'Wheel of Fortune' fans slam game show mistake that left viewers confused

A "Wheel of Fortune" game show gaffe left fans perplexed after Wednesday night’s episode.

A contestant named Carla racked up a total of $6,750 while spinning the wheel, however the scoreboard appeared to be set to $0 the next time she appeared on screen.

Fans were quick to notice how her accumulated total surprisingly "vanished" during her next turn. 

In the middle of the game, Carla spun the wheel and landed on $3,500, nearly landing on the bankrupt wedge.

After she guessed the letter "R," longtime host Pat Sajak announced there were two "R’s" in the puzzle for a total of $7,000.

Once she bought a vowel, the letter "A," for $250, she should have had a total of $6,750. As Carla was one step closer to revealing more letters on the puzzle board, her scoreboard suddenly showed only $3,000.

Carla, guessed the letter "D" incorrectly, and Sajak went to the next contestant to continue the game.

However, when it was Carla’s turn again, she landed on a $700 wedge and guessed the letter "G," which appeared on the puzzle board.

"Well, you got some money back," Sajak quipped.

"Wheel of Fortune" fans were quick to notice Sajak’s comments and suggested there was an editing mistake during the episode. 

After Carla guessed the letter "M" correctly for $1,000, she went into an "express round" and eventually solved the puzzle correctly. 

The camera cut back to the contestant’s score and instead of her added-up wins, she only had $1,450 on the scoreboard.

Several viewers were confused by Carla’s total and dissected her score throughout the game. 

On the most recent "Wheel of Fortune" video on Instagram, a fan pointed out the mishap in the comments.

"I don’t understand tonight’s show. The gal on the end had $6,750, spun and asked for a "d" which wasn’t in the puzzle. So she should have still had the $6,750…"

Another fan wrote, "I am so glad you said something. I caught that last night too."

"What happened tonight with the woman-in-yellow's money?" one viewer questioned on Twitter.

"Now that you mentioned it, something seemed off to me as well. It’s like they deliberately rigged the score to push him through…" one user speculated. 

Other viewers also called out the mistake. 

"Woman named Carla solved ‘A Warm Evening Breeze.’ On her 1st letter she spun $3500 & got 2 R’s for 7k & bought a vowel. She missed a letter. Then it came back to her. She got $1k express & solved but her $6,750 vanished."

"They edited out the blue player losing $6750 to Bankrupt. They shouldn't have," a fan claimed.

This isn’t the first time fans or contestants called out "Wheel of Fortune" for mistakes. 

In January, a "Wheel of Fortune" contestant won over the internet after calling out Sajak.

Ben Tucker had an awkward moment with the host while attempting to solve a puzzle during the bonus round.

"Taunt a chuck guy? Chance guy … no, there’s no C. Wacky guy. Taunt a wacky guy," Tucker guessed for the Fun & Games category.

Once the buzzer sounded and co-host Vanna White revealed that the letters spelled out "Taking a quick jog," the 76-year-old host teased the contestant.

"Wow, that was so unclose. You just didn’t have the letters," he said.

The California resident fired back, "See, I don’t consider jogging fun and games," as he rolled his eyes and threw up his arms.

Tucker ended up winning $18,000 for his time on the game show, and fans were quick to agree with his argument.

Kirk Cameron rejects drag queen story time, is instead speaking about faith, family at Arkansas library

Actor-writer Kirk Cameron is taking his next story hour book reading to Arkansas this week — all part of his cross-country effort to speak to families and children across America at various public library book events and to discuss his pro-faith, pro-family and pro-country beliefs. 

On Friday, he'll be appearing in Fayetteville, Arkansas, at the public library there, Fox News Digital has learned from Cameron's book publisher, Brave Books. The event will take place from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Fox News Digital reached out to the Fayetteville Public Library, which confirmed Thursday that the event — a "private event," a library official said — will take place at the library on Friday. 

The Cameron book event will occur just one day before New York Attorney General Letitia James is scheduled to hold a "drag queen story hour" event in New York City, as Fox News Digital previously reported.

A flyer for this "drag story hour" held by James said, "Families with children are invited to join Attorney General James, drag storytellers and city and state elected leaders." In a caption for an Instagram post, James declared, "My office is proud to host a drag story hour read-a-thon on Sunday." 

Kirk Cameron, in comments shared with Fox News Digital, said on this point, "In the Garden of Eden, God used a piece of fruit to expose man’s willingness to betray God and harm the family. In the Big Apple this weekend, God is using the attorney general."

Trent Talbot, CEO of Brave Books, based in Texas, told Fox News Digital in an email, "It’s clear our society has reached a new low with one of the most powerful public officials in New York participating in a ‘drag queen story hour’ for kids."

He added, "So what do we do about it? I believe the best way to fight back against these sick and deranged events is to offer a better alternative with wholesome and uplifting events that have more appealing messaging and visuals."

He said as well, "This is what you will see Friday in Fayetteville."

Also on Friday, Laura Perry Smalts will be joining Kirk Cameron at the library in Fayetteville, Fox News Digital is told, "to participate in the story hour."

She plans to read the children's book "Elephants Are Not Birds," which teaches kids about the biblical view of gender. 

"I am supporting Kirk Cameron’s work in the Freedom Island Tour because children deserve to be taught good, wholesome, truth-based books from someone who is safe and trustworthy, not an adult entertainer," Smalts said in comments shared with Fox News Digital. 

"I believe children should be taught that who they are created to be is good — and should not be indoctrinated by ideology they are not old enough to comprehend."

Smalts — who was born female — spent nearly nine years living as a transgendered individual. She took the name "Jake" during that period of time. 

She writes on her website, "I am a former transgender, having lived it for almost nine years. I underwent years of cross-sex hormone therapy, two major ‘gender-affirming’ surgeries, and all of the legal changes."

She ultimately rejected that and detransitioned — and is today happily married to her husband, Perry.

She writes that God "has healed me and brought forgiveness and wholeness to my heart. He has revealed His heart for women and how wonderful His creation of the woman is and how beautiful it is."

She said in further comments shared with Fox News Digital, "I am participating in the library reading in Fayetteville because I want kids (and parents) to hear the truth about transgender identities from someone who has gone through it. I want to warn parents that it is dangerous to allow children to ‘transition.’"

She added, "Most parents are uninformed about the realities of medical transition and the dangerous path their child is being enticed to go down. I want to help kids see that they don’t have to compare themselves to others — but that they can embrace and love who they are created to be."

She said she "loves" the book "Elephants Are Not Birds." 

She said she is choosing to read it to those who gather at the library event "because it illustrates to children the simple reality that they cannot be someone other than who they were created to be."

Said Smalts, "The book also shows that even though the elephant, Kevin, wanted to be like the birds, the town needed him to be an elephant, and he became a hero. I think this book has an excellent message for children."

A Brave Books spokesperson told Fox News Digital that "the library staff" in Fayetteville have "been phenomenal" to work with and "we are excited about this story hour. We believe the turnout is going to be incredible."

A musician outside the library will lead those assembled in patriotic songs before the book event, the publisher said.
