If that was the answer the other two T’s would already be there.

Could have been worse.
ETA: The correct answer is “Huck, he be in the awe tonight.” It’s a famous line from Mark Twain’s classic Huckleberry Finn.

Not in that round. No one has to guess letters. They just reveal them one at a time at random until someone guesses correctly. Notice that the T in ‘best’ and the T in ‘the’ were revealed at different times. If he’d said “kick in the butt” that would have at least been plausible.

In my defense I hate game shows and never really watched WoF. 
Perhaps I should not type about things of which I am nearly totally ignorant…

The famous line from a public domain book that somehow has no hits online? It’s easy to confirm it’s not in it. And how could that be the correct answer when there’s only room for one word between “Huck” and “in”?

@Jesse13927 is kidding. That’s a joke meme where the supposedly real answer was “luck be in the air tonight.” The most obvious giveaways that it’s not real are that
- The clue is “thing” instead of “phrase”
- In an ordinary round the “i” in “air” would be revealed at the same time as the other “i”s
- Photoshop I can tell from the pixels etc

That’s right. And I would have gotten away with it if it weren’t for these nosy teenagers and their darn dog!
Or if whoever made this meme had just photoshopped out the other two i’s. Drats!

It happened in Italy
from the original betacam tape: so it’s possible that it was all staged
The hint was the amazons
The correct answer was they won battles thanks to their enthusiasm, but the wrong answer was, um, “beaver”
Kudos to mr. Giancarlo.
