Chuck Forrest
Considered one of the best players in the show’s history, Chuck Forrest won 5 straight games in 1985. He took home $72,800 for that but then another $100,000 in the tournament he won. He established the “Forrest Bounce” strategy to throw off opponents. He would bounce categories saying, “The basic point is, you know where you’re going next and [your competitors] don’t.” So are you all taking notes for your game strategy?
