I think she should have been allowed to spin again also, but I think the fact that she spun so terribly caused Bob to not think about that and DQ her.

It's a wonder the audience didn't start booing at 6:21.

The same thing happened a few years ago! In the 1990s at some time. They had a bonus spin and also a spin-off, the first girl didn't get the wheel all the way around and she had to go again but it wasn't a bonus spin and she got a dollar xDDD But that was lame how they disqualified Ayodele =/ I wish they would at least give her something for that mistake..

[cnlaw]

What do you suppose would have happened if Billy didn't get the wheel all the way around in HIS bonus spin?

That was just plain wrong of Bob to DQ Ayodele the way he did.

Luckily, the judge didn't give her a long buzzer after that bad spin.

I'm sure Bob would proclaim a "historic moment" in that it was the first time two contestants were disqualified in the showcase showdown after failing to get the wheel all the way around. But then, the producers and/or S&P would have raised a red flag and inform him of his mistake. I would imagine that they would let Ayodele and Billy do a bonus spin/spinoff again and by then, Bob would properly know what to do if either of them doesn't get the wheel all the way around.

Thank you for posting that, Thewhammy83. I remember videotaping that episode, then read the recap on a website, realized what happened, but by then I had erased that tape. After 6 years I finally get to see that. Yeah, Ayodele should have gotten another spin to get a score for the showcase showdown. The show broke the rules.

LMAO at 7:37-7:56...Bob SPECIFICALLY said the wheel HAS to go all the way around at least once, and she did it the puny way hahaha, but SP84Fanatic is right...she should've had another spin for the spin-off only, as her bonus spin did not count...

[auburn4wins]

Right you are, SP84Fanatic. And that brings up this question: What would have happened if Billy hadn't gotten the wheel all the way around? Would the contestant from the second showcase showdown have automatically won his/her showcase? Indeed, that was one of Bob's biggest gaffes as host of TPIR. Roger (former producer) should have gotten his attention as Ayodele left the stage.
