This is one of those things like Laurel and Yanny that people might hear differently.
Contestant Megan was in the final round of a Wheel of Fortune game when she saw P_N_ _RC__D on the board. As you’ll see in the video below, she doesn’t appear to know it, but then she says … something. It sure sounds like “PINK ORCHID” to me, but maybe she swallows that first word.
It turns out the answer was … pink orchid! But apparently the judges didn’t hear what she said as the answer, so she didn’t win $40,000.
But there are lots of fans of the show who think she deserves that $40K. You be the judge here:
There is no question, she absolutely said "pink orchid". Please give this girl her winnings! @WheelofFortune @PatOnWheel @TheVannaWhite @MaggieSajak #wheel #wheeloffortune #justiceforpinkorchid Rooting for you, Megan! pic.twitter.com/muiRlMCMLy

I’m sorry, did she NOT say Pink Orchid the first time? Or am I tripping #wheeloffortune pic.twitter.com/b30E4l0MqE
