Because of the fact that \"you have to get the wheel all the way around, or it doesn't count, and you don't get to spin again\". If Bob started on the dollar, and the contestant gets the nickel (right below the dollar), but almost gets the wheel all the way around, the $5,000 is voided.
By starting on the nickel, and getting the nickel with exactly one revolution, the contestant gets the $5,000.
