Symoné wanted to solve the puzzle early but host Pat Sajak cautioned her to speak very carefully when doing so. The warning prompted some hesitancy from the contestant, who instead opted to spin two more times. Yahoo Entertainment pointed out that the host noted that there was a lot of “tension” stemming from the incident but encouraged her to guess if she felt she had the answer.

The actress then correctly guessed that the answer to the puzzle was “AH HA HA HA STAYIN’ ALIVE STAYIN’ ALIVE.”

However, as many people do when they sing along to the hit song, Symoné spoke the words as “ah, ah, ah, ah” rather than the official lyrics, which read “ah, ha, ha, ha.” As a result, she couldn’t be awarded the points.

Although she was contrite about stealing the solve away from Symoné, Spelling went on to win the game with a grand total of $54,300 going to her charity. Fortunately, it seems there were no hard feelings among the three contestants.
