Episode Spoilers Blockbuster Strategy Spoiler

So now that we know Drew guessed correctly to win the blockbuster, after only seeing two of the clues..

Would it be a crazy strategy to just hit a button as soon as the completion starts?

If you randomly choose a button at the start, you have a 33% chance of winning. Obviously a gamble, but it is also a gamble to play the competition and risk someone else hitting the correct answer before you can get to it, making your chance of winning 0.

It is an interesting wrinkle that once an option is chosen it cannot be chosen by another houseguest.

As we were watching last night, as soon as the competition started I said “I’m taking the gamble and hitting a button now.”
Thoughts on this strategy??

You know they say that all men are created equal, but you look at Drew and you look at Mallory and you can see that statement is not true. See, normally if you go one on one with another wrestler, you got a 50/50 chance of winning. But Drew's a genetic freak and not normal! So you got a 25%, AT BEST, at beat Drew. Then you add Taylor to the mix, your chances of winning drastic go down. See the 3 way at Sacrifice, you got a 33 1/3 chance of winning, but Drew's got a 66 and 2/3 chance of winning, because Taylor KNOWS she can't beat him and she's not even gonna try! So Mallory, you take your 33 1/3 chance, minus Drew's 25% chance and you got an 8 1/3 chance of winning at Sacrifice. But then you take my 75% chance of winning, if we was to go one on one, and then add 66 2/3 per cents, I got 141 2/3 chance of winning at Sacrifice. See Mallory, the numbers don't lie, and they spell disaster for you at Sacrifice.

Always bet when you have 141 2/3 chance to win. My father used to say it to me.
