Jun 09, 2016 Storyline Each audience member wears a 'win' watch. The host, Donald Faison hits a button which randomly selects the first contestant to go on stage where there are given a category with statistical facts which they must place in numerical order from smallest to largest.
First format
The game begins with contestants being chosen directly from the audience. As part of attending a taping, every person is given a 'Winwatch' (a glowing wristband) to participate as a would-be contestant. To start the show, Faison will hit the 'Winsanity' button on the stage to lock in on a random contestant by turning their Winwatch green. Once that contestant is chosen, they will join Faison on the stage and will become a contestant. After a brief introduction about the contestant, the game begins.

The end goal of the game is to arrange ten numerical facts in order of largest to smallest based on the quantifier desired (e.g. the number of marriages each year in the US, or the number of President Barack Obama's Twitter followers).[2] Each round builds upon the previously placed facts with the last round touted as the hardest of them all.
At the start of each round, Soltanovich will start the selector to choose additional audience members. The contestant will hit the Winsanity button on stage to randomly choose a select number of members of the studio audience. (In Round 4, there is only one contestant chosen in the audience.) Soltanovich will announce a prize that can be won by both the on-stage contestant and the randomly selected contestants in the studio. Faison will then announce how many members of the audience were selected. Soltanovich will announce the topic for the round. From here, Faison will announce what the items that need to be sorted are and play starts from here.
| Round | Items to place | Special Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 4 items | Guaranteed prize awarded this round |
| 2 | 3 items | |
| 3 | 2 items | |
| 4 | 1 item | $5000 for the sole audience member $5000 for the on-stage contestant |

- If a contestant can go through all four rounds and place all the items correctly, in addition to winning the $10,000 cash prize, both they and the audience member chosen for that round will win an extravagant prize announced at the start of the show (most times a car).

If a contestant is incorrect at any point with their placement, their game ends and a new contestant will try to complete the remaining spots on the corrected tree from where the last contestant left off. All prizes that were won are lost except for the guaranteed prize from the first round. The show concludes when all four rounds are played. In later episodes of Season 1, Faison offered the contestant an opportunity to walk away with the prizes won if they answered Questions 1, 2, and 3 correctly.[3]
