A recent Wheel of Fortune clue had three contestants up a stream without a paddle. More specifically, they were without a pedal boat, when the game show asked "What are you doing?" and the available letters still left them stumped. The episode featuring this recreational clue aired on Wednesday. After it aired, viewers took to social media to share their reactions and reference a trend of contestants having a hard time giving correct answers on the show.
