Halloween Week on “Wheel of Fortune” delivered a few scares nobody expected.
The Oct. 27 episode featured Ted Quann, a Halloween lover from Bucks County, Pennsylvania; Nicole Pirino, a psychic medium from Lyndhurst, New Jersey; and Diana Hunt, a self-described true Scorpio from Austin, Texas, whose birthday falls the day before Halloween. By the end of the night, viewers were calling it one of the roughest episodes in recent memory.
The trouble started with the very first puzzle. Pirino called most of the letters before guessing a wrong one, passing the turn to Quann, who confidently answered “Check Into the Bates Hotel.” The correct answer was “Check Into the Bates Motel,” which Pirino solved to earn $7,050.
The mistakes kept coming. During the prize puzzle round, contestants repeatedly called letters and vowels that had already been used. Quann even tried to buy a vowel with no money in his bank. Hunt then guessed “Splurging on Muscles,” before Quann finally solved “Splurging on Myself,” winning a trip to Costa Rica.
Quann ultimately won the game with $23,175, while Pirino finished with $10,450 and Hunt took home $2,000.
Then came the bonus round. Quann chose the “Phrase” category and added the letters P, D, H and I, leaving him with a puzzle that read “I _ ILED THE E _ _.” As the clock ran down, he tried “I Failed the Edge” and “I Filed the…,” but couldn’t land the answer: “I Failed the Exam.”
The envelope held $45,000, which would have brought his total winnings to $68,175.
Viewers on Reddit were quick to weigh in. In the show’s official discussion thread, one user called it one of the worst episodes they had ever seen, while another simply wrote, “This is hard to watch.” One commenter noted that while there’s usually one struggling contestant, having all three in the same game was a “mind bender.” Another called the group the worst trio of players they’d seen in months.
Some took a more playful approach. One viewer quipped that the bonus round answer was a little too fitting, while others joked that Quann’s trip to Costa Rica was the perfect chance to “splurge on himself.”
The episode came just a day after what one viewer described as a standout performance from another contestant, making the contrast even more noticeable for longtime fans.
