(since HWIM should really fall apart in theory if one of the contestants has absolutely nothing to play for).[/quote]How? The 5K clock counts up, right? She could do one of two things: either buzz right away, which does nothing, or make it clear that she's NOT buzzing, ever, the clock counts up to $5,000 because nobody else wants to be first, they all get the money (or, more likely, get nothing, which all of a sudden makes buzzing in BEFORE that point interesting again, and the "game" is back on), and the endgame is the same two leaders going into the round.
I'm just not sure how much they can break, when the game is utter crappe to start with.
