'Wheel of Fortune' viewers made it their mission to get contestant Charlene that car and Audi has done just that.
PHILADELPHIA -- For one month, Twitter users have called on Audi to"#GiveHerTheQ3" and the car company has done just that.
"Wheel of Fortune" viewers made it their mission to get contestant Charlene that car after she missed out on the bonus round prize due to a technicality. On the Tuesday, Dec. 21, 2021 episode of"Wheel," Charlene was winning big - $16,500 and a vacation - and made it to the final round of the long-running game show.The answer to the puzzle was, ironically,"Choosing the right word."Charlene did say all the correct words before time expired, but because she took too long a pause between the words"right" and"word," she was not rewarded with the Audi Q3 prize.
Host Pat Sajak explained that the words have to be said continuously and not with a long pause in between. "Whenever there is a close thing like that, a rule, a technicality if you will, one of the rules, for example adding an 'and' during the crossword round, people say 'just give it to them.' But there's a reason you have rules and you can't start bending, that gets into dangerous territory, but she did great," Sajak said at the end of the show.
