Take it from someone who knows, losing on Wheel of Fortune is never easy. Sure, some may claim the game show is a glorified, glittery version of Hangman, but there are, indeed, specific strategies to make it or break it. You blow your dough on vowels just to win a prize; you choose an unusually-placed consonant to throw off the competition; you throw Vanna a wink in the hope that she'll turn that one extra letter.On the other hand, stupid mistakes are just stupid mistakes. And plenty of stupid mistakes have been made on Wheel of Fortune, gaffes that make even the worst spellers in the world sit back and be like, I'd like to buy an O-M-G. Watch some of our favorites Wheel of Fortune fails.

From what I can tell, it's not "always" any one group. In fact, the woman who blew the most from these clips was white and her puzzle was solved by a "sister". And, the reason this is up today is because another white woman blew a puzzle on the show tonight.
It doesn't matter to me what race they are, I feel sorry for anyone losing that much knowing that the show will just hold onto it. I just want to point out that your bigotry has made you blind to most of the clips you just watched. Idiot.

Um, I think he may have meant "brothers and sisters" literally. As in two children from the same parent. Or maybe I just don't spend enough time in the ghetto.

The only thing worse than bigotry is someone who looks to use his or her status as a target of bigotry as an excuse.

I remember back in the day (late 1990s when I used to watch the show) there was one old woman who solved the puzzle incorrectly three times in one show. The third time she solved it wrong the puzzle was Casper, Wyoming, and she said "Japser, Wyoming" (confusing it with the Canadian National Park).
Another one happened with some woman who had earned a lot of money that round and solved the puzzle incorrectly by saying "Gingerbread Home" instead of Gingerbread House.

I'll never forget a show from the 90's I caught and it was a "Before & After". This man was so excited to solve... "S_R__P COCKTA_L LOUNGE". Poor guy belt out "SYRUP Cocktail Lounge!!! WooHoo!!!".

I was on in 1980,(before Sajak) and missed a puzzle because I'd never heard the term...it was "gum up the works." I wish I had it on tape! I did win stuff though, not money like they do now.

I quit watching that show years and years ago. Pat and Vanna just got on my nerves.

Take it from someone who has been up there...recently! It's A LOT harder than it looks when you have the cameras, lights, live audience and all the pressure there. It sure is easy to solve a puzzle while sitting on your comfy couch and when it's always your turn. It's a completely different story on the other side of the TV.

It is a lot harder than people realize. There's so much going on around you, and in my case, I had to be at the studio at 7:30am and my show didnt' tape until after 3pm. By then, after a couple of nights with very little sleep, I was worn out! But it was a lot of fun, and I won some money. I went to the Bonus Round, but my brain just wouldn't kick in and I missed my puzzle, costing me $25k. I beleive most people would have a hard time with it simply because of the pressure involved.

Instead of feeling bad about solving the puzzle I would purposely read the puzzle incorrectly and hope the next person did just so it could come back to the person who screwed up. I couldn't watch someone lose $36k just so I could make $500. Hell she'd probably be so extactic she'd swing me a couple $G's just for being nice....

I use to like the show but it is boring. Pat gets confused alot and some of the things he says is strange. Vanna looks great and I use to love to see just what she was wearing. The show does nothing for me and I think it is not worth watching. Please some of the words or phrases are strange. I have never heard some of them . So I wonder how can you guess something you never hear. It is just old and not interesting. Take it off.

I did not read all of the comments, but anyone that commented on race in regards to these bloopers is an idiot...period!
As far as the show goes, I tried out for Wheel Of fortune and was called back for the finals, and I tell you that it is much more nerve wracking than it looks. It is EASY to play the game from your easy chair at home, but just try it in front of a studio audience!
Long Spin The wheel Of Fortune! :)

I have watched the show for a long time. I can't belive the letter some pick on the bonus round, sound more like they are not even thinking. But I enjoy and it is a great family show, better than a lot of the game show on right now. Proves it by how long it has been going and the fact that it does appear in other place around the world.

Boy am I glad I didn't make this list. I was on Wheel in 1989 and I didn't know who Glenda Jackson was. I solved the puzzle anyway by a good guess. These people must be embarrassed.
