contain himself and exclaimed to his co-host, “Vanna, what in the world is happening here?

After another round of financial difficulties, both Ryan and Tanijah leaned wearily against the steering wheel, expressing their frustration.

Fortunately, Melissa’s next spin proved crucial as it landed on $600, eventually providing the trio with the solution to the “Facial Features” puzzle: Eyelashes, pupils, cheeks, and lips. In the end, Melissa emerged victorious in that episode, amassing a total of $60,050.

Even though he’s new to this particular “Wheel of Fortune” game, Ryan has ventured into unfamiliar “Wheel” territories before.

In the September 16th episode, contestant Vivian Tran found herself on the one million dollar segment of the wheel and ultimately opened the million-dollar envelope during the bonus round, scoring a massive prize.

“My heart is racing,” Ryan said. “This is a first for me. You’re playing for $1 million.”

Despite being unable to crack the puzzle, Vivian ended up with a consolation of $27,300 and a European vacation instead, forfeiting the chance at a million.

Despite being relatively fresh to the role as host of the famous game show, Ryan has managed to make a significant impact on Vanna.

She recently told TopMob News, “He’s performing exceptionally well” or “She expressed that he’s doing a fantastic job.” She added, “It’s quite challenging, but he manages to make it seem effortless.

From the very beginning, she was confident that he would excel, expressing, “He’s incredibly gifted, he’s extremely proficient, and he’s simply superb at his work. I can’t help but feel grateful.

In the spirit of my undying admiration for the legendary game show, “Wheel of Fortune,” I can’t help but echo Ryan’s jest: Refusing an invitation to spin the wheel feels like courting bad luck that’ll haunt your TV existence forever!
