Wheel of Fortune player cringes next to Pat Sajak after suffering brutal $40k loss as host admits sh
WHEEL of Fortune contestant Dimsy has a look of disappointment all over her face after she makes it to the end of the game show.
Dimsy got stumped in Wheel of Fortune's bonus round, which resulted in her blowing a big win.
Dimsy was given a four-word phrase from the category: What Are You Doing?"
Wheel of Fortune host Pat Sajak, 77, provided her with the same letters he gives each new contestant: R, S, T, L, N, and E.
Pat had Dimsy choose three consonants and a vowel - the letters of her choice were C, K, M, and A.
Pat's co-star Vanna White, 66, plugged all of the letters present in the phase on the puzzle board to create the incompleted phrase: "Thumbing Through A Book."

Pat gave Dimsy ten seconds to solve the puzzle.
Though she tried her best to come up with the best answer, she was unable to solve the puzzle in under ten seconds.
"It was too many blank spaces there," Pat told Dimsy in an attempt to comfort her after the clock ran out.
"...You needed a little more help than that," he added.

As Pat spoke, he opened the golden card that Dimsy spun for on the Wheel of Fortune wheel prior to the start of the final puzzle round.
$40,000 was printed in bold black ink on the card.
Dimsy cringed after she saw the amount of money she didn't win.
Pat imitated her, cringing also.
POKING FUN
Sometimes Pat will imitate contestants on-air.
In March, he made fun of a finalist after he got emotional during the final puzzle.
During the episode that aired on March 24, Henry, who made it to the final round, dropped the ball.
Although he didn't solve the last group puzzle, Henry entered the final round with $35,000.
The contestant, who was wearing a red tropical shirt, was very entertaining throughout the show, and he had a lot of energy.
For the Wheel of Fortune bonus round, he had three categories to choose from - phrase, thing, and events.
Before Pat was finished giving Henry his options, Henry decided he wanted his puzzle category to be phrase.
Finally, the white squares appeared on the board, and they were filled in with the letters "RSTLNE." Henry then chose "HMDA" for his letter choices.
Although Henry looked discouraged, Pat said: "Every letter that you chose is actually in the puzzle."
By the time all the given letters were on the board, a little less than half the puzzle was solved.
GUESSING GAME
In the allotted time, Henry made only one guess right before time ran out. He guessed: "Having one on my side."
Unfortunately, the correct answer was "Having you by my side."
Since his guess was so close to the actual answer, Henry appeared to be extremely frustrated with himself.
Once he discovered he would have won the Ford if he guessed correctly, Henry then stomps his feet behind Pat and yells.
Abruptly, he stops the commotion and said: "It's fine, cool beans. Thank y'all!"

This prompted Pat to walk directly up to the camera and say: "I think he's taking it rather well, don't you?"
Henry can then be heard in the background screaming, "I am upset!"
