MannyFits I enjoyed watching you. Everyone could see you were glad to be there!
When I watch the show I've noticed a trend. Players less-proficient in puzzle solving often walk away with some great big money/big prize wins. While a quicker solver may go one spin, two spins more - the pressure to just SOLVE it is pretty strong (especially like in my case when you've just regained control after a bankrupt - I was AFRAID to spin again). BUT.. if you don't know the puzzle you really have no choice. You're not taking a chance, you're doing the only thing you can do - spin again - and if luck is on your side you'll land on some big money, or the prize wedge, or more cardboard while you piece the puzzle together.
So I absolutely agree with what I consider obvious - the best puzzle solvers are not always the biggest winners.

I hate to bring this up again, but I realized something that's pretty depressing... If this were Season 26, Emily wouldn't have lost the MDW...

She landed on the Bankrupt that was just a purple $600 until they made the dumb decision to have two Bankrupts present for the whole game.

Admittedly, just one BANKRUPT space was probably TOO low, the balance right now is good.
Be nice, Wayo. <--- Oh come on. There's too much regretting and assuming around here.
