Edit: Article from this morning

He is being called the worst "Wheel Of Fortune" contestant ever — but Julian Batts says he did just fine. And yes, he knows who Achilles was.

The Indiana University freshman appeared on the show Friday and was comically awful at times, yet he still pocketed a whopping $11,700 and advanced to the bonus round during the College Week episode.

Batts is a Hudson and Holland Scholar, a Herbert Presidential Scholar and an honor student, but could not properly pronounce the word "Achilles" in what should have been a slam dunk money win.

When he completed the puzzle "Mythological Hero Achilles," all Batts had to do was pronounce the mythical Greek hero's name correctly. But he butchered it, losing a chance at thousands of dollars in the first round.

I won the show. I was the champion of the episode. Despite what happened in between, if you look at what happened, I still won.

Batts told the Indianapolis Star on Monday that he was familiar with Achilles, and chalked up the blunder to a mixture of nerves and adrenaline.

"I didn't have a lot of time to really process," he told the newspaper. "You have to stay positive. You have to keep the game going. And you can't let one buzzer discourage your performance for the rest of the game."

The Achilles gaffe was one of three blunders. He guessed "The World's Fastest Car" on a nearly completed puzzle, when the correct answer was "The World's Fastest Man." And when the completed phrase was "On-The-Spot Decision," Batts guessed "On-The-Spot Dicespin" with just a few characters missing.

WHEEL OF FORTUNE
However, Batts played well enough to win nearly $12,000, and is taking the ridicule he has received in stride.

"Social media and the media, they're going to say what they're going to say," Batts told the Star. "They have their opinions. But at the end of the day, look at the end result. I won the show. I was the champion of the episode. Despite what happened in between, if you look at what happened, I still won."

Batts, who taped the episode in February, is apparently a longtime fan of the show.

When he fukked up on the Ay-chill-is puzzle, the whole fukking studio got so quiet it was almost surreal. Like, he should be ashamed of that ALONE. He sucked the life and soul out of the viewing public for like 10 seconds

"I was the champion of the episode."

This is a direct quote from dude? Even in interviews he sounds dumb and awkward. Nobody talks like this unless their English isn't very good

 

[jadillac]

this has to be fake. Like dude had to be a plant
