Of course, it\u2019s easy to be a so-called \u2018armchair expert\u2019 while I\u2019m sitting at home in my\u2026ahem, armchair, and a whole lot harder when you\u2019re in a studio being watched by a live audience and taped for a program that will later be seen by millions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is to say that I sympathize with those game show contestants who make a mistake when the spotlight is on them. Just last night I was watching <em>Wheel of Fortune,<\/em> when a competitor named Rasheda errored in a way that will surely have left her wanting the earth to swallow her whole.<br><br>As I said, it\u2019s easy to sit there and laugh and not even be able to imagine a scenario wherein I\u2019d make the same mistake, but the truth is that when the pressure\u2019s really on, none of us know what gaffes we might be capable of producing.<br><br>In the episode in question, Rasheda had opted to solve a world puzzle on the board in the category \u2018showbiz\u2019. For those unfamiliar with <em>Wheel of Fortune,<\/em> this entails being given a sentence riddled with missing letters. Letters that the contestant has to guess in order to give the correct answer.<br><br>Sounds simple enough, right? And truthfully the premise <em>is<\/em> simple. And yet therein lies the entertainment value: it\u2019s one of those things that\u2019s rarely as simple as it sounds.<br><br>Rasheda\u2019s sentence was \u2018_ _ _ _ A _ _ _. _ ORDAN STARS _ N _ R _ _ D.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019ve not yet seen the episode in question and plan on doing so, you might want to stop reading now. For those of you unable to work it out, though, the correct answer is \u2018Michael B. Jordan stars in <em>Creed\u2019.<\/em><br><br>Sadly, Rasheda made a simple mistake that cost her the question, answering \u201cMichael <em>P.<\/em> Jordan\u2019 instead of \u2018Michael B. Jordan\u2019. The error was enough to prompt a frenzy of comments online, with social media users seemingly left in disbelief.<br><br><em>\u201cI know this lady on\u00a0Wheel Of Fortune\u00a0didn\u2019t just say \u2018Michael P.
