The studio audience almost ruined a contestant's winning $30,000 in the bonus round,by prematurely clappping and cheering when the guy named Brian guessed first "Second Chance",and then,amid the cheering from the audience ,thought,no that's not it,and then was given,luckily,a second chance by Pat Sajak,who said sternly more to the audience than the contestant"No,that is not it.(then,to the contestant,less sternly,said,"Try again").Well,anyway,Brian did,and gave the right answer,which was "Second Choice"And then,to Brian,happily,"That's it".And Brian DID win $30,000.Did anyone else see tonight's episode,and has this ever happened before,on any other game show as well as "Wheel of Fortune"where the audience almost ruined a contestant's chances of winning in the bonus round?

And almost the SAME thing happened AGAIN.The puzzle was "Fame and Fortune Cookies".The contestant named Todd said "Fame and Fortune Cookie-not Cookies.Pat said it wasn't right,amid the audiences' very LOUD (Louder than last night's)And the contestant knew it was wrong,and the third contestant got the right answer.In short,when will audiences learn?

...today's game show audiences (especially "WHEEL"'s) are more rambunctious than ever. This is why there's a little disclaimer at the end of certain shows that usually reads, "A portion of the game was edited/recreated".
