Did you know about the pause rule on the Wheel of Fortune? According to Entertainment, “On Tuesday's episode of Wheel of Fortune, player Charlene Rubush made it to the show's final challenge, the bonus round, to go for the grand prize of a new vehicle. Despite giving the correct answer to the puzzle (which, ironically enough, was "Choosing the right word"), a long pause in her response caused host Pat Sajak to rule it incorrect.” Then, later she was awarded and gifted the vehicle by the car company. The way things played out, couldn’t have been better. Nobody thinks she paused on purpose, but the companies definitely have taken advantage of the situation to gain awareness through the technicality. Marketing at its best. This was a lot to take in, time to take a pause.
