Wheel of Fortune’s Bonus Round Shocker: Contestant Freezes With $1 Million on the Line
Fans were left speechless during a jaw-dropping episode of Wheel of Fortune on May 13, when a contestant froze up in the high-stakes Bonus Round — with a life-changing $1 million prize just within reach.
The episode featured a fun twist with a special “Bragging Rights” theme, spotlighting three coworkers from the same pediatric medical office. Representing Cypress, Texas, Sam Oh faced off against Houston’s Peter Jung and Daniel Park in a spirited showdown filled with personal jabs, inside jokes, and plenty of laughs.
Things took a comedic turn early on when host Ryan Seacrest discovered that Jung had once been Park’s pediatrician. “Still waiting for him to grow,” Jung cracked. Seacrest laughed and shot back, “People say the same about me — better watch it!”
The combination of high tension and workplace camaraderie made for a wildly entertaining episode — and a Bonus Round moment fans won’t forget anytime soon.
