To be (very, very slightly) fair to the author of this piece, the one Whammy Michael hit was on his very first spin, where he had nothing at risk and spoke like a typical contestant. After that spin, he clammed up and focused on the light patterns, only talking between spins (if at all).
So the title should be "The Man Who Got No Whammies When He Had Something At Risk", but that doesn't get the clicks.
