The Wheel of Fortune community was furious when a contestant who had won a $100,000 prize lost it because of an almost impossible puzzle.<\/p>\n
Cesar’s task was to find the “Phrase”, which viewers claimed on Twitter wasn’t even a phrase.<\/p>\n 6<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div> 6<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div> 6<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div> Cesar was interviewed by Pat Sajak, 76, up top and revealed he met his \u201cfantastic husband\u201d at the hospital where he works. <\/p>\n He also said he\u2019s a horror movie fanatic much to peoples\u2019 surprise since he has such a positive pluck to him.<\/p>\n Cesar wound up with the highest score of $26,393 a \u201chair flip\u201d – he announced and gestured- Pat wryly said \u201cOkay,” not completely matching Cesar’s energy.<\/p>\n When the contestants reached the special round of the episode, where extra money was up for grabs in the form of cash prizes, their energy seemed to drop.<\/p>\n Cesar chose \u201cphrase\u201d for his bonus Wheel of Fortune round and his husband Chris cheered him on off-stage.<\/p>\n Cesar chose four additional letters of \u201cHGMA\u201d and the four-word puzzle read: \u201cThat _as A ____TAL _A__T_R\u201d<\/p>\n As the 10-second-timer started Cesar did his very bused: \u201cThat was a \u2026 uh\u2026\u201d he began but couldn’t get to what was intended.<\/p>\n The puzzle then showed in full and it was revealed to be: \u201cThat was a pivotal factor.\u201d<\/p>\n The audience audibly booed and Pat said it was a \u201ctoughie\u201d as well.<\/p>\n Cesar was shocked when Pat, who looked a little worse for wear opened up the card.<\/p>\n \u201cCesar did really well tonight I wanna point that out,\u201d the host said as Cesar’s mouth remained agape and the crowd grew quiet.<\/p>\n Pat announced that Cesar had missed out on $100,000, which was only selected four times in this season. The crowd was absolutely stunned.<\/p>\n Pat joked it was \u201cfake money\u201d to comfort him, and added: \u201cI’m sorry that didn\u2019t work out.” <\/p>\n Fans reacted on Twitter to the questionable puzzle. Cesar took home $26, 000 instead.<\/p>\n Who says this “phrase”? A user posted a board photo.<\/p>\n One person wrote, “That’s a crucial factor. No one ever says it. Smfh.”<\/p>\n Third: “In the same universe that Bon Jovi’s ‘Metal’ belongs to, ‘That Was A Pivotal Factor is just a phrase.<\/p>\n \u201cYeah, I’m always going around saying ‘That was a pivotal factor!'” The fourth letter was also written.<\/p>\n \u201cIt’s so common!!! “How could he have missed that?” Another sarcastically wrote.<\/p>\n \u201cThat was a pivotal factor\u201d\u2026.that\u2019s a phrase??\u00a0 Caesar got robbed!!” The fifth was written.<\/p>\n 6<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/a><\/p>\n
