The first half of this article’s title could really work every week. Sadly, when people participate in game shows, they’re almost more likely to become famous for screwing up than doing well. That was the case on Wheel of Fortune recently.
The topic was occupation and it was one of those rounds where the board pops up letters every couple seconds and the first contestant to hit the button and guess correctly wins.
Let’s just say the contestant who guessed wrong to begin with might have been thinking about pregnancy.

First off, props to the contestant for knowing vaguely how to spell gynecologist.
Anyway, that wasn’t necessarily a bad guess either. When she made her guess, the board appears as: “_R___SSION_L G_N_ALO_IST.” So not terribly off.
Maybe the best part of the clip is Pat Sajak’s response.
“I knew that was coming, no!” Sajak said.
This wasn’t the first big contestant funny screw-up in the game show’s history, and it won’t be the last either.
Oh, and this isn’t the first time we’ve written about crazy game show mishaps, and it won’t be the last time either.
