Wheel of Fortune ticks off some fans by allowing a contestant to compete twice


https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/controversy-spins-around-wheel-of-fortune-contestant-appearing-on-show-twice-050950654.html

Contestants are only allowed to play the Wheel once. But an exception was made for Tony Harrison. “If Tony looks familiar — this is Tony Harrison, who's been here before,” said host Pat Sajak while introducing the contestants Monday night. “We had a little production issue, and in the interests of fairness, we brought Tony back.” Fans remembered Harrison playing in 2017. Some fans complained on Twitter that Harrison, who took home $93,831 in cash and prizes on Monday, had an unfair advantage in being allowed to return for a second time.

I don't know how he would have an "unfair advantage." The puzzles are always different, and the wheel doesn't seem to favor anyone.
