Two contestants

Blair Davis is a trucker from California with a ZZ Top-ish beard and a dry sense of humor.

When it was Mr. Davis' turn to introduce himself as a contestant on Wheel of Fortune, he intoned that he was trapped in a loveless marriage with "an old battle axe named Kim." She had also cursed his life with three stepchildren and a rotten grandson.

Just to assure literal-minded readers, he was only kidding, as Pat Sajak made clear. Sadly, Blair wasn't the big winner on Wheel with only $6,000 in loot. But he did go viral on the Interwebs.

One guy who can't complain about small winnings in Michael Strouber on The Price is Right. He took down $262,743 in cash and prizes, based mainly on a Plinko game where he nailed a special $200,000 slot. I don't even want to think about the taxes, but on TPiR Mr. Strouber was a very happy man. And he's not married to a battle axe with three cursed stepchildren and a rotten grandson.
