Early in the show, Victoria stole the spotlight with her two unusual fun facts.

First, she told host Pat Sajak that she has saved “six people’s lives using the Heimlich” maneuver in her lifetime.

The first time, she said, she was only 15 years old.

The Arizona native joked: “If you’re choking, I’m your gal.”

Her comment elicited laughter from the host and audience alike.

Pat noted how “weird” it is to wind up in that situation, and viewers appeared to agree.

“this lady on wheel of fortune claims to have saved people with the heimlich maneuver 6 different times in her life starting when she was 15. gotta be bulls**t right? or like she was overenthusiastic and did it on a few people that didn’t need it,” one Twitter user wrote.

Another added: “Im calling BS on Victoria’s claim she saved 6 peoples lives using the Heimlich maneuver.”

AIR FORCE FLUB

Victoria got even more laughs during her Wheel of Fortune intro, sharing some details about the rocky start to her Air Force service.

The game show contestant claimed she kicked off her four-year stint in the military branch as an air traffic controller, however, it quickly became clear that wasn’t the job for her.

Pat asked the contestant: “You did a lot of wonderful things in the air force, but apparently air traffic controlling was not your best?”

Victoria laughed, responding: “That was my very first job in the air force and I was very, very bad at it and so that’s not a job to be bad at , so they cross-trained me into education and training.”

The show’s host joked that she “would have been better off in game show hosting.”

The light moment was a nice change of pace from past episodes, which saw fans slamming Pat and calling for him to step down.

DEAD GIVEAWAY?

During Wednesday’s episode, viewers accused Pat of “making up” a puzzle.

In the final round of the show, contestants were trying to guess the phrase “Swift Foxes.”

Fans watching at home were outraged, noting that it’s hardly a phrase at all.

Fans flocked to Twitter to weigh in, holding nothing back.

One furious viewer wrote: “TF? I aint never heard nobody say ‘swift fox.'”

Another user tweeted: “Swift Foxes? Are you kidding me? Incredibly dumb.”

A third added: “really? SWIFT FOXES for the final play? Shameful.”

That wasn’t the only time he was critiqued for a puzzle-related problem.

HINT HINT

Days prior, Pat came under fire for allegedly spoiling the game for a contestant.

With very few letters on the board, one asks: “Can I buy an ‘O’?”

Vanna White taps the board, revealing the letter, much to the delight of the guesser.

Pat responds: “That was unexpected,” which some fans thought was his attempt at lending a hand to the struggling contestants.

Viewers flocked to Twitter to weigh in, slamming the show’s host.

“Did Pat just say ‘That was unexpected?’ when a player bought an ‘O’ in a puzzle that had the word ‘unexpected’ in it? He’s off his game,” they wrote.

Another disgruntled viewer wrote: “Did pat sajak just drop the ball and call unexpected turn of events prematurely???”

“Just now, did anybody else hear Pat Sajak almost give away the puzzle on wheel of fortune?” someone else chimed in.

A fourth fan tweeted: “Pat just gave that one away!”
