He's in college and he failed so badly. What does that say about our education system?

  as shrug always says, you do something dumb-it becomes your name. I guess his is echew-is. he can redeem himself with something smart. the funny thing is, he was great, apparently, at getting the dollars up until the ultimate solve. It's like he grew up in another country(his pronunciation) possibly. Completely unfamiliar with idioms- no college needed for most of those

      sometimes its nerves on those shows. It's not like he was a professional wheel of fortune wannabee-he just played the college edition board game

        that day you would have to be wearing a kilt. it would go viral BUT we'd feel bad for making fun of you so we'd send you to the sports bar "Tilted Kilt" which is actually girls in kilts not guys. and you'd be fine with that. here's miss april:

        Thank you. I was a little nervous you might go with the kilted drag picture.

        Yeah, but they don't wear them "authentic".

      IF he is an honor student we should evaluate the teachers that allowed him to be at that level. Can anyone say relaxed standards?

Greg appeared to have no fever when he signed my book a couple of weeks ago ... !! maybe Sajak's rules heated him up to Styxian levels.

Since all letters were revealed, this is a matter of cultural reference. As a college student, I would expect that they had been exposed to ancient Greek literature. If he hasn't been, then that just points to the failing of current teaching, and as such, it is sad that he couldn't pronounce the name correctly, but he should blame his school and teachers, not WoF.

  Greek Literature?! How about a basic biology course or human anatomy?!

Should we be surprised that the other contestant read it correctly?

  ? I was surprised the gentleman didn't read it correctly. Are you a big Texas A&M fan? :)

    No, I did have a friend from College Station years ago, and from a short visit there, it appeared to be a nice place to go for education. I make no attempt to judge the efficacy of teaching there.
    
    BTW, that contestant beat the other two and went on for the next round to entertain other people who won't miss any reality shows this season.
