Tonight the final Wheel puzzle was “Person”
The answer was Spunky Hero.
The people didn’t get it right and when they revealed the answer all you could hear was crickets as the audience, Pat and the contestants sat silently with a look of" are you fucking kidding me?? " on their faces.
Dumbest puzzle ever.
Is that a character or something?
aka Worst. Sandwich. Ever.
I find that its the extra “mayonnaise” that leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
Yeah, is that supposed to be someone known or famous or something? Because I never heard of it/him/her.
I think it’s an archetype.
Which is silly, anyway. Everyone knows that it’s the sidekick who’s spunky, not the hero. The closest a hero can get is plucky.
Has Wheel of Fortune repeated a puzzle, ever? I remember watching the show in its early days, and it seemed like the puzzles got gradually more obscure; like they didn’t want to repeat an answer and all the common phrases were getting used up. That was decades ago. If they won’t repeat, no wonder they’re scraping the bottom of the barrel by now.
That’s pretty stupid all right. If pressed, I’d have guessed Spanky Hero – at least Spanky was one of the heroes of the old Our Gang show.
I think the writers are all senile by now, so give them a break.
I just happened to have that channel on at the right time and saw the answer… and was like wtf is that. 
Tonight’s wasn’t much better – YOUNG PRODIGY.
I’d never seen or heard that combination, although “child prodigy” is common enough, as is wunderkind.
They really need a new category, “random words strung together.” It would make more sense.
