'Wheel of Fortune' contestant will never live down this epic flub


 

Boy, are we glad our epic fails aren't captured on television.

On Tuesday's episode of Wheel of Fortune, one contestant's victory was close enough to taste. He had just one letter remaining in the puzzle that was the title of Tennessee Williams' Pulitzer Prize-winning play, A Streetcar Named Desire. He was only missing an "M."

The problem is "NA_ED" also looks like it could be "naked," at least to this contestant. So, he guessed a "K."

Nope, Twitter couldn't believe it either.

As viewers are quite aware, this isn't the first Wheel of Fortune fail, and it certainly won't be the last.

This contestant was not only incorrect when she attempted to solve the puzzle, she also read one of the deciphered words on the board wrong.

In another heartbreaking moment from the game show, a player lost the round because he mispronounced "Achilles," a hero in Greek mythology. Take a look.

Could this be the worst 'Wheel of Fortune' player ever?
An Indiana University honors student had the letters there, all he needed to do was read the words correctly. His failure to pronounce the name "Achilles" cost him a shot at winning a million dollars.
