* EpicFail: It was entirely possible for a season 1 episode to end with absolutely nothing given away, if the first contestant blows their question and nobody after them secures any prizes. [[spoiler: This happened twice, including one episode where not only did ''all four contestants'' miss their question, the same audience member steered two of them to the wrong answer!]]

''Winsanity'' is a Creator/GameShowNetwork original GameShow that premiered in June 2016. Hosted by Donald Faison of ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'' fame, the aim of the game is to "stack the facts", i.e. put a series of numbers in ascending order from the bottom to the top. Contestants are picked from the StudioAudience...but just because an audience member isn't picked doesn't mean they don't get to win; thanks to the "win watches" that everyone in the audience shares, each audience member has a chance to win what the contestant wins.

The facts are presented in four rounds (4 facts, then 3, then 2, then 1), each with a category that ties them together. Numbers range from the very low (including single-digits) to the very high (hundreds of millions, or even billions). Things get progressively harder the more numbers there are, as the contestant must slide each fact in between several others as the game progresses. If a contestant incorrectly orders the facts, they're replaced by a new contestant.

''Winsanity'' is a Creator/GameShowNetwork original GameShow that premiered in June 2016. Hosted by Donald Faison of ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'' fame, he aim of the game is to "stack the facts", i.e. put a series of numbers in ascending order from the bottom to the top. Contestants are picked from the StudioAudience...but just because an audience member isn't picked doesn't mean they don't get to win; thanks to the "win watches" that everyone in the audience shares, each audience member has a chance to win what the contestant wins.
The facts are presented in four rounds (4 facts, then 3, then 2, then 1), each with a category that ties them together. Numbers range from the very low (including single-digits) to the very high (hundreds of millions, or even billions). Things get progressively harder the more numbers there are, as the contestant must slide each fact in between several others as the game progresses. If a contestant incorrectly orders the facts, they're replaced by a new contestant.
