Watch the video. Do you think the ruling was fair?

That was obvious discrimination against rednecks and/or southerners.

That was worse than Superbowl XL!

Bullshit. No wonder you you never see brutha's on the wheel...

Lady should have walked off the set in protest.

I was thinking it was semen stuns a - and then I was trying to figure out the last word..

No way I keep my composure in that situation.

The shit I would have done would have went VIRAL.

Yeah......I would've flipped out.

its not swimmin' like she said. Its swimming. You have to pronounce it correctly I think.

She didn't even sajak about it either, just stood there nodding like an idiot.

Oh... cmon. That's stupid as shit.


And yeah, she should be pissed.

I wish they would have shown her face while the other woman was guessing LMAO

I sajak all the time ;-)

Yep, nothing but a vanna white contestants dropped off daily.

Hah, yeah she got screwed.

So they can use "A"swimming but not swimmin? WTF!

Thats bullshit.

Learn proper English. If you're going to make the Mexicans do it then why not this lady?

She seemed to take it in stride.

All I know is that if I'm on a show that is all about words then I'm sure going to pronounce them correctly.

She'll survive.

I'm not sayin' I'm just sayin' that that is what they were being technical about and the contestants should know Wheel of Fortunes rules/judgement of pronunciation when they solve the puzzle. Just sayin' but I'm not sayin' nahmen!?!

I've seen where they have counted off for mis prounouncing ask as axe or something similar. It is in the rulebook NO JIVE>

Tool shed
 

Hey Tool Shed,

It's called got damned English, you should try it. You probably scrape your feet when you walk too, don't you, Maggot? Pick up your Got Damned feet when you walk BOY!

Did you find this video on twitter too ace?

Definitely unfair. What if the contestant had a speech impediment?

Wheel Of Fortune is clearly discriminating against peeps with lisps.

FAX

Using "got" in place of God would have caused you to miss a question on Wheel of Fortune.

I highly suggest you hide this.

She should have handed Pat the mic and said "well Pat you go defend the country while I practice my speech and study the rules of this show." Joking aside, in situations like this I have a hard time getting on shows ect. assuming they make clear what the rules are before the show.

Dear English Professor,

IIRC you live in Alabama, and the last time I took somebody in Alabama's advice; I got my sister pregnant.

Have I got your attention, champ?

Good, now listen close: I'm not playing Wheel Of Forture.

Good gravy ice cold, did you graduate from Devry, did you scam the Radio Shack battery club also, playboy?

what is happening

Peyton Manning
 

Dear Brat,

You need to gather and collect your thoughts, assemble them. Peyton Manning never considered us. You stupid bastard, Roy had it right PHM.

Peyton + Hunt + Monday

You bought into that mess, Stud - Now rest in your stinch, ROy was C3PO and you were and ewok, Luke Skywalker, hand solo.

Didn't you win an award around these parts a few years back?

Well, grammar Nazis, should all songs and poems relentlessly follow Modern Midland American English pronunciation rules as well? Because she was drawing on a lyrical pronunciation.

Sajak's being an ass.

pat is always a dick to fat chicks. not suprising.

CP Internet tough guys.

I'm down here at the stadium again, drinking Ice Tea and grilling out for Sunday's game. If you want to step up to the dance and rock and roll, I'll be the one wearing the bad assed black leather coat, I will have my george forman grill pluggen in, pals!

LET"S ROCK CLOWNS!

What happens in music and what happens in a game where rules are two different things. I am sure this has happened before and if they let it go now how do they explain that to the people they have been hard on in the past. There is a line where a person really didn't say the right thing. The producers are just trying to stay out of the grey area. It sucks and I feel for the woman, but comparing it to the rules of songs just isn't a very good analogy imho.

Peyton Manning

So Manning never considered us yet Roy was right about the Monday prediction? Also, I think "hand solo" is a bit redundant.

The reason the music analogy is good is because it is, in fact, a lyric from a song.

In most cases I would agree with you. Learn to pronounce the words right or gtfo. Because of the musical nature of this case I sympathize for her.

Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiive golden tooooks.

Eleven Chiefs a laying

toques*

eh, whatever. Got everyone thinking of the song though.:D

I feel bad for her, but in this situation I would have already been paranoid about not saying a word right. I certainly wouldn't have just said the answer with thousands on the line like I was sitting in my living room with family. I still contest that the music analogy isn't correct. While both are lyrics, both are also contained in two completely different arenas. One where its interpretive and another that has a strict set of rules. In the end though this isn't something that's worth arguing about, especially considering that I don't think we really strongly disagree about anything here to warrant it.

She should've pronounced it correctly, but that's still bullshit. This is 'Murica!

"sorry, did you say seven swans uh swimming?"

"made a thread about it -- like to read it -- here it go"

Pal
 

Pal,

I don't want to read anything you've produced. I tried you latest book 'how to start a grease fire'

And well Champ; it didn't do anything but waste my time. No wait for Christmas to get here; then go get a radio, get in the bath tub, go headd and plug it in and drop it in the tub GOON!

I'd say she was robbed if only because she had just called the "G". Also, I don't think it was Sajak, I'm pretty sure there is at least one judge off-camera.

That would actually be kind of funny.

"I'm weally newvous about this, but Pat, I'm weady to solve the puzzow."

"Oh, god. Here comes a lawsuit."

The Mexicans DON'T do it.

"Feliz Navidad"

"I'm sorry. That is incorrect."
