'Wheel Of Fortune' Contestant Goes Viral Over 'Loveless Marriage' Introduction

(CNN) -- Can I get a D-I-V-O-R-C-E? One contestant on Monday night's episode of "Wheel of Fortune" used his introduction with host Pat Sajak to tell viewers he is "trapped in a loveless marriage" to an "old battle-axe."

The big-bearded contestant Blair Davis, from San Diego, said he owned a small trucking business, then went on to describe his family.

"I've been trapped in a loveless marriage for the last 12 years to an old battle-axe named Kim," Davis told the crowd.

He continued: "She cursed my life with three stepchildren: Star, RJ, and Ryan, and I have one rotten grandson."

Sajak joked, "No wonder you came here, you just wanted to get away from everybody," before telling Davis he knew he was "being facetious."

"Absolutely, I love them like nobody's business," Davis said, smiling.

He even said he grows his beard long to keep his grandson happy.

"Every time I shave it off, he gives me a really hard time," Davis explained.

"Don't let it get tangled up in the wheel, that's all we ask," Sajak joked.
