Wheel of Fortune <\/em><\/a>, and they\u2019re already mad at him. The longtime American Idol <\/em>host made his debut as Wheel<\/em>\u2018s new host on Sept. 9, taking over for Pat Sajak. According to The Sun<\/a><\/em>, Seacrest made a significant flub on his first episode, with many fans taking to social media to call him out for not correcting a contestant who mispronounced \u201cripened\u201d while solving a puzzle.<\/p>\n

Usually, every word on the board has to be pronounced correctly in order for it to count. However, when the contestant did not pronounce \u201cripened\u201d correctly, Seacrest ignored it and granted them the win. One fan wrote on Instagram, \u201cI thought he said the wrong word but when Ryan said he was correct, I assumed I misheard. Why would the producers allow him to win the puzzle when he was wrong? Not a good way to start the new season, especially with a new host.\u201d Someone else voiced that Seacrest should have been \u201cfired after the first episode.\u201d<\/p>\n

That is not the only flub that Seacrest has had. For the Sept. 16 episode, a contestant had lost the $1 million prize during the bonus puzzle, and viewers were displeased with the way Seacrest handled the situation. Via Daily Mail<\/a><\/em>, contestant Vivian failed to solve the bonus puzzle, and when Seacrest opened the envelope, it revealed the rare $1 million prize. Understandably, Vivian was shocked and sad as Seacrest smiled and chuckled, saying, \u201cYou were so close to that million dollars. You almost had it.\u201d<\/p>\n
