Contestant loses $7,100 in Wheel of Fortune fail

Ouch.

A Wheel of Fortune contestant lost out on $7,000 and a trip to Spain after mispronouncing a word.

The contestant’s name was Jonny, and he correctly guessed the final letters in one of the puzzles, which read “Flamenco Dance Lessons.”

But Jonny said ‘flamingo’ rather than ‘Flamenco’. Jonny had a look of disbelief on his face as Pat Sajak buzzed him for the wrong answer.

As if that's even a legit reason to do it. Mispronouncing a word in the English language is expected considering many words don't even follow the rules of an alphabet.

This is part of a growing number of mispronunciation fails. Basically Pat Sajak just outed himself as a grammar Nazi. "No Spain for you!"

They do the same thing on Jeopardy.
