Then they\u2019ll realize it\u2019s not so easy performing under pressure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Social media users are still mocking \u201cWheel of Fortune\u201d contestants for failing to solve an easy puzzle on Tuesday. A clip of the episode went viral as two contestants failed to identify the idiom, \u201canother feather in your cap\u201d when the solved portion read, \u201cANOTHER FEATHER\u00a0 _N\u00a0 YO_R\u00a0 _A_.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The most scorn is reserved for contestant Laura Machado, who incorrectly guessed \u201canother feather in your hat,\u201d \u201canother feather in your lap,\u201d and \u201canother feather in your map\u201d during her turns. Critics, however, are also coming after fellow contestant Coleman for incorrectly guessing letters \u201cG\u201d and \u201cD\u201d on his turns. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Now the \u201cWheel of Fortune\u201d fan is speaking out and saying unless you\u2019ve been there, you can\u2019t understand the pressure of playing the game in real time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThis idiom [\u2018another feather in your cap,\u2019] is something I learned when I was 6 or 7 years old. But I haven\u2019t heard it in over 30 years and so it has been a while for me,\u201d Coleman told <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tmz.com\/2022\/03\/03\/wheel-of-fortune-feather-in-your-cap-contestant-pressure-caused-wrong-answer\/\"><span>TMZ<\/span><\/a><span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cYou are also under a lot of scrutiny and pressure when you\u2019re in production,\u201d the contestant continued. \u201cA lot of people are sitting at home on the comfort of their own couch, yelling and screaming at the TV, when we [the contestants] are the ones in the moment and in real time, trying to guess and figure out what this puzzle is.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThe sad part is that people are saying that we [the contestants] were not intelligent and were trying to belittle our college degrees,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Coleman also had a message for the \u201ctrolls\u201d that mocked him and the other contestants on social media, which includes \u201cFrozen\u201d actor Josh Gad.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWhat I would say to the trolls is that, \u2018You go up there. Half of you don\u2019t even have public speaking skills. You go on \u2018Wheel of Fortune\u2019 and go into the shoes of where we were standing.\u2019 And then it will be a whole another conversation when they are trending and making donkeys of themselves,\u201d he told TMZ.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>He went on to explain how blanking on the phrase \u201canother feather in your cap\u201d was \u201can isolated incident\u201d and wanted people to \u201chave more empathy and a little more grace and understanding.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cJust go easy on me and the other contestants because we are very educated people, and we don\u2019t want to be put in a situation where we are being cackled and publicly humiliated on a show that was a lifelong dream,\u201d Coleman concluded.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Host Pat Sajak shared a similar message urging people to have more empathy for contestants who miss easy clues. He wrote on <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PatOnWheel\/status\/1499050877813870592\"><span>Twitter<\/span><\/a><span> that people should \u201chave a little heart\u201d when watching \u201cWheel of Fortune.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIt always pains me when nice people come on our show to play a game and win some money and maybe fulfill a lifelong dream, and are then subject to online ridicule when they make a mistake or something goes awry,\u201d Sajak stated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cLast night\u2019s \u2018Feather in your cap\u2019 puzzle was a case in point. Sitting at home, it seems incredible that they couldn\u2019t solve it, but I knew in real time what was happening,\u201d the long-time game show host explained, also citing the pressures of being on national television and playing the game for real stakes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire\u2019s first original film, Shut In, has made its cinematic debut, being met with rave reviews.
