Kudos to the Wheel of Fortune Contestant

[Tresbn00]

During the introduction to contestants, where people give a quick biography, Contestant Blair Davis unexpectedly stated " I've been trapped in a loveless marriage for the last 12 years to an old battle-axe named Kim. She cursed my life with three stepchildren named Star, RJ and Ryan, and I have one rotten grandson". Totally caught Pat Sajak off guard (1st time in thirty years) and Blair explained how tired of the canned repsonses that came from people about their "beautiful" spouse and decades of marriage. Blair's wife told him that she did not want him to call her the "beautiful" wife. No misconceptions about who they are or what they look like, Blair decided to have some fun (his wife and grandson were in the audience). Calling his wife an old battle axe has been part of their dynamic, allowing them to enjoy fifteen years of marriage together.

I heard about that and thought that was very funny. and he's right about the canned answers.

[madeara]

That is so funny!

If I was his wife, he better not come home. (lol)

Well lets face it,the marriage arrangment is a joke in this world anyway.Not sure how someone stays together for 15 yrs if UR that miserable.Or maybe they have the convenience sharing paying the bills together and they really arent that miserable even tho they arent in love.

You could put it in another way but maybe they want to be clowns.

She must be as wacky as he is.Sounds like mutual nonsense to me.

Surprised this wasnt edited.If i were Sajak i woulda said,back to reality,this is a game show,not a soap opera.

[BATISTAGIRL663]

I had heard something like this happened but I didn’t know the details thank you so much for sharing

[gaylasue]

I heard about that and thought it was very funny.  Good thing the wife was in on the joke!

[elvisdo]

I know a lot of people didn't realize it was a joke, which makes it even funnier.

[kvanwert]

I saw clips of that all over the place after it aired. So funny and I'm glad they switched it up.

[jkhanson]

That was a fun response from the contestant.  Pat knew he was just joking/being sarcastic and even Cheered once the contestant finished his introduction.

[Cbsteffen]

I thought that sounded silly!

The guy was joking. He really does have a happy marriage but wanted to make fun of the canned responses that so many other contestants give.
