A recent episode of Wheel of Fortune delivered an unforgettable twist that left viewers on the edge of their seats — and one contestant heartbroken. In a high-stakes Bonus Round with a whopping $1 million prize at risk, Sam Oh from Cypress, Texas, froze under the pressure, missing out on the life-changing jackpot.
The May 13 episode had a unique “Bragging Rights” theme, featuring three contestants who weren’t just strangers — they were coworkers from the same pediatric medical office. Sam faced off against Peter Jung and Daniel Park, both from Houston, turning the game into a fierce yet friendly battle for office bragging rights.
The personal stakes only heightened the tension and the laughs. Host Ryan Seacrest kicked off the night with a playful jab when he learned that Jung had once been Park’s pediatrician. “Still waiting for him to grow,” Jung joked, prompting Seacrest to grin and fire back, “People say the same about me — better watch it!”
As the competition heated up, the mix of humor, friendship, and high pressure set the stage for a dramatic Bonus Round — one that Sam will surely remember, even if it didn’t end in a million-dollar win.
