The 'And' Rule
"The 'and' rule during crossword puzzles is the dumbest rule since the 'you must wear a shirt' rule at Applebee's," another fan had written about the "and" rule the show has enforced in the past.
Jeopardy Fans Too
"I don't often weigh in on the sister show, but: [Wheel Of Fortune] is much like [Jeopardy] in that the judges are very much able to isolate audio of contestants and ascertain exactly what was said," a Jeopardy fan account wrote in response to the controversy. "If the Wheel judges are satisfied that the contestant said 'Craftsmanship', so am I."
Defenders Of The Wheel
Plenty of fans actually defended the show and the allowance of the answer. "To all those that think [Wheel Of Fortune] cheated a lady out of the bonus round i would probably done the same thing 'pronounce' the word semi right especially craftsmanship to me the 's' is silence say it normal to yourself to see if 'you' say the 's' at the end of craftsmanship."
Just Giving It To Him Anyway
"Guy on [Wheel of Fortune] said "craftmanship" instead of "craftsmanship" but I guess they're giving it to him anyways?" another fan wrote. Others questioned why the issue wasn't caught by the judges on the show.
That's Not Correct
"Uh, he said 'craftmanship.' That's not correct. [Wheel of Fortune]," was a recurring statement from fans. Others felt that the next contestant in line was cheated.
