I have been told by a former contestant that when the lights are on, and the cameras start rolling, you don't think as clearly as you do from the couch in your living room. Poor guy was leading into final but got it wrong, 3rd place came from behind to win it.
Another lesson: if you have a chance to win it in Double via a runaway by being more aggressive then go for it. Because if you leave it to Final, you are leaving far too much up to chance.
Be aggressive and win it before Final. Also because as soon as you double up your nearest competitor, it pushes pressure on them to buzz in and guess more.
