‘Wheel Of Fortune’ Fans Annoyed By Ryan Seacrest’s On Air Quirk

Wheel Of Fortune fans have had a bone to pick with Ryan Seacrest since before he even officially started hosting the fan-favorite game show. Recently, fans on social media called out yet another annoying habit from the host. So, what did viewers have to say this time?

Wheel Of Fortune: Fans Have Wanted Ryan Seacrest Out From The Beginning

No one has had a bigger target on their back in the popular game show space than Ryan Seacrest. While changing hosts with popular game shows always comes with a rocky transition, arguably no one has been getting more heat than Ryan Seacrest since he took over the reins at Wheel Of Fortune.

Naturally, fans love Pat Sajak, and they would have loved nothing more than to see him continue hosting. However, when it comes to shows like this, the changing of the guard is inevitable. Fans have not been quiet about their dislike of Pat’s successor.

Viewers Call Out Seacrest For Annoying Habit

Recently, fans took to social media to blast Ryan Seacrest for another one of his quirks that they don’t particularly like. Because Ryan has been under such scrutiny since taking over as the Wheel Of Fortune host, watchers are noticing every little thing he does or doesn’t do.

This time around, someone called the new host out for never saying the prize amounts out loud. The user on social media said:

“Does Ryan know how to say numbers? He just flips the gold envelope open, looks down at it, and then at the contestant. SO you can see that the puzzle was worth $40,000, BUT HE NEVER says the dollar amount of the prize out loud. He doesn’t actually read it off the card and say the number that is written. He just shows the audience and cameras the card. I’m starting to wonder if maybe he just can’t read numbers?”

Some Wheel Of Fortune Fans Defend Ryan Seacrest

It turns out, some Wheel Of Fortune fans actually came to Ryan Seacrest’s defense. While many still want Pat Sajak as the host, others also agree that this is no reason to continue to trash Ryan at every turn.

Seacrest is doing the best he can, considering the type of lion’s den he walked into as soon as he agreed to take the gig, and many do appreciate his effort.

Another commenter said: “If you don’t like Ryan fine … but at least back your criticism up with substance. Saying he can’t read numbers is the most ludicrous thing I have ever heard.”
