* ScrappyMechanic: Arguably, the Longshot. A contestant who legitimately reaches level 6 with very little time left loses the ability to call it, ironically putting them in a worse position than someone who didn't reach level 6 at all. In fact, barring situations where Longshot ''cannot'' be called, there seems to be no real reason ''not'' to call Longshot if at all possible.
