There's a lot of pressure involved being on a TV game show. Even the smartest of people can break down under the expectations of a TV audience.

Melanie Fisher, a recent contestant on Wheel Of Fortune is very smart, having maintained a 4.0 GPA through college, from which she graduated in three years.

However, if you were to watch Wheel of Fortune during Fisher's episode last week, you likely couldn't tell.

Especially if you looked at the Twitter comments.





How could someone so smart be causing such a reaction? Well, that might come down to the little mistakes Fisher made.

One puzzle had the letters slowly reveal themselves until a contestant buzzed in.

It got to this point:

"_ _L_Y GOO_ FELLOW"

Fisher buzzed in and gave the guess "Jolly Goof Fellow" which was clearly wrong.



Another contestant quickly answers "Jolly Good Fellow" securing him the spin.

An easy mistake, or an unbelievable one?





That's all right, Fisher had another chance with another puzzle.

As the contestants guess letters, another puzzle comes into focus.

With the letters revealed as:

"W_L_ES AND SHEEP"

Fisher took her guess to try "Wilkes and Sheep."



This was obviously incorrect.

After another contestant guessed the letter "V" Fisher seemed to beat herself up to not have gotten it.

The answer was:

"Wolves and Sheep"




We're sure Fisher doesn't feel too bad about it though. She ended up winning and making her way to the bonus round.

There are bigger mistakes we've seen on Wheel of Fortune, from contestants giving the wrong answer, to even host Pat Sajak himself giving away an answer.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
