Flamenco… flamingo… sounds about the same, right?
Not to the judges over at Wheel of Fortune.
Contestant Jonny lost out on $7,000 and a trip to Spain after mispronouncing a word.
Although Jonny correctly guessed the final letters in the puzzle as “Flamenco Dance Lessons,” he said “flamingo” instead of “flamenco.”
As seen in a video posted to Twitter, Jonny shows a look of shock and disbelief as host Pat Sajak gives him the dreaded buzz heard during a wrong answer.
Another contestant, Ashley, reads (and pronounces) the correct answer and ultimately wins the prize.
Ouch, Jonny.
