The
Wheel of Misfortune For the last eight weeks, you have been watching ten people enter Solitary in the hopes of being the last one to leave. Seven weeks and seven players later, we're down to the final three... Martial artist Rommel, student Kelsey, and Solitary 2.0 runnerup Tyler. By the end of the hourminuteday, one of these three will be $50,000 richer... But for now... the treatment continues... The pods, once more...
We are down to penalty squats. Remember, Rommel has the most penalty time out of the three. And Tyler is down. Will he get back up or hit the red button? He... hits the red button, saying that his body quit on him. He was a true champion... but his Solitary journey ends here for GOOD. Ironically, on a challenge involving chains. Tyler... please evacuate your pod... again. "Goodbye, number.... Tyler." And then there were two. Next round... there will be no end... but there will be no beginning either. TREATMENT ENDS. Welcome to the finals! Next up, a little bit of every treatment... a monkey suit, a crown of nails, and a banana... First, let's deal with the bananas. You can eat two, eat one pass one, or pass both. Rommel gets three nanners, Kelsey, only one. Next, wasabi shooters. You can drink two, drink one pass one, or pass both. Rommel gets one, Kelsey gets three. And Kelsey pukes. As this is not a Treatment, this is not a quit. And Kelsey pukes some more. Next, 30 laps in the monkey suit. Kelsey goes 15 a piece. Rommel accepts. Finally, 10 minutes in the throne... 32 points. Five minutes each, Rommel says. Kelsey rejects it, so both will sit for 10. TEST: This Network Will Self-Destruct in Three... Two... One... All you have to do is decipher a code of colors made impossible by the conditions of Solitary. Expect color, words, and sounds to collide as you compete for an advantage in the final Treatment. Winner gets the advantage. Loser... BOOM. 1) What is the background
color of the 13th screen? Answer: RED. It only gets harder for the players as they go on looking at the sequences of colors, words, and sounds. Total sensory overload ensues. - What color do you get if you mix the 10th background color with the 29th written color? Rommel goes with purple. Kelsey takes green. The background color was... yellow. The word was blue. That is green. Kelsey has it. Rommel... BOOM. But we're not done yet. Kelsey still has to disarm her bomb. - What color occurs exactly 19 times in any form? Kelsey goes with orange.... CORRECT! The advantage will give her a leg up, but will that be enough? TREATMENT: The Wheel of Misfortune In the end, there can only be one. And by the end of this Treatment, someone's going to be richer by 50 Gs. Run to exhaustion on a hamster wheel, only resting when you have solved a word puzzle. To earn a guess at a letter, you must complete three revolutions. Guess the word, give your opponent a penalty round. This will continue until one of you runs out of steam, and the other runs away with $50,000. As the winner of the last test, Kelsey has earned two penalty passes. Kelsey gets the first word, RUN. Rommel's penalty is 10 laps in one minute. Rommel gets the second word, POD, with no letters. Kelsey gets the same penalty. Kelsey gets VAL, sending Rommel running for 15 laps in two minutes. She also gets FAST, sending Rommel running 20 for 2. Time after time, Kelsey guesses word after word, sending Rommel up a wall. Literally. Up until now, he has not quit a challenge. But after running penalty after penalty... some self-inflicted... Rommel finally throws in the towel. As the first one to quit this treatment, it's time for Rommel.... to evacuate his pod. But... the treatment continues. Six letter word to Kelsey... WINNER. And guess what, Kelsey Thorn, #3... YOU'RE A WINNER! So that's the fourth series of Solitary. It's a good show that honestly deserved a better fate. And with the advent of the internet and large groups of fans, we may yet see this show again. Hope springs eternal... even in Solitary. TRANSMISSION TERMINATED.
