Not the Smartest Move

[darkpowrjd]

Though not smart, I could see what she might've been thinking there. She might've forgotten about the leading player not having any spins left, or perhaps she wanted to do a "just in case" move. Though this version didn't have returning champs, they never had a three way tie for $0, something that happened a few times on the original PYL, which had quite a few crazy finishes that might've not seemed probable on any other game show. Didn't know what they would've done if that ever happened.

@darkpowrjd

This version actually had a three-way $0 tie once, I saw the episode. It was from the first season. The person with the least whammies returned on another show later in the season.

[ethanman62187]

O.M.G. I did the same thing to my 805 trillion dollar jackpot.

[pegasusxwa316187]

Another game show fail!

[biruss]

Wh didn't cynthia pass at 10499?

[AgentZombieMan]

wow.. she's stupid

[biruss]

She needed to pass to the lady on the left to get her broke, and then the guy might pass to her.

[dim432]

Well she have to lose a whammy or else she be out of the game

[JagaTDK]

Take the money, 2000 and 3rd place. There would be a remote possibility of the dude getting up to 3 whammys and out of spite passes the rest of the spins to the leader, potentially knocking her out with a whammy on the last spin. I've seen crazier things happen.

[M200XL]

Well she was snapped out of the picture nomatter what she did, player 1 already took all her spins and was in first place, and whatever spins player 3 passed wouldve went to player one. Lose a whammy was probly the better bet.

[2123355]

i never even herd of this show

[893160007]

not stupid lots of spins left if she took the money she would still be in third so this way if she gets passed the spins she would be less likely to whammy out

[ThePikpikcarrot]

lol i will probably have to watch every episode of this show to fully understand what went wrong...

[slackerdc]

You can't win with 0 dollars and she was out of spins.

[newguy33X]

No, that "honour" belongs to "Deal or No Deal"

[99andonehalfdays]

i'm pretty sure the whammy monster's a chump

[nlafavore]

This bad decision ended up costing her the win, too.

[GSNSmashFan3]

@nlafavore

LOL, I know. I got so mad when I saw this episode the first time. I believe she's the only contestant that ever chose the Lose a Whammy on the show.

[nlafavore]

@GSNSmashFan3 No, she's not the only contestant to do so, but still...

[JOELAB1020]

i second that. lol. there's some game shows that you turn to and ur like, "wtf is going on?"

[therealnick103]

11 in the earned column for John? How many questions are there in the question round?

[kolst8406]

I think there are five. The person who answers the question first gets 3 points, so there's a potential for 15 spins.

[therealnick103]

Thanks.

[reneecmc]

There are four, not five.

[Jnelson09Returns]

No, there are five. There were only four in the original.

[nexttomarken]

If I was Cynthia I would've passed my two remaining spins to Shannon and hope she hits a double whammy.

[kolst8406]

Yes, and it was unlikely Shannon would earn 4k in 2 spins even if she didn't hit a whammy.

[dim432]

she need to lose a whammy to keep herself in the game.

[TheCheezWizz]

no, she needed to not get another whammy to keep herself in the game. She's stupid and she's probably also the only person to ever choose to lose a whammy.

[gsparkway324]

stupid! take the money, at least u have a better chance to win

[Flake777]

It was only the first round, losing the wammy was a good choice, should still had more spins and could of ended up with 3 whammys in just the first round, and that could of messed up things for her,so in her case, her choice was good lose the whammy, on another day, taking the money would of been best

[gsparkway324]

This was round 3. Unlike the original PYL, this had first round (spin til u want to stop), then a question round, then another spin round (with earned spins)

[MyNameisB4U]

no stupid. it was the third round. See how there were earned columns and passed columns.

[luigi250]

I get that she was on 3 at the time, but losing the whammy would take her out of contention barring a player's elimination.

[Luigifan1091]

y would u lose a whammy with 1 spin left and eliminate urself from the game? i dont get it

[moondy11]

wtf is this game !!!!

[auburn4wins]

Although Todd didn't outright say anything about Cynthia's decision, he probably thought to himself, "What a dumb move!"

[supremetaco]

Peter probably would've said something.

[kidsongselephant]

She lost all money and made a wrong decision.

[JurkowskiWyro]

Agree, but if the Spins where passed, it would have gbeen a Decent Stategy, but I Would Do it, so I could Purposely get a Whammy... I LIKE TO BE WHAMMIED!!! (Yes, I'm a Slight Moron in that way)

[frirules]

How gay is that?

[xsmootx]

"Hey I'll elminate myself from contention by removing a whammy"

Yeah not the brightest idea when you have NO spins left.

I also agree about the fuzzy noise thing

[harmelion]

its called passing

[CDCB]

There was a strange, fuzzy sort of noise right at the end.
