'Wheel of Fortune' viewers vocalized how upset they were with the game show changes as Ryan Seacrest stepped in for Pat Sajak for the new season.
'Wheel of Fortune' fans criticized the new game show set after Ryan Seacrest replaced former longtime host Pat Sajak. During the beloved game show’s Toss Up challenges, the three contestants were displayed at the bottom of the screen in separate boxes. In previous episodes, the players were showcased at the top. Fans noticed this change and expressed how much they despised the new setup.
Ryan is ok but hate the new set,' a viewer shared on a 'Wheel of Fortune' Reddit forum. 'Also hate them showing the contestants at bottom during the toss ups. It’s a distraction. I just want to see the puzzle! Why do they always feel like they need to change things just there’s a new host.' Other fans were quick to agree with the initial comment and were visibly upset about the new look. 'The three box was nauseating,' another comment read.
The new 'Wheel of Fortune' critiques came after Seacrest debuted on the game show Monday night. Although Seacrest recognized he had stepped into a major role, he did not mention Sajak’s name when he opened the show. After Seacrest and co-host Vanna White were introduced, the new 'Wheel of Fortune' host shared his sentiments. 'I am your host, Ryan Seacrest.
Thank you for the very warm welcome,' Seacrest said. 'Hosting ‘Wheel of Fortune’ is a dream job. I’ve been a fan of this show since I was a kid watching it in Atlanta with my family. And I know how special it is that ‘Wheel’ has been in your living rooms for the past 40 years. And I’m just so grateful to be invited in. I also know I’ve got some very big shoes to fill. So, let’s play ‘Wheel of Fortune.
