‘Wheel of Fortune’ Shocks Fans as Contestant Freezes with $1 Million Bonus Round on the Line
In a jaw-dropping May 13 episode of Wheel of Fortune, viewers were left speechless when a contestant froze during the high-stakes Bonus Round — potentially losing out on a massive $1 million prize.
This special “Bragging Rights” themed episode wasn’t your typical game night. Instead of strangers, all three contestants were coworkers from the same pediatric medical office, bringing workplace rivalry and camaraderie front and center.
Sam Oh, hailing from Cypress, Texas, went head-to-head against Houston colleagues Peter Jung and Daniel Park. With long-standing friendships and serious bragging rights on the line, the competition quickly turned both fierce and hilarious.
Host Ryan Seacrest set the tone with a playful jab after learning Jung had once been Park’s pediatrician. “Still waiting for him to grow,” Jung teased. Seacrest chuckled and shot back, “People say the same about me — better watch it!”
