Alright here is what was on the board:
_I_ING AMONG EXOTIC PLANTS AND ANIMALS
One guy guesses living among exotic plants and animals...not a bad guess I imagine.
Everybody else just freaks out and refuses to try and solve the puzzle. When it gets to them they choose to spin vs. solve. At least take a guess ppl. They all had built up a ton of money and as you may or may not know you only keep the money if you solve the puzzle. Since they had all built up a lot of money already all they needed to do was solve. There was no reason to try and get more. So they each choose to spin instead of solve. Incredibly an amazing string of lose a turn (w/ an occasional bankruptcy) hits on the wheel. They cycle through each person THREE frickin times and the guy was the only one to guess and he only guessed once. Finally one of the chicks spins the wheel and lands on the narrow sliver of pie labled "ONE MILLION DOLLARS". To get this cool million you need to correctly guess a letter on the board, solve the current puzzle and then solve the final puzzle at the end of the show. So she guesses H!!! Genius! She is correct. So now we have:
HI_ING AMONG EXOTIC PLANTS AND ANIMALS
So what does she choose to do next? You guessed it spin the ****ing wheel. As if a million dollars isn't enough, as if the 10K she had already accumulated wasn't enough...she had to spin again. I honestly think these ppl were just freaked out, I don't think they were being greedy trying to squeeze out a couple more dollars. They honestly didn't know the answer and they were just cracking under pressure. So she spins again and I'm praying to holy hell she lands on "Lose A Turn" or even better "Bankruptcy". As luck would have she lands on a dollar amount, something like $300. I'm thinking the only way she screws this up is she guesses a "D". But just when I think things can't get any more F'd up, she guesses "W". I **** you not. "W"!!!!!!! That would give us:
"HIWING AMONG EXOTIC PLANTS AND ANIMALS"
Hiwing? WTF? What does that mean?
The phrase as you've probably guessed was "HIKING AMONG EXOTIC PLANTS AND ANIMALS". Listen I can understand not being able to guess "_I_ING", I can even understand not being able to guess "HI_ING", but I can't fathom how someone would choose to put a "W" there with a million dollars on the line.
Needless to say the guy that originally guessed "LIVING..." was next and he correctly guessed "HIKING" and won a trip to Costa Rica and went to the finals.
Most amazingly dumb thing I've ever seen on TV. It was right up there with the chick on "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" who when asked what was biggest went with Elephant over The Moon.
