Give her a do over

The female contestant on Wheel of Fortune had just asked for a "G" after hitting $10,000 on the wheel, making the puzzle look like this:

E __ C L U S I __ E
N I G H T C L U B

To everyone's amazement, she chose to spin again. The wheel just missed BANKRUPT before settling on $300. With great assurance and authority, the woman yelled, "K!" Pat Sajack stared while the audience let out a collective roar that could have been interpreted to mean, "You idiot!"

The 10 year-old I was watching the show with has never stepped foot in a nightclub before but even he was wise enough to know that, sometimes, nightclubs are E-X-C-L-U-S-I-V-E.

I've been in some towns where Wheel Of Fortune comes on right after Jeopardy!, which struck me as ironic because the most intelligent game show was preceding the dumbest. Wonder if they did that on purpose.
