The sole contestant on tonight's show is Emily from North Pole, Alaska. She is a construction worker, employed in commercial construction on military bases in Alaska. Emily was playing an excellent game until the final round number four where the contestant only has to stack one more fact. Emily did not know the number of islands that comprise the Philippines and asked the audience for help. A audience member named Danny stood up and incorrectly informed her that there were 1500 islands in the Philippines, and she accepted his advice. Right after Danny gave her the ill-fated advice, an unseen audience member shouted out "Nope!, Nope!, Nope!...." about seven times in total. Time was running low and Host Donald Faison did not have time to question the person about his disagreement with the number 1500. Emily did not react to the warnings. She stacked the final fact incorrectly and therefore lost the game. The number of Philippine islands was revealed to be 7100. Danny's advice would have been closer to the number of inhabited islands. The TV viewer will never know what really happened regarding the man who was shouting "Nope" because the "fine print" on the Winsanity screens during the end credits warn the viewers that "Portions of this program not affecting the outcome of the competition have been edited/recreated." In that final disappointing round, the audience member that Emily played with was Belal. Belal's girlfriend Jessica was in the studio audience with him. Emily accepted her loss gracefully.
