Wheel of Fortune contestant Christina stunned herself and the audience with a lightning-fast Bonus Round solve, driving away in a brand new Ford Bronco.
Already $16,000 richer, Christina introduced her husband Frank to the audience as her “smoking hot five out of five husband,” drawing laughter from the crowd and a playful remark from host Ryan Seacrest.
After spinning the wheel and landing on the letter P, Christina chose the “Food and Drink” category. The initial letters provided – R, S, T, L, N, and E – left the puzzle looking daunting: “_____ E__.” Even with Christina’s added choices of C, P, M, and A, the puzzle remained cryptic: “_C PEAC.”
With just 10 seconds on the clock, Christina confidently declared, “Juicy peach.” Her instant solve surprised even herself as Seacrest confirmed the correct answer. The prize envelope revealed the word “Ford,” and Christina and Frank celebrated their new Bronco win with an exuberant embrace.
The heartwarming moment resonated with fans online, with many congratulating the couple on their win. One commenter praised Christina’s performance, calling it “peachy,” while another celebrated her as a car winner during the Ryan Seacrest era of the show.
