When it comes to fan criticisms, Seacrest has been dinged for making a mistake or two, and his timing is a tad delayed when it comes to responding to contestants' letter guesses. But what's now confusing certain viewers is the way the American Idol host reveals the $40,000 Bonus Round prize inside the envelope. As one fan put it on Reddit:

How does Wheel of Fortune host Ryan Seacrest behave when the cameras aren’t rolling? Many viewers might be curious now that he has banked two full months as Pat Sajak’s replacement alongside Vanna White. For the first time, fans got insight from a contestant who just competed, sharing what Seacrest is really like behind the scenes.

Wheel of Fortune' host Ryan Seacrest shared a relatable reaction after seeing a contestant try to complete a puzzle phrase and fail.

The bonus round involved Joey Sweet, program director for teens and longtime Vanna White fan from Oceanside, California. He boasted the high score of $16,150 in cash, a prize trip to Mexico, and the helpful Wildcard wedge, which entailed an additional letter. Selecting “Phrase” as his category, he joined Seacrest center stage.

Wheel of Fortune fans are not happy with Ryan Seacrest after fans believe that the host should have offered a contestant more advice.

It’s been over two months since Ryan Seacrest took over hosting Wheel of Fortune from the legendary Pat Sajak. During that time, Seacrest has struggled to win over fans of Sajak, who hosted the iconic game show for four decades before retiring earlier this year.
