Wheel of Fortune host swipes at contestant who loses big in 'tough' final round
Wheel of Fortune host Pat Sajak shamelessly shaded a devastated contestant who missed out big on a "tough" final round – failing to work out the answer.
Octavia sadly missed out on the final puzzle in last night's episode after being handed a particularly tricky round with "not many" letters to start.
She chose the category Thing from the wheel and Pat gave her the letters "T R E," which were "widespread" across the board, leaving her to add three consonants and a vowel.
Pat also selected "S L N" but didn't yet place them on the board, she picked consonant letters "D, B, H" and the letter "A" for her vowel.

"No," she admitted after coming to terms with the fact she might not know the answer.
As the tense timer continued to tick, getting increasingly close to buzzing, in a bid to lend some encouragement, host Pat chimed in: "You can do this."
"Talk it out, you have ten seconds...good luck," Pat shouted – before the timer came to an end and Octavia failed to identify the correct phrase, "Autographed Copy".
Octavia really couldn't work out the final puzzle (ABC)Despite admitting it was a "tough one", Pat threw shade at Octavia, saying: "I thought you might be able to come up with autograph...wasn't gonna happen, was it?"
The show brings up plenty of tricky tasks, one in particular earlier last year left contestants scratching their heads over a classic British phrase.
'A feather in your cap' is an English idiomatic phrase that means an achievement or honour that someone can be proud of.
However, some previous contestants weren't as well-versed in the phrase and couldn't correctly guess the right answer. It took eight turns and 10 attempts to solve.

When it went back to Laura, she guessed: "Another feather in your lap," and later guessed "map".
It wasn't until several minutes later that contestant Thomas, who missed a few rounds due to being 'bankrupt', guessed the correct answer.
