Contestant on "Wheel of Fortune" Captures The Hearts of Many


The television game show "Wheel of Fortune" had a contestant that inspired the audience. Trent Girone is a 21-year-old living in Peoria, Arizona. He is a huge fan of the show and was the first contestant with disabilities to compete on the show.

Girone has had nine brain surgeries and has Asperger's and Tourette's syndromes. And although he did not win the game he became a Twitter trend as people cheered him on and admired his strength by tweeting #TeamTrent making him a viral sensation.

Since the age of two Girone has been a huge fan of the game show. After his appearance on the show Girone wrote on his blog, "I love the show and wanted to be a part of its history. I thought I would do a great job solving puzzles."

Girone went through the shows reruns to study the game. And even though he had lost he had the best time of his life. He even gave some advice to future contestants on his blog, saying, "... relax and have a good time. It is a lot of fun, whether you win big or not. That is my number one guarantee."
