The Disney memorabilia collector from Chula Vista, California, had management of the wheel, and the class was “Phrase.” He selected an “S” and acquired the vowel “E.” This left the puzzle studying as, “_ _’ ‘_ _ E S _ _”_E_’ ‘_ _ _’ ‘_ E _ _ E _’.
Then got here the shocker: Gallardo opted to resolve it. “I’d like to resolve,” he mentioned. The viewers fell silent, one individual yelling, “Yeah!” He proceeded to take action accurately, saying, “IT DOESN’T GET ANY BETTER.” The long-lasting Vanna White burst into applause and a beaming smile, and Seacrest might be heard exclaiming, “Wow!”
Reduce to all three gamers, the place Gallardo cheered for himself and the viewers went wild. Seacrest was so caught off guard that he slumped onto the wheel and took a second to speak about what had simply occurred.
“Christian! You gotta be someplace? What’s occurring over there?” the host requested. “How’d you do this?” Gallardo had a hilarious two-word response. He exclaimed, “Prize puzzle!”
The unimaginable resolve gained Gallardo $450 and a $7,428 journey to the Aulani Resort in Oahu. Finally, he got here in need of profitable the sport with $11,878 whole whereas a participant named Staci gained out with $24,866. That mentioned, it didn’t- or doesn’t- get any higher than that!
This isn’t the primary time throughout Season 42 {that a} contestant pulled off an completely unimaginable puzzle guess. On December 4’s episode, a participant named Layvin Mangnane rang in to resolve an “Round The Home” triple-toss-up that learn, “_ L _ _ T _ _ _ T _ _ T _ _ _ _ _ _.”
Regardless of simply 4 letters being up, Mangnane declared, “Electrical Toothbrush,” which was the right reply. The opposite gamers had been blown away and Seacrest tripped over his phrases: “Is it psychics’ week impulsively? How did you—yeah—good job. Nice resolve.”
