With the addition of new host Ryan Seacrest, who replaced longtime host Pat Sajak, the popular game show also tinkered with its on-screen presentation.

For instance, the three contestants were displayed on the top of the screen during the Toss Up portion of the game. Now, they are showcased at the bottom in three separate boxes.

Over on the Wheel of Fortune page on online forum Reddit, fans took to their keyboards to voice their displeasure.

One devoted viewer said they liked Seacrest but “hate the new set,” voicing particular frustration over the Toss Up presentation.

“It’s a distraction,” they wrote, per Fox News. “I just want to see the puzzle! Why do they always feel like they need to change things just (because) there’s a new host.”

Others weren’t too keen on the new set overall.

“I’m not going to watch because the set is such garbage, tbh,” one stated on the subreddit. “It’s bright, distracting, and cheap.”

Another fan said “ugly is too nice a word” to describe the new set.

“Ugly is too nice a word for what they did,” another fan commented.

Seacrest has been welcomed, but some fans still yearn for Sajak’s hosting abilities.

“Seacrest is OK, though it will be awhile before I stop missing Sajak’s style of patter with the contestants,” one said.
