LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'Wheel of Fortune' is the epitome of intellectual prowess, with participants solving complex puzzles. The show's addictive spinning game is a perfect match for contestants who want to win unimaginable riches. When it comes to creativity, 'Wheel of Fortune' knows no bounds as hosts Pat Sajak and Vanna White ensure that the themed episodes are an absolute masterclass. Recently, during a 'Star Wars'-themed episode, a contestant defended the game show by calling out trolls on social media.

'Wheel of Fortune' is currently delighting its viewers and contestants with 'Star Wars'-themed segments. One of the contestants, Kimberly Laflamme, wore an R2-D2 outfit from 'Star Wars' as she solved the riddles. Although she couldn't give a correct answer to the riddle, she was taunted by host Pat Sajak, who told her not to bother with her answers. Nevertheless, she defended the show when she slammed trolls in an Instagram post.

'I’m proud to be one of those weirdos'

During a recent episode of ‘Wheel of Fortune,' host Pat Sajak and contestant Kimberly had a wholesome encounter that was shared on Instagram. In the hilarious clip Pat, 76, says, “You’re dressed for the occasion.” Kimberly replied, “Yes, I am.” She then mimicked the sound effects of droids from sci-fi movies. While the audience burst into laughter, Pat shook his head and added, “Good to have you here. And you do sound effects too!” Kimberly said, “I try!” Pat concluded with, “Very nice.” Although the clip was funny, the show was brutally slammed for the weird episode. A person commented, “Sorry, but I do not like this. Cannot wait till the show gets back to normal.” Surprisingly, Kimberly defended the show and snapped at the troll adding, “Then don’t watch.” The troll replied, “I won’t,” and Kimberly counters back, “Sweet!”

This wasn’t the only troll she clapped back at as others joined the comment section saying, “I have a feeling that the show has seen all sorts of weird things and people over the years.” Kimberly replied, “And I’m proud to be one of those weirdos.” She further added firing back at the remarks, “FOR THE RECORD - that whistle was 100 per cent improvised! I did not plan on doing the impersonation. Lots of laughs.”

Pat Sajak’s sarcastic response

During Galactic Celebration week, host Pat Sajak got sarcastic with a contestant. On Friday, June 2 broadcast, Kimberly had her win midway through the 'Star Wars'-themed game. When host Vanna White placed M on the board, Pat reminded Kimberly of her position in the game. He said, “You have $3,900..almost $5,000, but again, could be $10,000.” When Kimberly spin the wheel and it stopped on the $10,000 sign, she screamed in joy to take her win. She picked up the sign with $10,000 written on it and jumped with excitement. Although she was joined by co-contestant Jadarrel and Dana-Joel on her win, Pat was caught off-guard as he gracefully mocked her reaction, “Wow, you don't play a lot of poker, do you?”
