Wheel of Fortune's Pat Sajak mocks winner who is 'getting on his nerves' after he shocks host with puzzle-solving skills

WHEEL of Fortune host Pat Sajak has started fuming with a guest who solved a tricky puzzle in record time.

During Wheel of Fortune's fan-favorite episode, returning contestant Emil got a taste of Pat's snippy side after he did something rare in the bonus round.

Emil beat out his fan-favorites competitors, John and Melinda, near the end of the game, scoring $20,500, which moved him forward to the last round.

Pat informed Emil that he would place a $1million cash prize card on the game's legendary wheel.

The 76-year-old host asked Emil to choose his last puzzle category - Emil chose Phrase.

Pat then led the player to the wheel to have him spin it.

Had the wheel stopped on $1million wedge, Emil would've bypassed the last round and automatically won the prize.

However, the wheel skipped over the $1million wedge, instead stopping on the one that contained the letters provided by the show to kickstart the last puzzle.

Those letters given were the standard ones: R, S, T, L, N, and E.

In true Wheel of Fortune fashion, Emil had to choose three consonants and a vowel.

He picked consonants B, H, D, and the vowel I.

After Pat's co-host Vanna White, 66, put all the letters on the board, the correct answer became completely clear to Emil.

Right before Emil went to solve it, Pat had mentioned that the puzzle "looked difficult" in his eyesight.

It took him less than three seconds to solve the phrase, which was "work out the kinks," even though Pat gave him 10 seconds to do so.

As the audience gave Emil a loud cheer, Pat shook his head in pure disbelief.

He raised his hand to calm the audience members, who thunderously applauded Emil's accomplishment.

Pat then shared what he felt about Emil's moment, admitting that the contestant was "starting to get" on his "nerves" due to him having a noticeable winning streak.

Emil ended up taking home $60,500 and a new car.

SAY WHAT?

Pat has been getting sassy with the returning contestants on the show lately.

During Monday's episode of Wheel of Fortune, Pat scolded the show's returning competitor Christian for doing something that was out of bounds for contestants.

Christian, a fan-favorite contestant, went up against other favorites contestants, Blair and Caitlin.

Near the end of the show, Christian earned $19,300, the most money among his competitors, pushing him to the bonus round.

For the bonus round, Christian chose the puzzle category Phrase.

Pat had Christian spin the famous bonus wheel so he could get his starting letters provided by the show, which were R, S, T, L, N, and E.

Once the wheel stopped, instead of waiting for Pat to reach for the card, Christian grabbed it and handed it to him - something contestants no longer can do.

Pat took a moment to inform him and the audience of the update, explaining: "In fairness, we used to do it that way; the player would pick up the thing."

While he understood Christian was just "reverting" to how things were, he warned him not to make the same mistake twice if he ever returned to Wheel of Fortune.

"Don't ever do it again," Pat told Christian in regard to picking up the card from the wheel as the crowd chuckled nervously.

Christian slyly joked that if he did, he'd just "take over" Pat's "spot as host."

In the end, Christian was not shaken, as he solved the puzzle and took home over $64K and a new car.

LAYING DOWN THE LAW

That wasn't the first time Pat got stern with a competitor on air.

In late April, he put his foot down and seemed irked after one player, Lori, called out her letters while attempting to solve a puzzle.

Lori, along with fellow players Kimberly and Weston, were hard at work, trying to solve a puzzle under the category What Are You Wearing?

When Lori's turn began, she kicked it off and said: "I'd like a 'T' please- oh, a 'T'!"

"Well since you did it multiple times we'll give you multiple 'T's.'" the longtime TV star said while chuckling as co-host Vanna lit up three boxes.

Seconds letter, Lori repeated her letters once again and said: "I'd like to buy an 'E' please- 'E!'"

However, this time Pat wasn't exactly all about it as he snapped: "Yeah... there's three 'E's,' I heard you. I got it."

The TV star then responded, "There you go," after Lori said her next letter and didn't repeat it.

Despite her hard work and the awkward moment, Lori did not end up solving the puzzle, with Kimberly actually filling in all the letters.

Kimberly also ended up going to the bonus round.

However, her luck ran out when she failed to solve the final puzzle.

But she did end up taking home $28,183.
