Travis's question in the Video forum about a contestant not getting picked during the entire week of "Hollywood Showdown" reminded me of something I used to wonder when watching Wheel during the shopping days..
Back before toss-ups, when turns at the start of the round simply went from left to right, sometimes I would see a round go increasingly long for one reason or another - long puzzle, or not right letters guessed..Many times, 3 rounds was the norm in the shopping days. I always wondered, though - did it ever occur that *both* of the first two rounds ran long, never getting past player 1 for round 1, and player 2 for round 2, and when it *finally* got to round 3, there was only time for a final spin? Meaning player 3 never even got a chance to spin the wheel..
