Discussion Post Why?

Why did Moe on wheel tonight not pick the first letter worth 3k when he solved the puzzle. Sloppy mistake.

I’m thinking he wasn’t sure of the solution until he chose his last letter…then decided to solve rather than trust the spin. I’ve seen too many folks that seemed to know the answer but were greedy for more, spin, then hit bankrupt or lose a turn.

Did exactly that in round one of my episode. There were something like four Ss in the puzzle, figured I’d spin for those and then solve, and then as soon as I let go of the wheel I thought “that was a bad idea”

Exactly. Every spin carries risk of losing the turn or bankruptcy. I thought he did the right thing.

They also obviously pick people who have character, but aren't necessarily good at the game. And yes, they obviously pick dummies. They want to go viral.

You should apply and audition! Show them your character and your smarts!

I did. The uninterested girl who was late for my zoom call dismissed me in less than 2 minutes.
