Julian blew a chance to win $1 million on the popular game show after he had the puzzle fully filled in and solved, but then lost because he pronounced Achilles like “A-chill-us.”
Because of that mistake, the show decided not to give him the win and instead, a female contestant from Texas A&M next to him stole the victory with a correct pronunciation of the "mythological hero" without showing an ounce of guilt.
To be honest, to win the full $1 million Julian would have had to overcome some other hurdles as well. But still.
Happily, Julian got a second chance later in the show, this time to win a car. Again, he had the entire puzzle solved except for two letters and still couldn’t come up with “The World’s Fastest Man” even though he was told it was a “person.” With only the “m” and “n” missing, he guessed “c.”
Seems like puzzles are poor Julian's Achilles Heel.
