It can sometimes seem that people on social media like nothing better than mocking others, and Wheel of Fortune Pat Sajak called it out Wednesday (March 2nd) when it came to three contestants on the previous night's show who'd had a very difficult time with the seemingly easy solution to one of the puzzles. In the clip that went viral, the contestants struggled to solve the phrase, "another feather in your cap," with the problem being the last word, "cap." Among those who'd mockingly shared it, HuffPost's Phil Lewis tweeted, "I have never wanted to scream this loudly in my life." But Sajak urged some compasssion and kindness, tweeting, in part, "Imagine you're on national TV, and you're suddenly thrown a curve and you begin getting worried about looking stupid." He said you can start, quote, flailing away looking for alternatives," and that it can happen to "very bright people." Sajak said the contestants don't deserve to be subject to ridicule, writing, "cut them slack" and "have a little heart."
