movies/tv Wheel Of Fortune: Bonus Round Conundrum

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824]

Alright, almost all of us here has seen Wheel of Fortune. 

 

There are quite a few things that nag me about this gameshow but the one thing that nags me the most is the bonus round. Almost every contestant chooses the same letters every time. The most common letters that are chosen are C, D, M and A. 

 

Here's the problem about these letters. 

 

According to a youtube video I watched about a week ago, these letters have a very small chance of appearing. M has only a 3% chance of appearing and most of the time when a contestant chooses these letters, only an A would appear. Sometimes, none of those letters appear and the puzzle is impossible to solve. 

 

Another thing: In the bonus round, I believe that people are adapting to what is known as "The bandwagon fallacy". They think "Hey, if he used those letters, why don't I use them as well." But most of the time, this fallacy fails. 

 

Thoughts?

Honestly people can choose whatever letters they want to choose.

 

It honestly doesn't matter to me.

 

Its basically, about if they get the money or not. Not about what letters they choose.

 

If they don't get it right,... sucks for them.
