After a "Wheel of Fortune" contestant lost out on a new Audi due to a technicality -- even though she answered the puzzle correctly -- the car company said it would gift her the vehicle instead.

Within a few days of her appearance on the long-running game show, Audi located competitor Charlene Rubush and said it would give her the same model of car she'd been denied on the show.

Nice

Boys and girls, that is how you take advantage of PR opportunities. Great job team Audi for not only making things right but also getting your name out there for a nominal cost. 👏👏👏

That is a stupid fucking technicality

That’s Awesome…The next car I buy will be an Audi!!

How about the woman who had trouble saying “solstice” and lost out on over $19,000!!! Really Wheel, she knew the answer but had difficulty pronouncing it. How about giving her a huge prize?

Wheel of fortune is becoming a scam.

Wow, didn't know patsajak was such a jerk. Think I would've blurted out a few words that aren't allowed in their puzzles after that.

Good on Audi for stepping up and correcting an error that WheelofFortune made. That was the dumbest rule ever.

Overpriced piece of junk

PR brilliance. 👍

Thank you Audi! Screw you Wheel of Fortune!

It is a stupid rule. Pat almost always says to 'Talk it out' which she was doing.

Corrupt News Network

Nice job whoisalexjacob and kudos to Audi she deserved to win. Two thumbs down to bad call by patsajak and WheelofFortune

As long as she beats the buzzer.. she wins... bad on wheel good on audi

Even hearing him explain while the game was going on was crap. To long of a pause? Seriously?

Great now she’s saddled with expensive maintenance and repair bills from being an Audi owner.

Easy PR win for audi.

'give her the vehicle' which is a gift.

And god bless us, everyone!

Dear Human Earthly Spirits, Jesus Christ died for your sins now you have a pardon but the pardon is only as good as a person accepting that pardon. Repent sins Accept Jesus Christ the Pardon for your sins get baptized have eternal life in heaven eternity Salvation is what matters

What a time reason not to award someone their prize. This show has had too many damn “technicalities”. Is the show run by politicians or just assholes?

Viral Wheel of Fortune Woman Gets Her Audi After All ... But Not from the ShowSocial media was in an uproar after the contestant was denied the car despite figuring out the final puzzle (via toofab) TooFab That show makes so much money with little effort. Would it kill them to actually just give the woman the prize? Why did someone else have to do it?Take it out of Pat Sajak’s salary. He doesn’t need it. TooFab I knew that would cause major problems the second it happened, it was ridiculous and unfair. Happy for her, and cheers to Audi 👍👍👍 TooFab She LOST!
